Subject: What I vehemently disagree with is posters constantly going on about Brighton & Palace as if there's are the only models and we don't have one of our own. Brighton are taking ever larger bets and churning players and managers. Palace's ownership structure is a mess with the glue in Freedman about to depart. They're both going to come undone. I think we have a relatively unique strategy, prefer our long-term situation and see us as about equals on the pitch today.
In reply to: eganonoa 's message, "We're not too far apart. I agree on Andersen to an extent. But he doesn't rely on pace so could be holding value. And he has an extreme skill-set we needed because we lost both Tosin and Ream just when teams found out we were vulnerable to the high press. So I see some sense. I also think we have a decent sale pipeline (Robinson, Andreas, Bassey, ESR & Muniz) and an ability shed contracts (Adama, Raul). So I think things look better than you do. But again, we're not too far apart I don't think" on Thursday, April 03, 02:31:52pm

  • It’s all clubs, look at city’s Jan signings, spurs signings, Utd signings, almost none are 25+, yet they can afford almost who they want. Football is partly dictated by accounts now, whether people like it or not, hence every signing is through the lens of PSR as much as playing ability, the rules dictate that. BHA aren’t taking larger risk, their younger players hold value, on a spreadsheet and to sell on if need be, have lower wages (good for new 80% rule).

  • Their whole method is based on spreadbetting, some will fail, but spread the risk, not all eggs in 1 or 2 baskets, they’re continually investing in their talent pipeline. Spend big on older players leaves little room for error if they don’t pan out. CPFC is a club I know well, why is their ownership structure a mess? Freedman has nothing to do with ownership, he didn’t own a single share. (NT) -- Henry1879, Thursday, April 03, 07:51:53pm (82-132-222-9.dab.02.net/82.132.222.9)
  • Congrats, you've identified the reasons we shouldn't take up this strategy. "[A]ll clubs" are doing it leaving a gap in the mid-20s reclamations we're good at; big clubs "can afford who they want" and get the best young talent, the one smaller club best at it is owned by professional "spreadbett[ers]", & football is "dictated by accounts". Money is typically made in markets by specialists identifying undervalued assets, not by blind followers copying the trend. We should stick to our niche.
