Total incomings under Moshiri 178m

So thats all business done under Moshiri - the statement of spending 2 pound for every one brought in by sales should in fact have been we have been spending 1.29 pound for every 1 pound brought in by sales.

OFC - if you wanted to try to spin it, you could include money spent (although the way it was phrased was in terms of the squad etc) on managers - so that would be under Moshiri - 11m in compensation to sack Martinez, 5m in compensation to Saints for Koeman - then a 10m payoff to sack Koeman, and then a 2m payoff to palace to hire Allardyce so a further 28m spent on managers over 2 years in just terms of compensation packages etc. factoring in that would bring the ratio to 1.45 pound to 1 pound. (258.6m compared to 178m)

To get the figure and ratio closer to the way Elstone portrayed it to be you would have to start getting very creative in what was included and what wasn't included, for example - any addons on players sold - NOT included, any addons on players bought - included.

So Lukaku form example stays at the flat fee of 75m - despite 15m further being in addons, Rooney for example was estimated to have cost 10m as part of the Lukaku transfer - so we would add that 10m into the players bought, but not factor it into Lukakus sale price. Tosun would go from the flat agreed fee of below 20m up to the maximum fee with addons of 25m say... same with Bolasie - from the 20m fee to the maximum we will pay which is 27m, similarly you have 4m in addons attached to Schnedierlins transfer, Onyekuru goes to 10m, Lookman 12m etc etc. Include all loan fees paid for players - but not include any received etc, also then knock off the stones sell on we had to give Barnsley - which in reality should classify as both incoming and outgoing and thus balance - but if you are being creative you could use it twice, by saying we paid Barnsley the 7m sell on fee, and then wiping that off the incoming fees also

so you would be able to (by being creative with accounts) add on another 42m to the incomings spent and knock off 7m from the players incomings.

That would move the ratio to more like 300m spent, and 170m recieved, which then moves the ratio to a massive 1.77 spent per 1 received.

So even being massively creative with the way you record sales and using different criteria for spend, you still can't get even close to those figures Elstone quoted, effectively he outright lied to the AGM, the only thing which would even semi move (and i believe he did) would be to knock off all loyalty bonuses paid to players sold from the incoming fees received, to add on all agent fees and signing bonuses for players onto the costs of players bought.
Nice post except that 2 pound for every 1 was over a 4 year period. So before Moshiri came
