If you can do it with skill, selling (even your best players) can be a positive thing for your club. I think the last manager we had who could do this was Ron Saunders.

I think the last manager we had who could do this was Ron Saunders.When Gray and Gidman left in 1979 there was that feeling of `here we go again`. We didn't have that feeling 2 years later though.Also when Ron Atkinson arrived, Platt was in the process of being sold or had just gone.

Nearly every player has a price when the champions league mob come knockingNo i would not. He was already a world class player before he went to UTD.

And there's hundreds of clubs out there who are our feeder clubs.

That's why clubs should be constantly keeping tabs on potential replacements so that the next generation has already been identified should a top player get poached. Isn't that why we have our acadamy, and reserves, under 18 and so on ?
