Squad Market Value

[goodbet]

It is a slow day.

But have you seen the daft post by the Yorkshire post on the squad value of teams in the championship:-

This is the headline

Huddersfield Town's brutal £17m squad market value drop

This put us in 22 place ranking us amongst the clubs with the worst fall in squad value.

I assume that this is comparing the squad at the end of this season with the team that ended last season, but the piece dose not make this clear. If so Grant was still a player then who we got £15m for and Kongolo was still at the club. On top of this we have had a large number of players who's value must be zero as they are/were out of contract so in the scheme of things this is actually a smaller fall in value than I would put on it.

any thoughts?

Yorkshire post is not fit to wrap your fish in these days.

If it's based on amount of money we paid for players, then it just shows that we sold some players.

If it's based on a guessed squad value then it's totally pointless.

It is what it is, we've done a big job of transitioning from an EPL team (in player value / wage terms) to a Championship club this season - it would be a massive unwanted surprised to expect anything other than a huge decrease in squad value surely?

Have a look here which compares value now to 1st of September (the week when the FL Cup and League started) >>

...And sort on difference...all the clubs decreasing in value more than us are also clubs that are transitioning to Championship squads (including Norwich).

Pritchard - £11m

Vallejo, Schindler, Pipa and Hogg combined - considerably less than £11m.

It means little.

Agreed, the most I'd be tempted to pay their writers is sick squid...

To say our model needs players sales to work, i see very few assets in our squad.

Nobody knows how much anyone (or anything for that matter) is worth until someone wants to buy them.
Squad values are completely pointless. My house could be valued at £500k but if the highest offer I get for it is £300k then it's not worth £500k.

Depends how you look at it.
O'Brien, Toffolo, Koroma, Pipa would all fetch more than we paid for them.
