You are both right, and both wrong.
If a club is owned by someone other than the fans, it is a business, whether it is run to make a profit is different. EG Man Utd has been profitable for the glaziers.
It needs to pay its debt, and if it doesn't..it is made to. (on that point I applaud the Treasury)
But unlike most businesses, it needs the fans onside, else the "business model" will fail
