[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 659946, member: 70871"] yes we may have the biggest budget. But we still don't want to go the Toulon way. Our model has been 1/3 french intl, 1/3 academy, 1/3 foreign over last 10 years. It will be hard to keep that balance with mickey mouse deals like the 30 Elite deal and constant interference from the parisians. And the clubs that might try copy-paste the Toulon model will not succeed because they dont have the finances to hire the best foreigners. I believe Racing, and also Lyon if they stay in Top14 could potentially follow in Toulon's footsteps because they could overtake Toulouse in terms of budget and replicate the Toulon model. [/QUOTE]
