You said Watford spent 31mill in 15/16. That is wrong. They spent more than 70mill. Of course they got relegated and didn’t spend much in the last years. Check your dataMate, Watford have been a selling club for the last few years. In fact the last few years they’ve spent £94m, sold £126m and made £31m profit. Think they can afford wages.
It should say quality
why is it not sustainable if it’s from the owners? You think the owners just throw in money without thinking about whether they will be getting something back from it? Look at City and Chelsea. They made it sustainableTheir owners have been forking out of their own pockets recently but it’s not sustainable. They’re making little impression in the league and the revenues of the big 6 is getting wider every year. The gap between Arsenal and say West Ham revenues has never been wider in the history of football.
Yeah, £37m. Very strange, I’ve checked on transferleague.co.uk as well.
City and Chelsea are getting huge returns though because by winning big they’ve become global brands. Their revenues are enormous now. Like Abramovic, Mansour made a huge billion pound investment over the first few years and it’s paid off. Not sure with FFP owners can make those sorts of investments now. Villa may win nothing and just be a drain on their owners. For how long will they be willing to fork out large sums?
The Sexuals will tell you it's because he's in a weak league . . . even though he's balling against Messi, Mbappe and Neymar.

How the hell can ManU make that much money? Are they harvesting organs in Preston and selling them to Asia?Their owners have been forking out of their own pockets recently but it’s not sustainable.

What made you think that? I think the English league is the strongest in Europe bro. Big confusion here, between the English league's overall standing in Europe and competition within the English league, as the top 6 pull away from the rest in terms of revenues.Those players all play for the same team, though.
How can you be one of the main guys that calls the English league weak, but are bigging up the French one
They sold £187m's worth of Ronaldo shirts alone. Wonder what we made on Ben White shirts?
I’m sure their adidas deal alone makes them £90million a year. They’ve leveraged their position in the Premiership years and have arguably the biggest fan base in the world, so can understand why they make as much as they do.
These are the most consistently successful teams in the division. Not only that, but they boast the biggest stadiums, broadest fanbases and, as a result, the healthiest bank accounts. It’s been that way since Mansour took over City in 2008/9.
Another way of doing it...
Have to keep that money flowing! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas bro.Another way of doing it...
This Europe comparison by Arteta stans is a complete red herring. 1) It's got nothing to do with competition within the EPL and 2) as you correctly pointed out, our superiority has cycled up and down over the years.
