Why Can't Clubs Sell Their Unwanted Players?

[@MarkHalberstram]

I love that The Athletic took over Tifo and instead of getting more professional they just let Joe go completely off the rails. Incredible content.

[@ICULooking]

I was skeptical about it fearing they would lose the charm... Fear no more!

This is actually false, real life is just like Fifa. As soon as you don't want a player, a team from the 7th Hungarian division will give you an offer, and that player will go there, taking an 80% pay cut in the process. It really is that easy

[@Karrimor18]

This is how it works. If the fans don't like the player that is insisting on honouring his contract then that player is greedy and has no ambition for refusing to join a worse club on lower money. If the player is a top performer who wants to break his contract then that player is a mercenary who has no loyalty for wanting to join a better club on more money.

How long until Tifo IRL moves to Sky? As a Palace fan football is much like an un ripe mango or playing table tennis outside in the winter joyous but gruelling. Tifo is like being given a blender and turning that mango into a daiquiris or being given a brand new ball for that outside winter table tennis table (this bit actually pushed the tears out). Small joys. Hoorah Tifo.

I tried to explain these concepts to a Barcelona fan a month or so ago.

2 disagreements with your Accountant analogy: 1. Ask the same question to the Accountant if he is not getting to do any Accounts work. Regardless of the fact that they are getting paid, not many elite professionals should want to still remain if made to sit uselessly in the office. 2. An accountant shall mind if made to move from an exotic tropical setting to Hull. But an elite footballer who's making wages that are 10x of the Accountant's CEO, should not mind if his wages come down to 5x if he at least gets to play and redevelop his love of the game.
