No it’s not comparable, will be 20% lower this season (revenue). The rebuild needs to be funded elsewhere
We may have had a long-standing interest in David, but we're playing a completely different style now. If he fits it, great. But I wouldn't put anything into the fact we were interested in him in the past.another quite day, so as always he's some fresh inside scoops from the always reliable ITKS.
From COYS (Prof). I know some of you love a cryptic!
For those who like such things, a cryptic from Galahad:
"Hefty bid made for Jonathon David
Non-cryptic from another source: "Still plugging away to strengthen the CB position. Aim is to get in one more; possibly two if we can shift Sanchez or Dier."
And one more: "Would like both a winger and a striker, however the former is considered a higher priority. Although we continue to work on it, our top target on the winger list looks like he's going elsewhere. #2 has a release clause above our ceiling valuation. So we're moving forward with options #1 and #3 in parallel. All of them Ange-approved."

We've had a longstanding interest in David so doesn't surprise me one bit if we've put a big bid in for him.
IIRC in cash terms I think our accounts showed a loss for the year last time they were publish.... One would assume/hope that our ops aren't as rigid as above from year to year..... BUT our accounts also showed that in term of player purchase installments owed; it's a rising % of the yearly profit+sales total.
Possibly the key cause of that phenomena is that sales income has been pretty shit for some time now (which is of course the 2nd phase of pain caused by a succession of shit signings.)
Said that earlier this morning... Looks like 4/5ths of the same job to me.
Because he's better and more adjusted to football in Europe.
I'm not saying he is btw but just saying if they see him as ready it will be be because they think he's better atm.
You realise Woolwich were spending 180-200m net even without European football to try and chase it?
It's very comparable.
I'm sure they're absolutely desperate for it. Maybe their clubs could offer more than 15m rather than inventing stories.
He's not had a single competitive minute on the pitch. Says a lot.
We should just fuck them off if theres no concrete offers going into last few days of window. Problem is they're on big wages.
Look, personally I don't give a fuck if they want to replace GLC with another creative CM to add depth behind Maddison.
I don't see that being possible this late in the window though.
The owners self-funded that spend?
If so, you will never see that from ENIC/Levy.
Daniel Defoe, great for playing on Fridays.
As far as I'm aware they've put little to none of their own money in to the club.
I just gave you the ACTUAL average since then (note fiures are in Euro's so you can knock off a futher 15% for sterling value).
I appreciate the "guess" factor.... I concede myself that I don't know what it should be, but I reiterate in the past 4 years, the clubs in our income bracket are spending significantly less than £150m.......
Frustrating to not know isn't it, but that's the nature of the beast... Clubs would be foolish to publically announce their trf budgets in advance..

That's no secret, that's £0
There was that fabled £150 million cash injection a couple of years ago, but I’m not sure how much was every actually used.
Were or are?
Arse (m/euros):
22/23 in 192.3 out 23.8 = 168.5m
21/22 in 167.40 out 31.4 = 136.0m
20/21 in 86 out 19.1 = 66.9m
19/20 in 160.8 out 53.6 = 107.2m
= €478.6m (net spend) / Avg per season = €119.65m
This summer: Subject to further sales; they're currently at €200m (n)......... £170m sterling.

I think with the money we are willing to spend, he would be somewhere around our limit give or take.
We are never going to be in the market for say, a Kane or a Haaland, so this is the next level down and makes sense.
My only concern is, will this be linked to players going out, because we seem to be struggling to offload.
I really hope that, levy backs this manager this window with a couple more, I think he could really be starting something, but let's not get excited.
It was a placebo injection
