But this is the question faced by all "small clubs in big leagues". Developing young players and then pocketing the transfer fees is all that keeps some of them afloat. And if Welnix can't make it pay and they get tired of funding losses, they'll sell the club; remember that in the new independent league they can sell the club (i.e. intellectual property and league place) without the club ceasing to exist.
