We've spunked that on some right old shit.
All that, but didn't try to execute the Silva deal until the Drinkwater money was confirmed
What a feckin' useless shower of complete fecktards
I think that was down to FFP - if we signed Silva without selling as well there is no way we would have met FFP.
Yeah, this; the FFP explanation is nonsense.That's £73m from the Champions League and £116m from the Premier League for last season.
So, £189m before tickets, sponsorship, etc. And we made operating profits of £26m and £16m in our two previous Premier League seasons.
Our latest published wage bill was £80m (title winning year, including some big contract hikes). I imagine that it's around £100m now.
Surely we're absolutely minted? Our net spend in the summer was only £25-£30m.
