I think that whatever happens we will be competitive next season, we've just missed capitalising on the massive advantage we've had for these past two seasons.

Quote from: SoccerHQ on May 29, 2018, 10:38:31 AMAccording to one of the papers yesterday Jedinak is on 45k a week and Lansbury 35k a week.If Henri can somehow wrangle 35k a week when I don't think he's played a single minute of premier league football in his career then I imagine Hourihane wouldn't be far off that. If he isn't he needs to sack his agent.Then you factor in players dropping down from the prem like AEM and Whelan.As much as I'm trying to put a better spin on things we are in a bit of a hole with yet again the wage bill compared to what we're turning over. We're paying our squad players not far off what the squad players at Spurs are getting.Either we let Steve Bruce get on with it to sort out his own mess of putting together an ageing expensive squad or we gave that as the main reason for mutually consenting his deal.Of course that will have to be another manager we pay off so would that go against us on FFP?How the hell did we end up paying those wages , its not like we were in competition with other teams for them ..Jedinek I can excuse a little as at least he was dropping down a league but Lanbury really FFS

Lansbury and hourihane were coming to the end of their contracts so were well placed to negotiate big deals I think Ads' maths above was a little reasuring. Let's say we do need 40:C 12 less in wages from those leaving, factoring in win and goal bonuses C 8 from Amavi C 1 from GilC 3 from sell on fees for veretout and Adama (complete guess,)C 3 from other non playing sales C 3 from Recon sponsoring BMHTheres a lot of guesswork there. But that would be 30 or soSo we need 10 more, but have to factor in the need for some more players (keeper, CB) and amortisation So would need to sell more than £10m worth of players. But perhaps would be possible to sell, say adomah, hourihane and Hogan?

One measly win against bloody Fulham and we wouldn't be having to worry about any of this crap. Ffs.
