We're gonna have over 100m losses for this year, surely? I'm no money man, but I don't quite get how you can spend big money on players if you've lost over 100m and you've had no gate receipts for a year. Where's the money supposed to come from.
Think the rich Srivaddhanaprabha family had a bit to do with it. Unlike the Kroenkes they've been prepared to put their hands in their pockets. Leicester are now in the top 8 for squad cost.If this carries on for some years it will be the end of even the figment of FFP. While tv money has created an elite of leagues and an elite of clubs, it has at the same time given some clubs an opportunity to compete - Leicester would never have won the league without tv money.
The word is tv money will go down - like everything these days "because coronavirus" - and, if so, that leaves only clubs owned by money and prepared to put money into buying/paying players as having extra-football resources to make the difference. Expect Man City to win 10 leagues on the trot, the premier league to become the Scottish premiership and 2 or 3 clubs to battle for the CL every year. Even the much-loved Barcelona (sic) will move into the second tier of teams, possibles rather thsn probables.
looking forward to 100m loss from Project Arteta in 2021
Don't worry Don Vinai in da houselooking forward to 100m loss from Project Arteta in 2021
We're ****ed until we have genuine success again and/or a new owner.
But AM told me that Sp**s were in a massive debt and they would be selling all their players soon

Probably need the latter for the former to happen tbh.
Our wage bill should be manageable now, only Aubameyang on £200k+ surely?
Get rid of rubbish like Bellerin and Lacazette in the summer and few players will be on £100k+.
Jesus Wept.Partey’s on 250k apparently but we’ve got 8 players between 100k and 200k including Xhaka, Bellerin, Luiz, Sead then Lacazette and Willian north of 180k.
Lot of lesser players are overpaid as well relatively. Runar is on 40k, Cedric is on 75k and Elneny and Chambers on 50k
