That we've had Aaron Cresswell and now Tyrone Mings leave us and find their way to the England squad, Adam Webster being hyped up as the next one to make that leap, Didz go and play well and regularly in the prem, Connor Hourihane do the same.
Genuinely seething at the sheer scale of the talent squandered at PR over the past 10 years or so. I really hope we've stopped the rot now, as I can easily see Flynn and Woolfy being at that level in the next few years, whether with us or not. |  | | |  |

We did have Mings before selling Cresswell in fairness. |
Yes and he only cost 10k so that wasn't the point, the point was his development |  |

Athough thats always been the case for us in my supporting days.
Darren Bent, Richard Wright, Kieron Dyer all went on to have roles for England after leaving us to those ‘bigger’ clubs playing at the top level.
Although I do remember Kieron Dyers TWTD piece where he wrote of his first call up for England with us, talking about asking for Baby Spices number of a team mate.
We just need to always reinvest wisely. |
It was losing David Wright (was that down to Roy Scheme?) and not replacing him with anyone halfway decent for about 10 years that always rankled most with me. The others were kinda understandable for their various reasons. |  |

The Cresswell and Mings ones, on their own, are signs of good management aren't they? | |

Part of the downside of supporting a team with limited finances | | | |

Muhren , Brazil, Talbot !!! |
Not sure why you've cited these as they're not similar or especially typical.
Muhren was 31 and we were just staring the slow slide down, while he had a couple of good year's of a Man Utd payday. Brazil was young, but also sold at the start of the slide when 9th was our last hurrah, and his subsequent career was injury-plagued. Talbot was in his prime and went on to 250 Arsenal appearances, but his sale paved the way for the two Dutch maestros [Post edited 27 Oct 2019 20:14]

Yes, but Arnaldus Hyacinthus did go on to win the Cup Winners Cup and also be a beaten finalist.
Not to mention being a member of the Dutch team that won the European Championships. So I won't. | | | |

None of which he would probably have achieved had he stuck with us and found himself playing regularly alongside such as Mich D'avray, Irving Gernon and Alan Sunderland. | |

Imagine the size of the debt had we not sold them. Now that would be mismanagement. |  |

This is a slightly strange post. I think the only one that there could be a case for his management was McGoldrick but it was actually not unreasonable to release him.at the time though I would have kept him.
Cresswell and Mings were quite the opposite. They were superb bits and were managed well and made the club a big profit. We are a champ club and they had big offers mives. It's justbreality. Connor was just, like loads of youths, nott able to make breakthrough here. It happens for every club every season..if he stayed the chances are he would have struggled to become player he is. | |

McGoldrick was out of contract and wanted to leave, we had no choice in the matter. | |

We got robbed on Cresswell. [Post edited 27 Oct 2019 8:08]

I don't think we did - also McCarthy confirmed that the only team in for him were Fulham who were in the Championship and he managed to get on the phone to Allardyce to persuade him to take a chance on Cresswell.
When a player is in that little demand then you won't get a good fee |  |

With all the add ons I'm pretty sure I read we got over £6m for him which is/was very good money. |  |

Obtaining players who can be sold on at massive profit is not being mismanaged.
Better if they could have stayed in a successful team but if not a premier league club it is vital to sell players to balance books. | | | |
