I mean, surely that's just an ongoing task for any business, reduce wastage and increase efficiencies.

Need to increase taxes, put up that top rate of tax to 47%, let's work a feasible wealth tax (as that money can't be moved) and increase personal NI back to previous levels. Alongside this let's rework that welfare bill to be fairer, remove the ability to purchase property within the UK from overseas, subsidise and increase the number of council houses built to allow for private rents to decrease and an increase in house availability for the average Joe. Alongside this a top down look at the NHS and Care system, as well as having a National Care Service to allow for less beds in hospitals to be taken up. And lastly, increase the number of years you have to stay abroad to be able to bring income back untaxed. If they want to leave, they leave for a long time.

So done a comparison where I can to players in FM24...FM24 numbers first, then capology numbers: KWP - 36 v 20 Bednarek - 36 v 70 (but new contract was signed after this so likely to have gone up) Sulemana - 30 v 40 Bree - 18 v 10 Smallbone - 24 v 25 Larios - 18 v 15 Lumley - 10 v 10 SAA - £220 v 5 (but pro contract signed after this, so likely to have gone up) Even without the new contracts, the comparison is: FM: £172k Capology: £195k Looks pretty close to me @Matthew Le God

It's fine, be interesting to see what FM has them down as...

Ok, what are your figures then?

No, they are the total contractual figures. Don't have any knowledge of new players, but as a lot have come from Europe I would expect low wages.

Why do you say that - he came after multiple loans at a quite young age and never signed a new contract here?

So been looking at Capology in relation to the players that have gone this Summer - although Capology is not amazing, it's an indication of the wages involved. Ramsdale - £120k (£6.24m) Lumley - £10k (£520k) Walker-Peters - £20k (£1.04m) Sugawara - £40k (£2.08m) Bree - £10k (£520k) Bednarek - £70k (£3.64m) Bella-Kotchap - £15k (£780k) Kayi Sanda - £8k (£416k) Taylor - £30k (£1.56m) Larios - £15k (£780k) Ugochukwu - £45k (£2.34m) Smallbone - £25k (£1.3m) Fernandes - £20k (£1.04m) Lallana - £45k (£2.34m) Gronbaek - £18k (£936k) Amo-Ameyaw - £5k (£260k) Dibling - £5k (£260k) Sulemana - £40k (£2.08m) Brereton Diaz - £35k (£1.82m) Onuachu - £30k (£1.56m) This comes to the following saved: £606k PW £31.5m PA If we can then shift the following: 21. Aribo - £70k (£3.64m) 22. Edozie - £15k (£780k) £691k PW £36m PA That, is frankly mental.

What do you want, a medal? 🏅 I went to Tenerife, you went to Elevenerife.

Absolutely - whoever came up with that got to go home early...

"Dan's Pet Rescue" That wins the internet for tonight.

Our media team do make me chuckle.

Edit. Misread the post.

Exactly, unsure why people still don't understand how the world works.

That is mental.

True!

I wouldn't - I lived in Lyon for 18 months as well.

He does have to be around English people though - that's where I'd start when choosing.

Exactly. This also isn't us loaning in essential players, like we did in the previous season.

We'd have purchased if it was purely an upgrade. He may end up being better, but don't think this is a long term target, more a "he'll do" situation.

He's out at least a couple of months, ankle injury, according to Still.

I said "unless we're desperate". The Wellington injury, now we know the extent, and with a couple of days left of the window, can be classed under this, don't you think?

Unless desperate. As said, many times.

Mate, man up. You're such moaning pussy.

Mate, don't bother, he's embarrassed himself over and over these last few months. I cringe every time he posts. He needs to change his logon as he has literally no respect on here now.
