By calling out Sancho’s commitment in public he decreased Sancho’s value drastically. We will already struggle to recoup £75m on Sancho based on his performances but now how would we get anything close to £50m after a) his professionalism has been publicly questioned and b) the club then briefed the media about his alleged professionalism issues to justify what Ten Hag did.
It actually works out in Sancho’s favour. The club is now desperate to get rid of him and are willing to accept any price to stop paying the wages of a player who is banished. The buying club can refuse to go above a certain amount because they will say “you guys literally admitted that he’s not a good professional”. Compare this to how Chelsea fleece buyers for their underwhelming players.
Yup. It's stupid management.
