How Dry should our Powder be?

I hate to break it to you but the difference in revenue between Dortmund and Bayern (about £190m per annum — figures for Dortmund just published) is not much more than that between Spurs and City (£170m) —and Dortmund, playing in a weaker league, have all but guaranteed UCL income every year.
What makes it impossible to adopt the Dortmund model which currently makes sense for them is that there are other clubs between us and City and we could never mount any kind of challenge for a top four spot by selling annually.

FWIW, I think it’s a crying shame that Bayern have been able to pick off their rivals’ best players because of their financial muscle. Couldn’t have been happier to see them drop to third last year.
We don't need to sell annually like Dortmund does. We are able to retain players more easily than they can, as we have shown on multiple occasions. But adopting the model of developing youth, we should. And selling occasionally (provided a player is agitating to go) and reinvesting we also should. It won't keep us from challenging.
 
What does that even mean? As well as being human beings, these players are also assets with value, what do you want us to 'do with them' exactly? Freeze them out in the reserves until they are worthless? Have a fire sale and flog them all for half their value in the next week?

Well Werner is a loan so who gives a fuck.
Johnson needs to be flogged asap, there would be takers for him (Fulham etc.).
Son can be rotation for 1 more season.

EASY.
 
Just joined the thread and I don't know who you are talking about but is it Joan Thomas?

Sigh... I don't think I can be bothered to debate with that extreme level of over-simplification and seemingly genuine total lack of understanding of what would be wrong with everything you have suggested there... Thank god you're not in charge of our club... Apologies for asking the question in the first place, that was stupid of me. Sigh...
