One of the most essential pillars of achieving a sustainable Club is to acquire, improve and trade contracted players. Camara is an excellent case in point - acquired on a free transfer, improved by excellent coaching, offered an extended contract whilst exercising the option for a further year. It is a model for the future and one that clubs like Peterborough have operated to great effect to improve club finances. Other clubs have done it in League One - Argyle's record in doing so has been comparatively poor. If you look at Scarr, Gillesphey and Galloway (pre-injury, for example, you will see evidence of improvement and creating value.
Another pillar of sustainability is developing players through the Academy. The potential pending sale of Coops is witness to the value of an improving Academy. The sale of one player, such as Coops could comfortably match a season's turnover and be equivalent or more to a couple of season's match day receipts (2020 season - total ticket sales were £2.6m).
As the Club progresses on and off the field the sale of contracted players will and has to continue if we are to have any aspiration of getting to the Championship. The requirement to do means the continuation of the policy of acquiring and improving players and if it's in the Club's financial interests, sell them. The investment in data analytics, coaching and backroom medical support will greatly assist in that objective as it did for this past season.
