Player Valuation: £100m
Well from my limited understanding it goes like this:
We have a possible "projected" surplus in the accounts of around 50m, from stuff like the tv money and other funky stuff.
FFP rules state we can spend a max of 105m over 3 years over our turnover.
Thus meaning Moshy man adds 50m to the "budget" this Summer, he could also add 50m to next Summers budget, this easily allowing us to spend 200m over 2 Summer transfer windows.
The wage budget will be reduced drastically at the end of this month and there is likely to be sales, you would imagine, meaning we "should" be able to pay the wages of the players we sign.
Thus meaning, its probably unlikely that we would sell Lukaku 65m and Stones 40m and still spend 100m, IMO, but if needed, we could in theory spend 155m NET in this window, which would be bloody stupid and highly unlikely.
Things like stadium building, training ground improvements and other non playing related things dont normally have any FFP restrictions on them.
Im sure ive made a mistake somewhere, its late and im tired, im sure somebody will be along to correct any errors, in the meantime.

The £100mil+ stories were clearly made up by the press.
However, i would be amazed if we DIDNT spend £100mil ish not including sales. Simply because a new manager will most likely have the target of champions league within 3 seasons and any top level manager would expect serious money to spend to attract them here.
Also to get the best players that costs serious money and 5 or 6 top players would easily cost that amount.
