I've posted this in other threads and its quite simple math. Ill do it briefly again here, because I cant figure out how your figuring we DONT have 50m to spend. It also doesn't seem like you don't know that either. If you aren't willing to do the math that's fine, but contending with my math then doesn't make too much sense to me.

A. Under FFP the club can lose 105m over 3 seasons. We know B. The losses in the years ending in 20 and 21 were much higher because we can literally see the accounts from the club. We know C. according the PL as of last season we were just under 105m over 3 seasons. D. Therefore at a minimum we can ALWAYS spend the same amount as the season that just dropped off. Which in this case was a big one. One that was OVER half of our losses over 3 years. E. Half of 105m is at least 50m.

F. In reality, for FFP, we can actually lose about 80 million without selling a player, but Im being extremely conservative with my numbers here. for the sake of making a solid argument. FFP is no longer an obstacle to this teams spending, nor was it last season. Instead its the regular financial profit and loss books of the owner, as allowed FFP losses are in fact, losses. Even though they are allowed.

I’ve been saying this a lot too. FFP isn’t the limiting factor it was because 22/23 massively improves on 18/19. In fact it might be a convenient excuse to hide behind. The limiting factor if there is one is simple cash flow and whether money is being diverted from the football budget to pay the builders. Hopefully investment will be concluded and will clarify things.
 
We are clearly going to be sell to buy.
We will line up about £70m of purchases. Probs get about 4-5 players with that, and then sell Onana and maybe a few fringe players.
 
Rafael at Celta Vigo being linked with Andre Gomes, probably only on loan, would imagine he would jump at the chance to go back to spain, he probably played his best football there.

But our current 3 year rolling loses were 380million in our latest accounts.

Before allowed deductions including Covid. And no matter what anyone thinks of them the PL accepted them and deemed us FFP compliant in previous seasons. So we just need to keep improving on the (post-deduction) figures from the bad seasons as they drop off.

Maths. And I maybe wrong but...£430million losses over 5 years.

Last 3 years
£139mill loss (2019/20)
£121mill loss (2020/21)
£43mill loss (2021/22)

No matter how you add player sales into the equation we're still gonna be crawling towards £105mill rolling 3 year losses.

Take into consideration the Gordon sale clearing last year's loss. Puts us at zero. We ain't then got £50mill net to spend, hence why we need to sell to buy. While there's drop of £70odd mill from the previous year...it's still not enough for us to have "net" spends that high. Maybe £50mill spread over the next couple of years.

At a push for next season you'll be lucky to see a small net spend.

Every financial expert says we need to sell to buy.
