A thread
1/8 A few weeks ago on Slack I warned about the issues regarding the Sancho rise in an ME world and how funds would now be “locked in” with no IS to FI and that funds could only be replaced by someone else’s funds. #footballindex

2/8 Everyone said Sancho stretching the market was good and would lead to him pulling the prices up, I warned this wasn’t true and would lead to market stagnation once people realised Dortmund were running out of games and that Sancho wouldn’t win MB while PL football was on.

3/8 I was ridiculed and told I was wrong and a bitter non owner (I’ve held since 14.79 pre-SS). Sancho has since fallen 27p from peak with his IS price falling over 90p #footballindex

4/8 People will say it’s not a real fall as it’s only listings so it doesn’t count but it does matter because it means there’s somewhere between £218-£328k (depending on 600 or shares to move 1p) sitting in that sell queue that could be used elsewhere #footballindex

5/8 Sancho of course isn’t the only player with this issue
Werner £258-£387k
Havertz £124-£186k
Odegaard £110-£165k
Nkunku £79-£119k
Elliot £40-£60k
People talk about what can FI do to get things going again without realising that in a global pandemic they managed to get

6/8 the following amount of money in to these players
Sancho £3-£4.5m
Trent £1.5-£2.2m
Rashford £1.4-£2.1m
Mbappe £1.3-£1.9m
Haaland £1.2-£1.8m
Havertz £630-£946k
Greenwood £623-£934k
Foden £500-£750k

7/8 In conclusion, yes there is a stagnation in the market right now because there is a serious amount of cash tied up in sell queues (and bids and cash balances), however look at what FI have been able to attract to the market over the last few months so keep calm, don’t panic.

8/8 Let’s all enjoy this wonderful product, and if you want to help then unlist some players, market buy some players or at least put some better bids in #footballindex
