The profit numbers would have to be so high the commercial revenues for a club like us are pretty much irrelevant. Player contracts are actually very standard in relation to weekly pay - when players get £100k contracts that is basic pay, not including bonuses. This isn't the NFL where you get front or back loaded contracts. Perhaps you can demonstrate your non-simplistic mathematics and wow us all 🤣

Basic Maths. 4 x £30m on £100k pw over 4 year contracts would cost the club: - £30m per annum in transfer fees (so £90m over a 3 year cycle) - £21m per annum in wages (£63m over a 3 year cycle) The rules are £105m loss over a 3 year cycle, so without buying anyone else we would have to make a £48m profit over those 3 years to not have an issue. This year's liability would have been an additional £51m - the 3 years up to now were allowed a loss of £83m due to a season in the Championship. Add to that new players to the tune of £80m, so let's add £20m to the fees and £20m to the wages. That would put as at £91m for THIS SEASON ALONE. I don't need a source, I only really need basic Maths.

I never said we couldn't spend more, it's more couldn't spend effectively and on what we needed ie. We couldn't buy 4 players at £30m and on £100k PW, due to PSR, which is what we needed to do.

From what I've been told this is very accurate.

Nobody's interested Dave. How about Potter? Nobody's interested Dave. Moyes? Nobody's interested Dave. Even Corberan? They are all not interested. Nobody's interested Dave.

What a shit punch.

Yes, but £35m of that was to stand still (THB and Downes). It meant our actual spending was low(ish) and also meant our wage bill couldn't increase much - we needed so many players and went quantity over quality (understandably due to the poor squad we had).

It'll be very interesting to see how much Jase did see in RM, to see if he'll at least get an interview. It could be Jase's leaving gift (for both him and us) - albeit 6 months late.

Exactly - my expectations for this season were rock bottom due to the state of the squad post relegation, and the lack of business we could do this Summer due to PSR. I'm not overly unhappy, because this is what I expected (and predicted TBF).

What if you're a cunt and a prick? Asking for a friend.

Can always rely on you 😉

It just amazes me how people can get so angry on the internet - surely a bit of perspective is needed?

Lol, yeah, about that.

He did call me one 40 minutes ago - think that makes it fair game.

Can you transfer to yourself? Not sure that's an option so you'll probably be ok.

You sound like a proper fan mate - keep it going.

Why so angry? You haters really need to calm yourselves.

It wasn't, it was FF - not everything's about you. Now why don't you put your money where your mouth is and sell your Saints tickets - I doubt the team will miss your "support".

Suspended now pending police investigation - quick reaction - well done Labour. No nonsense.

Don't bother mate - it takes a special kind of cunt to criticise someone for putting time and effort into running a charity.

The NHS needs reform for sure - but it needs to sensible and progressive - you won't fix it in one foul sweep. In my opinion it needs a full process evaluation, issue identification and root cause analysis done to identify where money can be best saved - this is both system and process improvement.

The Premier League is hardly competitive - especially when you add PSR to the mix which was brought in to quell any remaining competition.

To be fair I'd prefer you take out your anger on here rather than on anyone close to you, but I think you need to get to the root of where your anger comes from. I'm here to listen if you do want to talk.

It wasn't my word! Danjo called him bang average - talk to him.

No, average is bottom of Championship/top of League 1. He's an average football manager, he's a poor PL manager. Average also wasn't my word, it was the word of @danjosaint
