Going on that basis then. The Barkley & lukaku transfers will add to the pot.
And you are totally out of touch with modern transfer fees, If you think he will
go for 30mil.

...which proved catastrophic, didn't it?
Dont blame the fans for a decision the carpet bagger is there to get right.

I'm thinking it will prove hard to cut the wage bill and move up the league regardless of who DoF or manager is ...

It's simple in theory.
Get the squad size down to 23 whilst maintaining the right balance in terms of age, experience, and positional cover.
Not an easy task given the very lopsided squad that they inherit.
We would lose 10 players in net terms but getting decent offers from other clubs, and getting players on contracts to accept those offers, will prove to be difficult in some cases.
There is a lot of work to be done and I think it will take about three years as I see it, the typical length of a managers contract, to see some results. There will be a lot of teething problems to be expected too.
I can't see us spending big, I think the focus will shift to signing younger and more adaptable players, and players from less expensive markets, supplemented with the odd more flashy signing here and there.
Personally I am concerned about the liberal spending, we all want money invested in the team but not if it comes at the cost of making the club less stable financially in the long-term. We have to be disciplined, with excellent scouting and analysis. Buy low and sell high, use the loan market, be as creative as we can be. That is the challenge for Brands in essence.

He`s still dressed like a Greek Widow, after the departure of Martinez.
Please don`t get him going again lol

It's a pretty well established iron law of the PL: those that pay the bigger wages finish higher generally speaking.

by cutting our huge wage bill (that got us 8th) do you expect to see a drop down the table then ?
or is Brands expected to work wonders?
Dave they have just won the title, so all the players he signed in the last 3 years have been a success.....................................
Dave, we need to maintain our wage bill, we arent shipping players to prune THE COST of the wage bill.
Educate yourself on how STCC works.
Players will be sold to FREE UP WAGES to offer the bigger players the bigger wages.
Theres no difference between his work at PSV and his work here, apart from here he will be dealing in bigger fees.
Not all people even billionaires, have the benefits of your hindsight Dave
and I never saw that many Evertonians complaining when we bought players left, right and centre last year, did you ?
Haha

A good manager will keep us there or thereabouts - the league is that bad. But Europe is the objective in the next two seasons and it'd be difficult reaching top 6 whilst reducing wages, actually or relatively.

Spurs still remain the model for us to follow.
They have bought a lot of what turned out to be excellent signings for relatively modest fees, players that either have remained mainstays of the squad under Pochettino or sold for decent profit.
That's not easy to replicate, but they have achieved their success without a huge spend.
It's possible, but the right people have to be in place with the right structure. Spurs experimented mostly through trial and error before hitting on a winning formula, at least in financial terms.
We could also do with DBB and Ryazantsev finally getting to grips with the commercial operation, we'll need every penny we get.

You're so naive. You think cash saved on the wages of players getting shipped out will go straight back in the pot to spread around a reduced number of higher quality players?
It's a theory I suppose. I doubt very much it would become practice.
I mean this tweet by Esk highlights what ive been saying.
Ive just done the math, the above players are costing us 790k a week in wages, 41m per year, thats a quarter of our wage bill.
Moshiri spoke of 1 window to establish ourselves, thats what he meant, use the Lukaku sale to bump up our wage bill, which allows us to increase it from the 85m last year to the 120m this year. So now we can ship out some players, free up wages and offer the BALLERS all the dough.
Its cashflow 101 in the Premier League era.

As far as I know though there is a steep hierarchy there in terms of wages at Spurs: first teamers ranging from 30/40 grand pw up to 100k pw. Everyone wants to do better to stay in the team and boost their wages, and the revenue can handle that. It seems like we'll be asking players to keep wage discipline but with no room for the best to boost their earnings. If you place a ceiling on total wages then that can be the source of problems and the sale of your better players.
