Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 I refuse to believe that Hamza is on a decent wedge at Leicester. Has he had a major contract increase since coming through the academy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Haven't we just carved off a massive wage outlay? Atsu, Carroll, Lejeune, Muto, Saivet. All of them on north of £30k, right? Lets be conservative and say £100k a week off the wage bill. There's no way Choudhury is on anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 On signing Willock... Bruce said: “We went above and beyond. It has been difficult for clubs in terms of money and fair play to Lee. We got there. Our patience and doggedness was key... we never left it alone. Difficult with having made roughly 140 million since the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33196 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Can't remember Mourinho or Guardiola praising their owners to the hilt every time they make a signing? Must just be the Grimer Wormtongue class of manager who does it like Pardew and Bruce? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Willock is an installment deal to be paid over 3 years iirc, so factoring in the sales we had as well as 40% of Armstrong’s iirc £25m fee (well £23m profit if you take out the £2m Blackburn paid us for him originally) we basically turned a profit in the window. Aye and we also got around £200k a week off the book in wages . They have absolutely fucking zero excuses other than wanting to chance survival for as little as possible, and having absolute idiots running both the football and non football sides. Not sure where the pundits are on this but are we allowed to complain about Ashley yet? And if so is that only to take pressure and responsibility from their darling Bruce? I will gladly fucking slate both of them. Edited September 1, 2021 by Howay 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 3 hours ago, trooper said: 9.6 million off the wage bill with outgoing players. 40% off the sell on fee for Armstrong (6 million) Then 126 million prize money for last seasons 13th place finish in the Premiership.Roughly 141 million, minus 25 million for Willock. Gives a profit of just over 115 million. It's not profit though. That money goes towards player wages, operating costs etc The wage bill was £121mil for the last set of figures released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35079 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 This ‘above and beyond’ patter. I like Willock and I’m pleased we’ve gotten him but we’re talking about a player we already had on loan previously, who wasn’t wanted by his club, was available for a reasonable fee (by PL standards) and who there didn’t seem to be any other takers for, for whatever reasons. I can’t imagine the wages were a huge issue either. That’s about as straightforward as it gets 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even get why they bother, we know they don’t give a flying fuck so why do they occasionally randomly trot out some excuse?

ewerk 30610 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 ‘Look lads, we’d love to have spent more but the squad was so shite that we couldn’t get a single penny for any of the 18 players who left’. How can they claim that their past frugal approach was correct and has allowed them more flexibility in future windows yet the extent of that flexibility was one £20m signing and not enough for even a single loan signing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
