Essentially, yes. It a good point worth raising again. It depresses me when people think selling our best players is a good deal. Many of us are being conditioned to think like accountants, which is understandable given the money in the game. But how are you supposed to build a team when you sell your best players all the time? How did we get on when Murph left, for example?
It’s not so bad if the replacement(s) is (are) better, but that has happened rately under ME. We didn’t replace Mings, we didn’t replace Murph until last summer, we’ve not improved on Berra, Smith..... And on it goes.
I know we have to operate under fair play rules, but that shouldn’t make selling our best players ‘good business’. It should be viewed for what it is - complete crap, needed to balance the books.
Imagine if SBR had had to sell one or two of our best players every year - we’d have achieved nothing.
