Summer transfer window 2023

[Tony’s Carp]

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.

And yet here is one of a large number of credible reports over the last two windows linking us with loans with obligations to buy come this summer. Clearly late January we were projecting to have minimum 30m in the budget for this summer if we stayed up, because if Watford had said yes (and they should have!) we’d have spent it by now.

Everyone outside the club is guessing the budget, and no club is going to advertise what theirs is.

I don't see the point of this thread aside from documenting and venting over assets we've flogged cut price, due to Bill Kenwright deliberately steering this club into an iceberg.

Pick your favourite quote from the Kenwright era:

Watch this space.
We'll go with what we've got.

"Other clubs say, What would Everton do?"

If you were a non-blue, you would sign for all of those clubs before Everton at the moment. Dire.

Weghorst it is then lol

 

[Liam-EFC]

You just know we’re going into the Fulham game with the same squad but without Mina and Coady.

Good times, Chairman Bill

 

[RomanReigns]

dele ali up front it is then

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Wolves? Nah

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.

Or maybe Moshiri just doesn't want to spend anymore on players and says we can only spend what we bring in and reduce the wage bill to a lower % of turnover.

I will literally travel down to his office in Little Italy and custard pie him....am not even joking.

Suppose our predicament prevents us from getting overexcited by a potential bidding war and offering £65million for him.

Cov fans say they would have found it hard to refuse £20m in Jan. I really like him and do think he would fit here for a few years, but no-one should be paying £20m now with 1 year left.

Would you? Portugal is a mediocre league and of the English teams you’d probably choose West Ham due to having Europe but they will have multiple options, and there’s not much between the others really. But beyond one of us, Fulham or Wolves could be in trouble next season and we could offer regular football (would he want to be second fiddle to Mitro?) with the mid term prospect of playing at an amazing new stadium etc. A couple of crap years doesn’t mean we aren’t a big club.

I fear that another summer of inertia will surely bring the fans to near riot levels of discontent. There's only so much a fanbase can take I'm afraid.
