This is all true but if you are between 20-30 from Spain/Italy and more likely South America you don't really care about the coast and the dales, you want the best shops for your wife/gf, top restaurants, good nights out, London wins hands down for all of these over the North East.
Also London will have direct flights to your home country, I know its only an hour to London on the plane but its still easier to sign for a London based club.
If you are just an average person earning a normal wage north east is great but when earning millions and you are still young youd need to be paid double to live up here.
She also starts talking about herself in the third person. Mag fans must be up there at the top of the thickest league table, as well as the smelliest.why do you employee dim people for? What?

That will die down quickly if they're in the championship.
The narrative of the media has always been to hype up the Premiership. They make stars out of bang average players (St. Maximin is a prime example). They make a fuss over attendances in the Premier League.
If they go down, the Saudis will get zero attention. Which is exactly the opposite of what they want.
It delays the "project" by an expensive year or two and gives the big 6 another year or twos head start.

Think that like anything it will vary from player to player. Some would be quite happy to pitch up anywhere from China to Qatar if the money is right, some wouldn’t like it at all.
You’ll probably always get the odd player like Mendieta who’ll find something he likes about Teeside and pitch up there permanently, or Juninho who loved it so much he signed 3 times.
Used to get a load of similar concerns about players moving from the south of England to the north. I think that was overplayed at the time and I think this is too.
Players lives are quite highly restricted anyway, during the course of a season. Most of the top players don’t drink at all, and while they’ll not spend all day training, adequate rest is very important. A lot of the European Premier League players seem to take the opportunity to jet back to their home country when they have enough spare time for the chance to present itself, and that seems to apply whether they live in London or elsewhere.
Really don’t think that the ability to put together an attractive city break brochure is as vital as some make out, although it will probably make a difference to some.
Turin, Manchester, and Liverpool probably all have more plus points than cities in the north east, but they aren’t amongst the most renowned cities in the world, and this hasn’t prevented their clubs from reaching the very top a number of times.

They don't need to go into the village though. If you have them money and a nice house, you can be in a little bubble and not worry about it

But South Manchester has a eco-bubble development over 20 years to fit the needs of the mega rich. But really all a younger player wants is like minded individuals that him and his missus can knock about with. Their needs are not the greatest as someone else stated they often head off home whenever they get the chance.
I think he'll find that there is.
Something seems off with all of this. They really seem to have no clue what they are doing. Most mags seem happy to trust Manda's process. Is there even a process?

Not really... if they're dead men walking and inter Milan are still in play for ownership
If they're are dead and buried why spend.
What will be funny of the toddlers at the club hissy fit the fact that they're not spending
