He's saying no, you don't. Not officially, but your squad will be pants if you fill it up with kids after your foreign contingent allowance is used up.
guys. 50mil.budget in cl. 50mil drop in revenue from not being in cl. let's all focus on how good Curtis Jones is and how we just saved 100mil
Same **** everytime with fsg. Cl winners, no money Record revenues, no money Prem winners, no money Cl runners up x 2, no money Tight ****s
You realise the window hasn’t opened yet so not sure can moan about us not spending any money. Maybe just wait until September and enjoy summer before we jump on the fsg wagon again
It might very well have been a case that Jude wasn't going to come to us anyway if we don't have CL football. We might have been his preferred destination if all other things were equal, but he surely wants to play at the top.
we were never anything of the sort. I bet him and trent and hendo were having lots of laughs about how stupid people were thinking it. I bet all those jokes about hey jude and such were all deliberate rubbing of noses in the Internet stupidity.
I've no doubt that he and his family were, regardless of CL football, but I think FSG thought there was some clause or something and that there'd be no bidding war (and that he'd take half the wages he'd get at City of Real).
Well all that being said if you say about last summer and saw a player taking off in terms of career but said ah no let's wait till after the world cup and that then you'd be very very foolish. his price has probably had 50mil added in 12months.
Think FSG look at situations like that and think "We could buy now for £50m and make another £50m when his value doubles in a year - or we could save £50m by waiting a year till he's too expensive for us to buy anyway". It's basically how ****ing accountants ran businesses in the recession and earned themselves bonuses.
if your club was psg and you monopolise the league then sure it makes perfect sense to keep the 50mil for yourself each year. the problem is now fsg have the oh **** moment that they've saved the 50mil and have just cost themselves at least that in revenue by not being in the cl.
