I’ll commend you on your working out and I suspect that’s why we’ve had kids out on loan and sold a couple of youngsters. Also , and this a compliment, you seem knowledgeable and very reasoned . I think I’ll maybe take some convincing we’ll break even this year . I appreciate we’ve shifted players but our wages are a huge part of our turnover and not matched by match day income not to mention sponsorship issues .
Next year If we lose a £100m and claw back a £100m which frankly I think you’re far too ambitious, but I’ll take your figures . Maupay on say what £50k , McNeill £70 , tarkowski £90k , Iwobi £100k , gueye £120 k and plenty more . Those wages aren’t sustainable but very likely nobody will buy them so we’ll end up giving them away or loaning them and paying half the wages to cut costs . All these players then have to be replaced , to give us any chance of promotion or being in contention . Look at Burnley , since we have their manager , it’s not a coincidence they loaned out their own big earner on the huge sum of £45k.
Even on your scenario I think we’d see a team potentially made up of youngsters, and ours aren’t good enough to have any chance of compliance and I think even then we’d be missing it .
Firstly I hope it doesn’t come to pass , secondly I hope you’re right if I does but I think relegation gives us a real chance of oblivion
