When a multi-billionaire buys a football club it is not about the money, it's more about ego, peer rivalry and status. Of course that is not to say Tan wouldn't want the club to be more self-sustaining, of course he would.
Funnily enough, I managed to tear myself away from my laptop last night for long enough to watch a show on BB2 last night about the rich/poor divide. In it was an interview with Tony Fernandes who when asked why he bought QPR stated that he wasn't interested in yachts which were just possessions for him, but in QPR he had a project which interested him and others could share.
