He said £50m last year and we spent £67m net. It will probably be the same this year without champions league. Anyway, it’s impossible to say what the budget will be when a club is so cash rich. They could decide to use an extra £50m from the cash in the bank which is what they did a few seasons ago (not that exact amount but cash reserves were depleted due to player acquisitions) when we spent £100m.

John Cross is a ****ing bellend.

You're wrong, no?

I'm not sure it works like that. (but I'm not the expert though) I think you can't have negative balance over some period of time, using cash that was stocked in the past doesn't change that.

The next financial fair play period for the premier league (if they vote to continue with it) will be 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22. If the rules stay the same you won't be able to report a loss of £105m or more for those three years. The chances of us doing that are pretty remote. We're reported to post a loss next year and then that will be evened out the following year when the new sponsorship deals will be on the financial report (and the wage bill will likely be lower).

They all did, then when they got it wrong they claimed Kroenke agreed to release more funds:
Arsenal had set a £50m restriction on their transfer budget, discounting money made on sales, but Telegraph Sport understands that figure has now increased to around £70m.

Ornstein said on Arsecast that he’s been told the budget may be as much as £100m including salaries/agents fees (still don’t know if that’s first year salary when he says this or for the full length of the contract).

Here is a list of money saved in wages by losing players in the summer. This will significantly increase our budget. Age and contract end date also shown) I haven't put a value for selling as it would be pure guesswork, this is just wages saved, although some wages will be added for new players and returning loanees. Maybe even a new contract for Guendouzi :)

Bold = Definitely going/Contract ends

Petr Cech 35 £100,000 2019-06-30
David Ospina 29 £40,000 2019-06-30

Aaron Ramsey 26 £110,000 2019-06-30
Calum Chambers 22 £25,000 Out on loan 2020-06-30
Stephan Lichtsteiner 34 £35,000 Free transfer 2019-06-30

Carl Jenkinson 25 £45,000 2019-06-30
Danny Welbeck 26 £70,000 2019-06-30

Total per week = £425,000
Per Annum = £22,100,000


Should or Could Go

Shkodran Mustafi 25 £90,000 2021-06-30
Mohamed Elneny 25 £55,000 2020-06-30
Henrikh Mkhitaryan 29 £180,000 2021-06-30
Mesut Özil 29 £350,000 2021-06-30
Alex Iwobi 21 £30,000 2020-06-30

Total per week = £705,000
Per Annum = £36,660,000

Total combined if all go:

Total per week = £1,130,000
Per Annum = £58,760,000

When you take into account that new players are rarely paid for upfront, the extra £58.76m saved is huge as it could be spread for buying 2 new top players. Its only when you look at these figures that you really see the problem with our wage bill. And then we have our actual budget to spend as well!

No excuses this summer!

Might even be a chance we let Kos and Monreal go but that leaves us very thin.

Yeah it could happen. Kos I'm happy to see his final year out, he's handy to have in the squad. Monreal can go if we get a decent LB to challenge Kola.

Makes it hard to shift some of these players because of the contracts we give out so easily. Mustafi would be a top 5 earner at Sp**s.

Well I suppose he cost us 35m so the wage was always going to be high. We brought him at the same time as Lucas Perez, at least he turned out ok :lol:

Funny thing is when you transfer budget is even smaller then clubs who promoted even Wolves spend 100 million FFS whats wrong with our club which direction they really want to go? Kroenke needs to open up his eyes or sell the club because atm he is doing a damn fine job destroying our club.

And beside that we are paying a lot of average players far to much money.

Destroying the club? Don't be so melodramatic.

He isn't investing, but he ain't taking money out of the club either. Just because other clubs have wealthy owners and dodgy sponsorship deals, doesn't mean the club is run poorly. It's rather abnormal that clubs, or rather companies, are subject to such heavy investments. 99.99% of the companies aren't run this way, that's where to Uefa or whoever needs to step in to normalize things, which they have failed in miserably thus far with FFP.

Sure you can voice your opinion .. but why do you pretend you know what mine is?
If you don't understand the context of a conversation between two people you should ask for clarity or simply stay quiet as you have no idea what they've talked about previously.

Or you can simply assume a bunch of stuff, strawman one of them and pretend you are not being intellectually dishonest. :rolleyes:
I think you know which category you fall under right now.

Take a chill pill this is a fotball forum not an academic debate.
