People keep saying this. They have ran from the mbuemo deal cos he wavts 250k, thats what these players want and if you are in the champions league then expect to pay it. Even more so when you’re wanting to tell every man and his dog you're the richest team in the world.
They are owned by an investment fund, they have to make money as a club. They seem to miss this point
This is what I said to a couple of them I know. If they build this new stadium, expect another canny price hike.
I can't believe they didn't realize that they can't just spend what the hell they like, on whoever they want. Or that other clubs would demand a higher fee knowing that their owners had limitless cash. No opposition club wants someone to come in and bully their way to the top at their expense. Someone at work said they should just spend whatever and take the fine or points deduction!
