It’s one of football’s more bittersweet accolades: the unofficial title of the Premier League’s greatest selling club. Sure, it means you’re an excellently run club, unlike most of your peers, and have an enviable scouting network. But it also means you have to constantly regenerate – Bournemouth have inevitably had a tough season – and endure the low-level frustration of watching players you discovered become superstars elsewhere. In the last year Bournemouth have taken that unofficial title from Brighton, selling five major players for around £250m.
