    “The Hyypiä Effect”: Why Investment Is Necessary

    “The Hyypiä Effect”: Why Investment Is Necessary

    How much value is removed from a squad each season in terms of personnel who, due to age or contracts running down, are lost to a club? Whether or not players are bought and sold for profit, there will always be the inevitable wastage.

    20 Reasons To be Cheerful

    20 Reasons To be Cheerful

    By Joe Pepper. It’s the end of the season, and unsurprisingly there is an air of despondency engulfing everyone. But for some strange reason, I feel fairly upbeat.
