Athletic still top 3 on the full rankings (with the 60 leagues), while we don’t even enter the top 20 there. They are so impressive, I really wish that’s the model we would turn to, instead they are seemingly going all in in the worst that modern football has to offer. Still proud of our academy, that was the only thing still working at the club in recent years.
Sadly our presence in those rankings probably won’t last long, as it is clearly not Textor’s strategy with his multi club bullshit and player trading. Though it could be helped if for once we could just try to keep our most talented players for more than 2 seasons…
