2022/23 Transfer Budget

I think it’s around 14 million in prize money in total for the Europa, but they have massive repayments and bills.

the squad is ageing and some of their most important players are entering the last year of their contacts this coming season Kent, Morelos, Aribo, Jack, Helander and they will have to replace Goldson, McGregor this summer.

They are in trouble no doubt about it.

We have another chance to strengthen from a position of strength, let’s hope the board don’t * it up.

 

Their squad is due their first ever rebuild headed by an absolute *. They've never had to do this before. They have no experience in replacing established first teamers.

I heard some pundit on SSB saying that it can be successfully done and you can be competitive, just look at what Celtic have done. The odds were heavily stacked against us this season. It wasn't easy and lightning doesn't strike twice.

The huns are * for next season.

I'm not a budget fan but I do understand the need to be financially stable. However, like you said, we are financially stable. We have the money.

* use it, Celtic.

Edit: also, they've shown they don't give a * about debt. There's only so long you can do that though.

 

I agree with this 100%...

However, because our board has ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of EVER trying to bury them, there's very real chances we won't.

Wouldn't surprise me if we spend only what we need to cover the 3 we have and then match what they spend. We have history of that. Also wouldn't surprise me if they outspend us, because they've no qualms about twisting the knife if they can.

£30M is actually an EXTREMELY reasonable spend on our part. There's all the Double money, Europe money from 3 tournaments until after Christmas, season ticket money, merchandise money, add-ons/resale monies and now the guaranteed £35+M of CL group stage. Our financial reports for these 2 years are going to be MASSIVE

 

Should be looking to invest at least half of the CL prize money in addition to CCV and Jota deals.

CB
LB
CDM
CAM
RW/LW

Those are the priority positions for me.

 

I don't really think we could 'bury them' with our budget. The market we, and they, shop it doesn't really allow for it. We just have to keep doing the right things and let them continue to operate at loss every single year, cause something will eventually need to give.

They really do need to get it right this summer, though, if those expected to leave do leave. We save for a rainy day, they spend like it'll never rain again but as long as they are getting further in debt to their directors then there's no immediate issue other than the fact other new investors wouldn't touch such an unsustainable business.

 

£14m to keep Jota, CCV and Maeda.

Maybe make £10m back for the likes of Rogic, Bitton, Barkas, Soro, Ajeti, Boli etc.

Then I reckon we spend another £8m with a few loans similar to the quality of Jota and CCV.

Leaving us about a negative £12m which would likely be our biggest loss in player trading since the Martin O’Neill days.

 

Rogic and Bitton I think have been released from their comments mutual agreement

 

If that’s the case then we’ll struggle to make £4m from the other duds.

 

Wouldn't put it passed us selling one of our assets if we get a big offer

 

Been rumours floating about for months that we would sell Juranovic if a big offer came in. Think even Fabrizio Romano was talking about clubs being interested. I know Ange rates Ralston highly so he maybe thinks we have a good enough replacement already in the time.

 

There were rumours linking him to Leicester. Never seen anywhere saying we were open to selling him though

 

I think Romano was the one who said we would want an offer of £15m to sell. Maybe I picked that up wrong.

 

Part in bold, 100% we managed to do it in 98, we had no pressure on us and everyone said they would win the 10.

This time, there was no pressure, the league was theirs (according to pundits) Ange was out by Christmas, most of the fans thought it would have been a transition year and we smashed it out the park.

Next season they have massive pressure, the pundits will still be wanking all over them for getting to the Europa league final. They will need to bounce back etc and that will be their downfall.

We need to * hammer them.

 

We got a quality rb for 2.5 M in juranovic in the European market , so sometimes it’s about the right scouting, Ange knows the Asian and Oceania market inside out and Japan , Australia n the likes are slowly becoming very decent football nation so who’s to say there isn’t a hidden gem of a left back out there, someone who can tackle with the same pace and enthusiasm as Maeda would do nicely

 

Winners get 9.7 M but dare say will be a few add ons taking it to around 15M , had Ramsay scored that they could have made over 60M with champions league, European super cup money and other add ons

 

I was talking about the total amount they have accumulated throughout the tournament via prize money not just the final.

I was reading it was around 14 million for reaching the final and being runners up.

this is not including the gate money they would have received either.

 

They made about €18m and we made €9.5m from Europe this season, both amounts before tickets etc.

 

Just seen a few more articles, do Uefa publish it, I’ve not been able to find it.
