Player Valuation: £150m
The feller is out there in the press for a reason: dampen down expectations on summer spending.The full quote:
“When Man City or Chelsea made the step up, they were less constrained by Financial Fair Play rules than we are today. This, along with the overall player wage and transfer inflation, means that the gap is even harder to bridge now, hence we have to be smarter going about it, from our academy operations to player recruitment and building the right infrastructure at the club.”
We can't go on splurges like Man City and Chelsea did because of FFP.
Building the right infrastructure at the club (stadium), will help us bridge the gap.
It is a throwaway comment that you have spun to create more negativity around the club.
Well spend big if Lukaku is sold. If not we'll spend modestly and rely on youngsters coming through...and that will on,y change after a new money spinning facility is built. THAT is what he's saying.
