Ok so
Repeating the question
Here’s a disclaimer: I’m not Spanish but I can relate to how Athletic is run so my answer is going to base on it
First of all, here’s a disclaimer: Athletic Bilbao coaches doesn’t have to be Basque or Spanish, it applies to players only
thick tundra
Yes, that's how they got Marcelino
icy jolt
In fact, Heynckes and Bielsa coached Athletic too
thick tundra
Remember Bielsa reaching finals
icy jolt
So for Athletic, wherever the coach is from doesn’t matter, as long as he can get the job done, he will get hired - it applies to the women’s team too
But to answer your question, it’s about pride and sense of belonging over anything materialistic

It’s only a part of the reason
thick tundra
Marcelino turned down Celta for Bilbao
icy jolt
Athletic doesn’t spend a lot of money because of their cantera policy and their philosophy does / did attract many managers to coach them
As the biggest club in Basque Country, Athletic welcomes every coach from virtually everywhere who knows how to manage a team of their quality with opening arms
And coaching at Athletic isn’t just about managing the best team in Basque Country but it’s about pride, a sense of belonging and acceptance by everyone associated with the club, things which are more than just football
@devout geyser @grave glen Do you have anything to add?
@thick tundra
thick tundra
So literally just about community, not money
icy jolt
Yes and the club’s nature which makes it more than just a job - the “one of us” mentality at Athletic is stronger than many people may have imagined
stiff fjord
So literally just about community, not money
Recent basque players have sold for a bit

Unless a player is a traitor to Athletic, everyone who plays / played for / coaches / coached for the club is a legend to the fans / club itself

I don’t really feel much hate for Figo because I wasn’t even born when he moved to Real Madrid.
But yeah if any of our current players goes to Real I will certainly hate him.

So let's talk about Athletic's transfer policy
Owing to Athletic's transfer policy, it's worth mentioning that Athletic loves getting the rejects of other pro Basque clubs, like Real Sociedad, Eibar (recently relegated), Alaves and Osasuna
Heck, Joseba Etxeberria, one of their legends, used to be a Real Sociedad player
But yet, the choices from "transfer in" players for Athletic are limited
And here's a common misconception that people have towards Athletic's cantera policy
You don't need to be Spanish and Basque to play for Athletic, but having a Spanish passport is a definite plus
Say, I go to Bilbao, marry a Basque woman and we have a son together, then my son can play for Athletic (provided that he's good enough) despite eligible for the Hong Kong passport too
Kenan Kodro, Youssouf Diarra, Ewan Urain, Bibiane Schulzae and Sophie Istillart are good examples
Athletic's "transfer in" policy has relaxed throughout the years but the main principles are still there
When it comes to "transfer out", Athletic also has their own way
Many Athletic players don't have a buyout clause in their contract, which is common in modern football
If, say, you're from a club like Arsenal and you're interested in an Athletic player, you can't always pay an amount of cash to get his or her player rights directly (unless he or she becomes a free agent)
If the player you want to acquire has a buyout clause, the amount of cash needed for the payment of the release clause is usually ridiculously high - Bayern (Javi Martinez) and Chelsea (Kepa) learned about it the hard way
Even if you have the cash, the tough negotiators at the Athletic front office will make you feel like giving up and the players tend to be very loyal to Athletic which makes persuading them to agree on personal terms difficult enough to call off deals
This is why only a few players have left Athletic for those big clubs overseas - if any, most Athletic players who left the club tend to remain in Spain, prioritising Basque clubs

but 500 mil for a player who just hasn't proved himself yet
is A LOT
fading ember
Yeah, that’s why they have put a 500 million release clause.
Because no one will ever bother to pay it even if he becomes a superstar.
Real Madrid for example have a 1 Billion release clause on Benzema.
To avoid anyone matching it and buying him.
fading ember
These big release clauses give the spanish clubs give a position of power in negotiations.
Otherwise situations like of Neymar’s can arise.
Where his release clause was 222 million€ and Barca didn’t want to sell him but PSG had the money so they got him anyway.
