We don't need to get to 70% but an agreed figure lower then the current one with the aim of getting to 70 within the three seasons. However paying Sancho £300k a week probably hasn't helped towards that and with Malen one of our top earners, it isn't a surprise he has been sacrificed.
Paying Sancho £300k a week definitely won’t help, but it would be pretty stupid considering we are supposed to pay him ‘only’ £160k a week.
I agree that paying Sancho £300k/week when we only have to pay him £160k/week would indeed be gross incompetence.
I do wonder though, with him being paid weekly, does he have to go to the cash desk or do they bring it round to him in a little envelope? And does he get it all as 3200 x £50 notes or do they break up some of it to tens and twenties, maybe a fiver and then five £1s so he can put them in the little slot they have on shopping trolleys? Cos it’d be a right pain in the arse if you got to the trolleys at Lidl and you only have a big pile of £50 notes … no danger of getting the cashier to break one of those for you!
Guess I’ll never understand the lives of footballers.
