Over 90% of our income has been going on wages, no player at this club should be on £100k+ per week, not Pickford, not Doucoure, not any of them. It's too much. Getting rid of Gomes and Dele will help but we have to get a grip on contracts and wages, we have given money away for nothing the last few years.

That's fine in a vacuum, but that's not realistic. Certainly Pickford should be or he wouldn't be here. The average salary for a first team PL player is 60-70k per week depending on the source. It's higher for a starter, it's higher for a good starter...

The issue isn't giving good players 100k/week, it's giving a bunch of bad players 100k/week.

Yeah that figure is hugely inflated by the top 6 paying players £300k a week. What’s the average for teams outside of the top 6? I’d like to see which players outside of the top 6 are earning over £100k per week, I bet there’s about 10 maximum. 5 or 6 of those have probably been ours.

That's the going rate for good players. If you want good players, that's what you pay. Paying Pickford that wage has helped keep us in the Premier League, the value far exceeds the cost.

Again, the issue is giving that to bad players. Which is mostly what we've done (and continue to do with Doucoure).

Quite a bit on the interweb about them working together.

It does seem to be all the same names interlinked. Najafi has invested jointly with 777 in the past.

“STX Entertainment, the Robert Simonds-founded film and TV studio that once hoped to compete with Hollywood majors by focusing on mid-budget, talent-driven projects, has found another buyer in an investor consortium led by Najafi Companies. Investment firms AS Birch Grove LP and 777 Partners joined in financing the deal, which was unveiled Friday.”

We should ring AS Birch Grove LLP see if they fancy lobbing £150m down the drain. Everyone else has.
