It’s literally the model the board have said we’re going to adopt. It’s not my ideal, it’s theirs, they’ve just not put it into practice, largely because Gerrard didn’t want to sell.
Bodo, Ajax and Midtjylland have all had success whilst selling their best players each year.
If we don’t do it, we’ll end up falling behind. A Europa league final appearance hasn’t been enough to give us a significant transfer pot, and we’re not going to do that every year. There’s no money in Scottish football, so player sales are the only way to generate the income we need for success.
