Sorry if already covered, but how much do we get for progressing into the top 8 of the CL...?

2.7m Euros for the win and 11m for 8th. I think it is.

€2.1m

Felix wages wont be cheap though so thats going to take a fair chunk if he comes in

Having the money in this year is a great boost and works for a 3 year rolling basis but when the measure is on a per season basis % of revenue, it’s problematic. Our cost base, wages, is fixed, but the revenues are variable. We can’t really budget on being in champions league every year and I doubt the other competitions shift the dial much.

Overall it’s got to the point where we are better on focussing on qualifying next year than progressing (from a financial perspective).

Townley reporting we have made £75m so far from the CL. Another £10m if we get through the next round.

Clearly we're still totally screwed by this bollocks as we're only looking at loans to plug the gaping holes in our squad. Fun times.

Probably, but at the same time, you aren’t going to tell all and sundry that you’ve got plenty to spend. It was only a week ago we were willing to buy Loic Bade.

[Matt C]

Yes, there’s clearly money to spend, I think the loan thing (which was also speculation) referenced Felix & Asensio.

There can be no way we are still struggling with this after the CL run and selling all of these players. I know it’s more complex than money in / out in one little time period, but still. 

[Dave P]

Also loans are easier to do in January

A certain financial football expert has said we might still be close to the limit due to our revenue/wages ratio when including CL prize money etc. I did ask if the January sales of £95M approx are an inclusion....waiting for a response.

Did anyone see the wages ratio to Revenue  on sky? We were bottom at 99% compared to spurs at 43%

Our wage bill looks out of control . Wtf is going on?

If that’s the case, I don’t see how we are in an anything other than hopeless situation. We need to get consistent CL football without spending any money. Basically, Unai has to pull off miracle after miracle otherwise there’s no point.

We need to buy more pies, and pay more for them.

Good job we're apparently about to pay 70% of Rashfords.
