People have a very limited grasp on the reality of being in the football league if they think that we can keep a player who is reported to be on 60k per week in the championship. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had to offload Lerma also to avoid failing FFP. Report the other day was that Valencia were interested in a loan but could not afford to pay his wages in full, one of the top sides in Spain cannot afford to match the wages of our CM. The money at the top level of English football is beyond absurd. If you’re wondering where the £600m+ went well that’s it, it went on paying these obscene salaries to remain competitive at the top level. People seem to think that all that money coming in must mean that the club should be financially secure and set for years to come, the reality is that all it does is massively drive up the operating costs. I have no doubt in my mind, the journey is without doubt better than the destination.
