Scouting and youth

In light of the new FFP regs the only way we will get a new or improved ground will be to generate big revenues. The one cast iron way we have of doing this is through Moyes player trading. For me we should ramp this up a notch and I'd accept ten years of mediocrity if it meant getting a ground that stood us in good stead for the next four decades.

I'm pretty sure that an owner can purchase a new stadium for a team. The FFP rules only apply to the funding of players being from club generated revenue.

One thing which hasn't really been focused on in either of the Fellaini or Baines threads is the amount of profit we would be making on both of them if they were sold.

Baines 6mil -- circa 18mil.
Fellaini 15mil -- circa 25mil

That's a profit of 22mil.

Surely this should be a business model for a club such as ours -- buy young, develop the player -- sell high.

It hasn't worked out too badly for many overseas clubs so why not us ?

Young players such as Rodwell and Barkley will hopefully cement places in the squad as well as other young lads such as Garbutt and Duffy....players like Anichebe can be sold for a couple of mil...

Our scouts will have to be heavily relied upon to pick up quality players who are undervalued or can improve....

When you look at it as a business....we're not doing too badly and by following the model of buying youth and selling players at peak value we would soon pay off our debts and look more attractive to potential investors/buyers.

Perhaps it wouldnt be such a bad thing to remove Cahill (salary+past it), Anichebe (whens he leaving) Fellaini + Baines from the squad at the right prices and re-invest in a bunch of younger players......whilst paying off a large amount of our debt ??

If you maxed out your credit card and were paying huge interest every month -- wouldn't you want to pay it off as soon as possible ??

Hey Zat, in all honestly when I seen you "scouting youth" in the thread title I did think it would be about your Glitter behaviour over there in that Asia.

Hope your weekend is a good one bud.
