Be fair everyone, we've just won the Europa, so there's a winners tax added on to whatever business we have planned. It's a tough economy!

Simon Jordan made a good point. Most of Levy's wealth is tied up in the club and he treats it as such. Every decision is made to protect and increase the value of that wealth. Splurging on signings and wages is a risk to that value
I've seen some estimates saying we could be down as low as 35% investment in player salaries when the window closes. Around 15% lower than the 19th placed club in the Premier League.Son's, Reguilon's, Forster's and Werner's weekly wages are already saved. £190.000, £53.000, £75.000 and £165.000. So a saving of £483.000 pw. Kōta Takia'. Kudos, and Palhihna's wages are well covered by that.
According to those figures I reckon there's about £150.000 pw to spend on player wages to be equal with last season's wages, because Tel and Danso were already on the payroll.

In this article it seems Levy has been quoted as saying;I've seen some estimates saying we could be down as low as 35% investment in player salaries when the window closes. Around 15% lower than the 19th placed club in the Premier League.
It's absolutely scandalous
For a club that is in the top tean wealthiest clubs that is indeed truly shocking.I've seen some estimates saying we could be down as low as 35% investment in player salaries when the window closes. Around 15% lower than the 19th placed club in the Premier League.
It's absolutely scandalous
It's where we are headingWonder how sustainable Levy’s model is going to be in the Championship.
Nah there will be nothing
Nah there will be nothing
This fanbase like the team is dead
Beaten down by 25 years of the ENIC Plague
We had that kinda last season
... if its it done harder we could end up with ....
Nah, just flashes.
It will eventually. Especially if the mainstream media are all over it again.
They're basically the Glazers without the ambitionI'm struggling to see how ENIC are a step up from a psychotic oil sheik who molests camels.
One bright light from Sonny's departure is that we won't have 10k members of his Korean fan club diluting any Levy out chants within the stadium this season.
