The Fish 12581 Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 29 minutes ago, Gemmill said: They've got senior pros training with their development group. It's disgraceful really. And the wages must be absolutely killing them. I hope the window closes with a bunch of them still there causing ructions. Well, according to Capology (which I don't take as gospel by any means), they're spending at least £200m on wages a year. Their commercial revenue is around £210m, total revenue around £500m. So they're spending 40% of their revenue on wages alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 11896 Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 40% would be quite healthy actually considering the recommended wages to turnover ratios of below 70% tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make money from selling players, they pull in enough money from commercial deals, selling themselves hotels and car parks and all that. In terms of PSR I think they're fine. Which is, in and of itself, a damning indictment of the PSR regulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes me think they aren't going to let him go on the cheap. They've got Sterling, Kepa, Lukaku, Gallagher, Chilwell, Chaloba and Broja all leaving or left to plug the PSR hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it includes the entire club’s wages but the first team will make up the vast majority. It’ll also include the money paid for Potter and also to sack him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the point I was trying to get at. Surely the RW Downie was teasing us with last night is Madueke and a similar deal we got with Hall last season. He's the one that ticks all the boxes and makes the most sense from a PSR perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
