The danger with the sustainability model...

Ie selling your best players for a profit...

Means remaining very average and not progressing much...

Would you prefer the unsustainability model?

We were well above average last season, very close to the PL ...

... that's huge progress wouldn't you say?
 
Mental that people still have this “we’re sunlun we’re massive we don’t need to sell our players” mentality.

We’re a championship club and as numerous people have stated they’re trying to follow a sustainable model. That means selling players for big fees and reinvesting in talent.

£20m for one player is a lot of money. Even if you only reinvest half of that you can sign 2/3 quality players for this division.

Ahmedhodzic, Cullen and Gyokores cost £7m combined. Arguably the best defender, CM and striker in the league last season.
 
love the transfer fees argument, player not worth that much/worth much more etc etc...i would like you all to simply cast your minds back to 'dilibodji' (or however the feck you spell it) and 'n'dong' and recall that paying those prices at the time was basically our 'model' then recall where it got us.

we most likely will sell players we don't really want to but only when our requirements are met, i also (currently) have enough faith in 'the lads that know' to keep the club moving upwards with sound investment of all money they get.

Part of the problem is that we are not used to seeing players as good as Jack Clarke and we are frightened we'll not get another one as good.
 
I’m actually pleased about it, it gets rid of all the two faced twats out of our country and leaves us with honest players with morals who want to play competitive football. Good riddance to the bastards.

Or those who don't get asked!

I don't think the model is to sell on it is to build sensibly and recruit the right people. It's not about profit it is about a sustainable model which needs to be built and working before bigger investment comes in. Think Everton and their heavy spending with poor results or Man Utd and their poor investments in the wrong players, but Man City with heavy investment but with a good business model is now a debt free club working on a sustainably. Weather you agree or not Man City are debt free and self financing whilst Man u are at this moment heavily in debt in a rundown stadium not able to buy players they need because the correct working model was not put in place at the right time.

Man City are " debt free" because they hire expensive accountants and a battalion of lawyers to defend their accounts, which frankly are right out of Fantasia.

Correct about Utd's debt. But it is almost entirely down to rapacious behaviour by the odious Glazers, who have sucked over £1bn out of the club in various ways and allowed the Stadium and training ground to decline.
