Plymouth bid 750k for Jatta

Of course, football isn't a normal business to apply a chosen "model" to. Like most of us, my interest in Notts isn't about profit and loss. Conversely, irrational passion doesn't matter much to bean counters. For Notts as an entirety, promotion is more important than maximising profit. This isn't a criticism of the Bros model, and thank heavens they invest in Notts, but unless you are a behemoth like Liverpool or City, nobody in their right mind would see football club ownership as a good business investment. After four years of ownership are Notts really any nearer to making a profit?

I think most clubs would like to follow the model of signing quality players for free or very little and then selling them on for 10x the amount while progressing up the leagues. Most clubs are selling clubs. It just appears like we're more of a selling club than those around us because our recruitment is so much better.

This is how a lot of clubs work too.

Benfica do it, Brighton do it, a lot of clubs all over the world do it.

It's one of the better ways of making money, and you have to trust that they know how to replace players... Which they've already proved when they bought Jatta for Langstaff.
