I tend to agree that Werder are exceptionally well run on a shoe-string budget. VERY impressive
do you think Mainz are doing just as well on an even smaller budget though ?

No one does even nearly as good as Klaus Allofs, but Mainz are also doing pretty well...they're little Bremen...Darling wrote:chrissicross wrote:

And Mainz have a great coach as well...just ask Liverpool fans...

Sevilla is well run well as well, partly down to the excellent scouting.

Thanks for the compliment.....but I'm afraid I have to nominate our arch-rivals.
Heerenveen is doing well on all accounts : nice atmosphere, nice new stadium, almost always a capacity crowd, they're one of the favourite second teams for all Dutch football fans and they're consistantly scouting good players and making profit on players....
(must have hurt like hell that we finished above them last year
)

Laporta's barcelona is the perfect example of how to run a big club, with a budget.

Manchester Utd. Or is this not just about finances? Man U are rubbish with Transfers but second to none at the business side.

Good question there SteveO.
I originally thought finances myself, but it looks like the topic is a little broader than that.
So what's the word Darling?

Arsenal?
Got to the final on a shoe string budget last year, and have won 3 titles under Wenger despite being massively inferior, financially, to Manchester United.

Arsenal shoe string budget (200M€)? Well they are if you compare them to Chelsea and perhaps Man U but compare that to clubs like Villarreal (aprox. 40M€), Osasuna (15M€) or even Sevilla (50M€).

In England- West Ham.
West Ham have one of the best academies in Europe in terms of the number of internationals produced for country, strong fanbase, great (if compact) stadium, play attractive football, and perform well on a very small budget in a league completely overrun with clubs with mountains of money..

Not a chance, like us you waste far too much money on useless players.

I would usually say Ajax.
There only downfall is the fact they let top quality players leave for effectively nothing.
Most of the Ajax side of 95 left on Bosman frees.

That is one problem Ajax should eradicate.
- they depend on the youth program -- good
- but they go on a cheap (some not even lasting 5 season...) -- bad!

there has only been a few of those, If you look at signings like Keane, Beckham (well he ws 14) Schemichael, Cantona, cole + york partnership, RVN, Soskjare, now where near as bad as Newcastle
Business side, no one compres to Man U though, we used to be the second team in Manchester, now we are the second richest in the world (think RM have taken us over). We are by far the richest self finaced club in the world also, RM and Italian clubs all have very wealthy backers and laws that mean they dont go bust when they do a leeds.

Everyone's made good signings, us included. But a well ran club doesn't waste tens of millions on Veron, Djemba Djemba, Kleberson etc etc. Also £30m on Ferdinand wasn't great business.

Well you're not badly run but Gibson invests a lot of his own money.

You even agreeded that he's Englands best centre back since Bobby Moore.
By the time he leaves we would probably of had 6 - 7 great years of service. He's unreplacable for us as well.
As for West Ham its funny really, two years ago people were demanding Terry Brown resigned.
