Chelsea would suit us the most imo. quite strong semifinal set up anyway, possibly 4x teams of last season top5 in PL.
Arteta has a way of shitting on domestic cups to save energy so not impossible he fields a very weakened side vs Palace, btw why is that one single game next week?
report says employee costs total of 408M thats for almost 700 employees including 1st team squad which is responsible for the bulk of it I assume. bit less than previous year 412m.
having said that we took off significant salaries off the list this summer with Grealish, KDB, Gundo, Ederson...
good question as that was supposed to offset lot of the money we missed out on due to bit worse PL result and the early CL failure. the income from CWC has to be in either this report or the next one. I recall around 40m gbp just for those few CWC games. Chelsea maxed it out with a much higher sum.
you can be sure this panel aint working on the 24th of Dec let alone any of next week. add in early January break over in Maldives.
if this is not out next 4 days it wont be out this year.
or ever at all. :)
international break in March looks like a good time. hahaha
