I'm not sure once you're out of the PL. It's so easy to piss money away and get nowhere. Rule of thumb based on scant information on recent sales suggests around £50m for a championship club and £25m for a L1 club (decent size, with potential). At what point do you just think 'fuck it, I'm not spending any more'? You could easily do £25m just to get to the playoffs and lose.
And how much have they got left to lose? You have to be seriously rich to just keep spending and spending. We went through all this with KM and almost went through it again with the Prince, but Wilder saved us.
I was listening to Simon Jordan the other night and he was asked about if managers were often sacked because it's cheaper than changing the players and his reply was 'not really, you get a new manager in and the first thing he says is "we have to change the players" so you end up paying off the previous manager and his staff and then you still have to spend on new players".
The problem with football is that there aren't that many people around who understand the technical aspects of it but are also intelligent enough and properly educated to be able to think analytically and strategically. A staggeringly small number really when you consider the money involved.
Soon to be moored in Hulls, King George Docks, HMS endeavour.
I think with Hull, it's like the Alam's are willingly running the club down. Surely this is a strange strategy given that it's up for sale, making the club less and less valuable?
Makes them ripe for a Crab Industries ASM (Asset Stripping Management) takeover then.
Shame they have no decent players left.
