Would it not be commercial deals? IE Chang is up at the end of the season, and am sure there will be other commercials which will be getting negotiated to increase revenue.

I understand that commercial revenues can drive increased spending on salaries but the next target after Spurs are the lovable neighbours.

Apparently the wage bills in 2015-16 were as follows (just taken the figures from a random link so they might not be entirely accurate but give an idea of the scale):

Everton 75m
Spurs 110m
RS 152m

That means within 2 years we are faced with doubling our wages bill just to catch up with them even if they stay at the same level. The other four are another jump above (all around 200m). That is a vast amount of commercial revenue to be talking about.
 
This website http://www.financialfairplay.co.uk has a good breakdown of what all this means if people are looking for further reading on the issue

If we absolutely had to, I'm sure we could find a sponsor to re-name GP for the last couple of seasons, that would be money in the non-broadcasting revenue pot. Something catchy like The Metalloinvest Stadium, and Usmanov slides us a cool £5m a season.o_O

Honestly I'd much rather sell Stones than rename Goodison

Ah but there you're assuming wage bill = success in a sense. We don't necessarily need to reach Liverpool or Spurs wage bracket to compete with them, do we? Spurs spent £40m less last season and finished 6 places higher.

We can still bring in quality and not necessarily have to ruin our wage structure to do it.
 
I'm not assuming anything. I'm just going on what has been said about our future spending at levels which are at the top of the PL and I am wondering about how we bridge that gap, given the regulations.

I think we will see a significant increase in commercials though, i think its been universally noted that we have massively underperformed in that department and if we attract the right deal and sponsorship (which we should have been doing years ago) then these things will greatly increase.

We have missed massive tricks on everything on that side of things, i would expect to see lots of movement on this by April, i read that change have the option to negotiate the deal come December (Q4), hopefully we will have other partners at the table come then.
 
If our new owner has paid off the debts, does the that not help in our profits? So we can spend more on wages?

Don't know if this what's happened. We seem to be offering big wages anyway. Ronald is one of the best paid managers.

Ok but my question then is, do we have to?

Of course we don't, as we have proved in the past and Leicester proved this year. But then we remain plucky Everton, punching above our weight with only XX% of the wage bill of the permanent Top 4/5/6 and, equally, have problems attracting the kinds of players who would be expecting the Champions League...which is kind of a different story to the one being promoted.

I'm not saying we won't I just don't think it's quite as pressing as you think. I'm also expecting us to be able to offer the same wages as the Top 4-6 very soon on a larger scale instead of 1-2 marquee players. It will just take a bit of time to change the image of Everton and start to receive external funding the likes bigger teams see.

The wage bill is being linked to our non-broadcasting revenue, not our level of profit as such.

I understand the rationale wrt player salaries and the differences in profit on player sales between, say, a Lukaku and a Stones.

However, given that we are likely to be buying high-priced high-salaried players (if the likes of Mata or Witsel are true), we are still going to be left behind comparatively when it comes to player salaries at the top of the PL (we may be matching Spurs' total last year but everyone else is also going to be increasing their budgets).

So, with an unconfirmed stadium and any kinds of naming rights shenanigans still years away, what are the options for the immediate years following which do not involve us selling any more 'home-grown' profitable treasures? (Added: given that the new purchases are unlikely to be as profitable.)

There will be the prize money from winning the Premier League this year too...
