This is because of the fact that the French identity is associated with cooking, just like Brazilians are associated with soccer. Brazilians are delicacies in the realm of soccer. It does not matter whether or not the player is good, it is appealing and intimidating to have a Brazilian on a club's squad." Kuper advices against this by saying: "A wise club will buy unfashionable nationalities "Bolivians, say, or Belorussians "at discounts"" (Kuper, 48). The Euro/World Cup winner is judged in a similar fashion. After such a monumental win, the players of the championship team will be put on a pedestal even though this is the worst time to purchase those players, primarily because those players are exhausted and satisfied with their success. Instead it would be wise to buy players who did not make it far through the tournament who still show a significant amount of skill.
Speculation can be made on why clubs spend the way they do. However, most conclusions fall upon a clubs desire to be recognized as a successful club through league placement and cup wins. This desire blinds clubs from making monetarily smart decisions. Every few years, clubs will sack the manager of the team due to being unsatisfied with the performance or league ranking the club has received. The search for a new manager happens within the next few days with little or no inquiry about the manager. It is a spontaneous and rash decision that is repeated primarily because of the process that goes into choosing a manager. In a normal business, any person applying for a chief executive position writes a business plan, gives a presentation and undergoes several interviews. In soccer, a club calls an agent's cell phone and offers the job. The manager that is then hired has nearly complete control over the club's assets and may spend them in any way his heart desires. .
Liverpool's recent league standings are a clear representation of bad managerial decision-making.
