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

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.

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.

[@FootballDrawn]

Honorable mention to Parma, who had to sell Cannavaro, Buffon, Thuram, Crespo, and Veron (among many more), and still collapsed. Even financially bankrupt twice, and had to start from 4th tier. Glad to have them back "relatively stable" 💛🔵💛🔵💛🔵💛🔵💛🔵💛🔵💛🔵💛

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.
