It’s brilliant this debate in it !!!
Loving it.
Nar then ….. a bit of copy and paste …
French Ligue 1 club Nice has been bought by Ineos, the chemical company founded by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe, who is Britain's third richest man, had reportedly made a €100m (£88.77m) offer for the club earlier this year.
I’d be over the moon - even if the club sold its best players before agreeing to sell the club to someone like this.
As for investment into the club.
They cleared the deck - including the manager Hecky - when these owners first arrived.
And then set about introducing young players and managers that could play a high pressing game.
Excluding the wages being paid out - let’s have a list of players and what they were reportedly cost (£M)
Kane 1.2
Benson 1
Odour 0.3
Wilks 1
Helik 0.8
Britton 0.3
Morris 0.35
Frieser 0.8
Halme 0.65
Mads 0.5
Leya 1.7
Obbi 1.2
Styles 0.4
Kitchen 0.6
…….. etc etc etc
Look down the list of signings since these owners arrived and there is a long list of players - most of them costing between £300k to about £1.5 million.
Some will dispute those figures - there’s only people at the club that know the actual price - but the principle thing here is that we have never seen so many quality players brought in that have cost this sort of money.
Sales …….
Brown 2
Kieffer 2
Potts 2
