The grass may not be greener on the other side.
But it has an equal, if not higher chance of being greener.
25 years of mediocrity, No other owners have lasted this long and some have done more.
Where are you getting £22.5m from?
Sacked in the toilet you're getting sacked in the toilet sacked in the toilet!!
Ignore me lol.
I banged out 375 x 12 x 5 rather than 375 x 52 x 12
You mean 375000 x 52 x 5 (for a five year deal) = 97.5m + £50m signing on free = 147.5m.
Unless my numbers are off?
It’s the only game being played on New Year’s Day.
Of course it will change. Could it get worse ? Yeah it could , but it could get a hell of a lot better aswell. And if you are right and nothing changes, then we’ve lost nothing have we .
I think most fans just want owners that are going to make the team the priority. Go that extra yard to get the manager the player that he actually wants rather than giving him a third or 4th choice. An owner that will inject some enthusiasm and energy into the club. It doesn’t have to even be about money. Just someone that actually gives off the vibe that they care , can blow away a dark cloud over a club. And boy is th cloud dark over this club
I've been up since 4.45amEven better: 375 x 52 x 5
(£97.5m)
I can barely type let alone think
Well Haaland as you say has/will cost City far more than Solanke cost Spurs.
Same goes for so many of the players our rivals sign for "similar" fees and the real reason I fucking hate people citing the net spend chart as a reason we do spend.
Arseholes up the road spend around £60,000,000 a year more than us on wages.
Who cares if we spent £5m more than them one summer on fees. (I made that up, I don't know if we did or by how much)
Yeah the wages need to be taken into consideration for each player when making an assessment for overall spends. Not just the sign on free.
Lol - mate if we were spending 30m a year in wages on Jesus & Havertz people would be puking themselves into a coma.
There is a lot that has to be taken into consideration -
You have to go look at the individual amounts for each player and how long they have been at the club -
So lets look at Liverpool, which i think is a comparable team in terms of average wages for players when they sign right now - they are reportedly spending around 14 million more on their squad than we are a year. 30 million a year on Salah and VDV who are being rewarded for their loyalty and to keep them there for as long as they have.
They don't sign players for anywhere near that value - Diaz is on around 60k a week for example. Archie Gray is on more.
So when Salah and VDV leave they are not going to be paying 250k-350k a week for new players - they never have done and there is no reason to think they will.... so if they were even to bring in two replacements for 150k a week each they would have the same wage bill pretty much as us.
I think Son is on £190,000 pw. I doubt we'll be spending that on a replacement when he leaves.
Richarlison and Solanke are on about £90,000 pw, which I assume is what we'll pay for a new attacker as in someone that is already established in the game that our leaders think is good. I doubt we'd pay £150.000 per week for a new player, as you stated for Liverpool.
