Hopefully when PP is sorted on the ground the club announce the naming rights deal and we start getting it paid now - £20-25 million over 5-10 years with the first instalment paid in this year or next added to as you say a likely big fee for Richarlison should see us sitting pretty for next summer.
Add in Walcott, Bolasie, Besic & Sandro all off the books next summer saving us around 300k a week I think its riding out this summer and being shrewd - try get the likes of Bernard, Kenny & Davies out for some extra funds on the books!
We‘ve ploughed, 30+ million into the ground already mate, that’s all sitting in our losses at the mo - the minute PP is granted - hopefully in the Autum, we can write that off our losses. So that and the USM deal accounts for 60 mill odd of extra revenue/flexibility in losses I think we have. If we make another 40 mill in sales - there is your transfer window this year.
Next year is a different story, we are and need to reduce the wage bill, I’m not sure we actively swap around wages with new signings rather get it down permanently. Of course that has the added benefit of actually making money as a business and nit spending everything we make on wages, currently 80% of turnover.
We have decisions to make on a lot of players next year, Bernard, Tossun Gylfi and a few others who could be moved on, or given new contracts. Likely their will be a big sale, I think it will be Richarlison and that fee will be budget next year or used to make up the short fall this year.
That’s only if my read as above is correct, but that my read of the plan, this year and next.
