Sad thing is I think our board probably see them as a club to aspire to be, still in the Prem (albeit only just) but bringing players through, developing them, then selling them off for massive profit.... rinse, repeat. It's shocking how many of the players they've developed they've just sold off and tried to replace on the cheap to start the process all over again and then they wonder why no manager can build them up :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How amateur is that?! (.....about as amateur as us not building a sell-on clause into Andy Cole’s transfer to The Toon)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How amateur is that?! (.....about as amateur as us not building a sell-on clause into Andy Cole’s transfer to The Toon)... Southampton actually did have a 25% clause on Bale, but when they were struggling for cash they accepted Spurs’ offer of around £3m and a player (goalkeeper Tommy Forecast) to cancel the sell-on. That’s almost as bad as not having one at all, to be fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is that way Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 If Southampton go down they will sell the top earners and replace them with academy lads that are more capable at Championship level. This is what LJ talks about but will struggle to achieve during his tenure in charge unfortunately. Southampton aren’t a much bigger club than City in many ways but they have always invested massively in the academy. Gareth Bale was on city’s academy briefly then left for Southampton (sad but true). Purely based on academy reputation they will attract decent potential managers. Southampton will probably never be a top club but in response to a previous post,City really should aspire to be like them in many ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sneering at the fact that their business model is the reason they're coming back down if they're not careful. It's all good and well to buy low and sell big but sooner or later you run out of quality to sell and that's when you're left with a bare-bones team for the league you're in. If anything I'm saying let's learn from their mistakes, yes we need to sell but we also need to try and hold onto some of our talents before we have none left.
