The reasoning will be different in all cases, especially so for MGW you'd suspect, but I think we're starting to see the crunch of where Fosun's strategy hits the wall of football reality.
I sympathise with them in some ways, because football finance is ridiculous. But no one is forcing them to own a Premier League club. They've done brilliantly to establish us in the top half of the world's richest league within their own parameters, but it's a millionaire's playground free-for-all, and naive to think otherwise.
You can't sustain the gloss and revenue of the PL long-term without biting the bullet and forking over ludicrous wages and contracts, orherwise your best players and best prospects will jump ship without a backwards glance.
No one sensibly expects us to compete financially with the big clubs, but if they want to run the same race as Leicester, West Ham, that will need serious money. You don't get to enjoy PL benefits on a financial model better suited to Serie A or Ligue Un.
I'm worried too, that we're not as attractive a prospect or project that we were a couple of years ago. I'm less bothered that we're shedding older players on higher wages while looking to reinvest in youth at value, but I'm definitely concerned that we won't be able to entice those younger players or keep them happy because we won't match the wages of clubs around us (if that's the case). That way lies sub-standard players, loss of direction and the Championship.
