Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted July 14, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 14, 2022 Under our previous regime: 3.0 Now: 6.5 Our new owners are honestly a breath of fresh air! Very community focused and know what they want to do to progress the club in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Clubs with wealthy owners should be excluded. So all the English should stop rating their clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Atalanta have always struck me as a well run club in recent times. I remember when they used to be pretty shocking football wise in the 90's but since they finished 4th in 2016, the club has been on a steady rise, and firmly back in the public eye accross Europe. Off the pitch, they are one of the few clubs to keep making a profit. Infact their operating revenue has tripled since 2016 which has seen them help bridge the gap financially to some of the more traditional bigger clubs in Serie A. I'm pretty sure I read a while back they were the top club in Serie A for accumulated profit over the last five years. This is partly due to the commercial profile of the club increasing, as well as the reward of constant European participation. They are one of the few clubs to actually lower the percentage of their staff costs to reduce expendature and due to a successful acadamy, they are developing some great talent and selling them on for big fee's. Infact, they have been very clever when it comes to player trading in general, replacing the 'big' players poached by the bigger clubs with players they feel they can develop and sell on for bigger profit. The fact they have remained competitive shows how well their player recruitment is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Coma+ Posted July 15, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 15, 2022 From Serie A I'd put Napoli in that discussion as well. They are a bigger club but I'd consider them right there with Atalanta. Sassuolo is another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Coma+ Posted July 15, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 15, 2022 In Spain the club that jumps out at me right now is Villareal. Valencia is at the opposite end of the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 15, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm well torn on us these days. I think we've done some exceptional things and the fact we've elevated ourselves to this position alone, over a fairly decent period of time is testamant to being well run, but I do feel like complacency has kicked in a bit. We're the only club along with Girona in the top 5 leagues of Europe to have signed nobody this summer and it's virtually entirely because of a situation we've bought ourselves into. That isn't a sign of somebody well run. That said you cannot argue with over the longer term we have punched above our weight big time. Out of 7? I'll go 5 but there was a point where I'd have had us 6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
