FrankieADZ Posted 18 January 2023 Posted 18 January 2023 yeah but we spunked money on the likes of Vestergaard etc

Should we have?
TJQuik Posted 18 January 2023 Posted 18 January 2023 The only better free kick than that I can think of is the classic Roberto Carlos one.

OntarioFox Posted 19 January 2023 Posted 19 January 2023 Another point gained by a relegation rival. Oops. I'm mentally prepared for Plymouth and Rotherham away next year. 1
Tom12345 Posted 19 January 2023 Posted 19 January 2023 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64314328.amp Can’t believe, based on the above, Leicester is bigger than Everton and Newcastle. Aston Villa is not even in the list.
Sly Posted 19 January 2023 Posted 19 January 2023 https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/pages/sports-business-group/articles/deloitte-football-money-league.html Here’s the report. We are 17th in the world now. We are not a small club. We are just a baby shark, in shark infested waters. 8th in the Premier League. 17th in the world. The Premier League is, and will continue to be the Super League. 1

Speaks volumes I was getting messaged by a saints fan laughing his head off at us for taking him let alone spending what we did.

AjcW Posted 19 January 2023 Posted 19 January 2023 I like the way Danny Ings goes about his business Didn't his move to Villa come out of absolutely nowhere? Anyway he's just gone to West Ham for £15m without a whisper about it
Leicesterpool Posted 19 January 2023 Posted 19 January 2023 Good bit of business for West Ham United, they've been demanding for a striker for years. Strange Villa have let him go considering he was starting to find form at Villa. 2

Leicester are one of the richest clubs on the planet, so why's there lots of talk about you needing to reduce your wage bill or sell your stars?

Stadt Posted 19 January 2023 Posted 19 January 2023 Just now, TheFish said: Deloitte says your revenue is beaten by only 16 teams. That's pretty, pretty rich. We have an expenditure problem not an income problem. Our wage to turnover ratio for last year's accounts was 86% IIRC. We're overpaying squad players we can't shift. The average wage is somewhere around the £80k p/w mark, lots of our players don't even pay 10% of available minutes too.

Hopefully we'll be able to get a few players off our books by writing off their contracts. But we've got a lot of stodge, sounds like we're sending Wood to Forest with an option/obligation to buy. But we've still got players like Ryan Fraser, Karl Darlow, etc.

Sorry, I thought it was on the link you provided but that's just revenue. We've made that money and we're in a relegation battle, what a joke.
