10 Clubs That Sold Their Best Player And COLLAPSED!

[@Wooderz245]

Man United's collapse felt like it was triggered more by Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement than it was by any particular player leaving the club.

[@annoyingasshole3324]

Yeah United shouldn't be o this list

[@goodhope3784]

Agree.. once Scholes retired for the 2nd time we replaced him with Fellaini. And then we sold our leaders, Evra, Rio, Vidic, Giggs (retired), Nani, etc.

I think the loss of Pirlo was the beginning of their downfall for AC Milan, not renewing his contract after winning the Serie A and allowing him to join Juventus on a free duo to his age was what made the 'old lady' regain Serie A dominance

[@ritheshkshyathriya6023]

It's allegri who told milan management that he can manage without Pirlo. But then Pirlo become main cog for allegri's juve

Arsenal in order to self finance the Emirates, sold off their Invincibles. They got the new stadium, but loss the magic of the old clock end at Highbury.

[@Mos41f]

As an Arsenal fan, I whole-heartedly agree with that Thumbnail. The reason why we are no longer a serious club is because of the poor captains we had since Vieira left. Not only have they lacked leadership, but they were also sold quickly after taking the armband.

[@chrisjarman42]

Surely Hull City's collapse during 19/20 season was worth a mention. Sunk like a stone from a mid table position after selling Grosicki and Bowen, finishing clear bottom at the end. This drop included a horrendous 8-0 defeat to Wigan, who were desperately trying to stay up after being shafted thanks to ownership mismanagement...and probably the FA owners checks not being fit for purpose. Never see anything like it.

For the Arsenal entry, 2 key issues were forgotten from Arsenal's 2007-2008 season: Rosicky was having a brilliant season, played 18 times in the league and scored 6 goals until he got injured, and Eduardo was also on great form up front until Martin Taylor virtually ended his career by snapping his leg like a toothpick. Adebayor also had his best season at the Club, too. If Eduardo or Rosicky hadn't been injured, Arsenal might well have won the League that season. Eduardo was never the same after that injury.

Ronaldo leaving didnt result in Uniteds collapse. In the next 4 years Utd won the Prem twice came down to the last second of the last day another year and got to a champions league final. Id say a collapse from a player leaving happens within 2 years. Ferguson leaving and a few key players aging was the reason

[@unstoppableExodia]

I think Barca will be ok without Messi. They have an abundance of attacking talent. They do miss a highly clinical goal scorer but the players they have have been with the club for quite a while now so only Memphis, Emerson and Erik Garcia and Yusuf Demir will have to adapt to the way Barca play.
