I think they're very comfortable with that dynamic, they sold their entire back line and their best attacking player but had replacements immediately lined up. It's an amped version of the brighton model, they will sell anybody for the right price except they will just buy a younger ready made player to fill in except unlike Brighton they'll spend money just less then what they spent so far the model is working but it does require impeccable consistency to be sustainable
Agreed mate, but they will have to do it within a more limited scope now with SCR.
Them, Brentford and Brighton now have high costs that can’t be managed just on their income, it relies on player sales to sustain.
PSR was a far kinder model to those clubs the SCR, you could advance pay for players make a push, sell a player year 3 and comply - this is what Bournmouth and Brentford have done up to now. Thats not the case now they will need to comply every year, thus their budgets without a player sake are restricted.
They also create little on the commercial side in comparison to other clubs, with bigger grounds and all the bells, whistles sponsors etc.
It’s gotten a lot trickier for them.
Palace and particularly Fulham look shakey also.
