Seems we have space in the wage budget
If it's true that the Premier League's wage cost controls are disappearing next season, then what we've heard from the club has been absolute bollocks and they've been mugging us off.
Interesting read, a few things popped out although a few of them were pretty obvious already.
The £120m we received in transfer fees is an all time Premiership record when we (I include myself) as fans have this idea that we let our assets run down their contracts and leave for free!
Our commercial deals have been poor, 13th highest in Europe, a staggering £170 behind Man Utd. Thankfully they are going to get a significant boost this summer.
Sp**s being in the Champions League while we languish in the Europa is really helping them close the gap financially.
The wage bill needs to be reduced.
Can't believe how **** the commercial deals are and have been since moving to the Emirates and now there's also a penalty for not making CL.
Not really when Jose gets £20m every three years for himself alone.£17m leaving payment for Wenger and his support team seems excessive.

Pretty sure Licht is on close to 100K.Wages off the book next year:
Lichtsteiner (35k£), Cech (100k£), Ramsey (110k£), Welbeck (70k£), Jenkinson (45k£) and maybe Monreal (65k£) as contract expires.
Players very likely to be sold or gone next year
Ospina (40k£), Özil (350k£) and Elneny (55k£)
Likely to be sold
Mkhi (180k£)
Total = 870k£ / week to 1.05m£ (if Mkhi leaves) => potential 45m£ to 55m£ off the books next year on wages alone!
If we don't see the proper investment in the summer, then this management/board can f*ck off!
