They’re a in a top league, but are they that far ahead of us financially? Their average attendance is lower than ours. Same with a lot of Serie A clubs (see link).

It would be interesting to see if we could scout top talent from abroad (even Serie B) because I think we’d find our stadium, facilities and the Championship would be very attractive to foreign players. 🤓

But they’re owned by a multi club bloke, so it’s a super attractive option because players know they’re guaranteed to always play in a top league

Edit: sorry MB, didn’t see that

I think you will find Italian Clubs, along with other European clubs have had crowd limits placed on them due to covid, hence the low attendance figures.

Unless the player is playing regular international football, due to the Governing Body Endorsement system we have post-Brexit, football clubs in the UK have little to no chance of recruiting out of second tiers due to the points based system.

We would actually struggle to get Riis in the building now due to the GBE system if he wasn't already here. It's cut us off from that particular route unless you manage to get players who are regularly playing minutes in top divisions.
