Model clubs to learn from …

Just adding to previous threads as we think about the sort of club we could be under new ownership. There’s some great examples of how to deliver sustainable success on relatively low levels of investment - Brighton, Brentford, Southampton (under previous ownership) to name a few.

From what I can tell, these are some of the consistent themes;

- be clear on who they are, and what their vision is for the club
- have a proper, long term plan that will enable sustainable success
- recruit people (staff and players) with the potential to grow
- properly engage the fan base so there’s a sense of doing this together
- build an infrastructure (facilities, academy, management team) upon which future success can be developed
- be patient - it didn’t come overnight but they soon saw small signs of progress that reassured them they were on the right track
