The recent article in the Sunday Times concerning the David Beckham transfer and how Real got him for a song raises the issue of how players are valued. In reality I think its works by adopting the strategy of getting as much as you can get but in the case of the sale of Beckham it went seriously wrong.
The importance to a club of getting the sale and buying of players right is, I think the single most important aspect of managing the clubs finances. I accept that the lower leagues are more concerned with ticket sales.
Any views?
