So if Judge was deemed as a powerful individual, which was the case since 2014.
That was the first year of LVG and the beginning of some of the most bizarre transfers and transfer rumors the past 25 years.
2014/15 (LVG): Herrera and the infamous 'agents/posse' showing up to La Liga office and that release clause, no release clause; di Maria's transfer; Falcao's transfer after having major knee surgery and huge loan wages, Rojo in
2015/16 (LVG): Depay, Schneiderlin, Martial IN. Darmian, Scheweinsteiger, and Romero were relatively low fees
2016/17 (Mourinho): Bailly, Mkhitaryan, Pogba IN w/Zlatan on a free - Schneiderlin was sold for close to his original transfer in fee, but still at a loss and Depay was sold for much less than his original transfer fee in
2017/18 (Mourinho): Lindelof, Lukaku, Matic, Sanchez IN
2018/19 (Mourinho/Ole): Dalot, Fred IN / Blind and Fellaini out
2019/20 (Ole): James, AWB, Maguire, Bruno IN / Lukaku, Young, Darmian out - Herrera, Valencia leaves on frees
2020/21 (Ole): VDB, Telles, Pellistri, Diallo IN - Cavani free (in) / Sanchez bought out, Smalling to Roma, Rojo out.
And the average first-team player salary of the club has slowly increased since 14/15 from around $5M GBP to over $6M GBP. So paying more to players for inconsistent output. And we know there are too many players who shouldn't be paid that much. Yet the club can afford to pay these huge salaries and it doesn't really impact them, until they try to offload the players.
Player identification, player recruitment, player salary, contracted player movement (in/out), etc. Judge has played a powerful role and it's be extremely inefficient.
