So just that I can get this in front of each other again.
Arabi wanted to generate high fees with the young talents and develop the club in the long term.
But if you don’t have a functioning tribe, you only collect money every week and nobody buys the talents.
Instead, we are relegated and all the “top performers” are going free of charge: Schöpf, Pieper, Castro, Klos, Ortega, Nilsson, Brunner, Kunze.
That’s 39 our 63 million market value.
The 2 that we get relief for (Okugawa and Wimmer) must be taken to plug holes. And our budget will be around 13 million in 9th place in the 2nd league (according to the Westfalenblatt).
So we have: relegation, much less tv money, no coach, lost all top performers, lost 2/3 of the team value, still no money and only the young players left who couldn’t prove their quality after the disastrous season.
One could say that this is what loss of substance looks like.
good job
Sorry, but the truth is not so simple:
If you sell Okugawa, you have made 8M profit (5 times the purchase amount) after only one season with 2 players. It would also be a sign of talent that you can make the leap at Arminia.
In addition, Schöpf and Castro only came this season and only with this condition. Klos is too old for a fee. Kunze would be nice to have in league 2, but is a supplementary player in league 1. Pieper, Ortega, Brunner and Nilsson remain. Would you have sold those last summers then? What would have been the income in the Corona market? Together maybe 8M and 75% of it via Pieper and Ortega? Could these players have been replaced for the same amount?
It is completely normal for the market value to fluctuate. Dortmund will also lose almost 50% of its current value through departures. Arminia would have lost some of its market value just by being relegated. But the squad is now 5 years younger, so it has more market value potential.
