I wish I could find a report that shows our annual prize money we have earns every season since the takeover and match it against our net transfer spend.
My prediction is there wouldn’t be a lot in it. If such a report could be generated it might shut a few anti City supporters up.

Highly doubtful, mate.

It was never eight.

United Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea Spurs Leicester Newcastle Wolves Burnley

The Spiteful Nine

‘Nefarious Nine’ is surely better from an alliteration perspective…

Has this not been going for years…
Why are they only now appointing subject matter experts
Who the fuck has been running it til now

Exactly. But suppose for one moment it was true. Subject matter experts give opinion evidence not factual evidence and, as we know, opinions are like arseholes. So a) it would be interesting to know what they were opining on and b) we'll have a team of better experts giving the opposite opinion.

I wonder if Nick Harris has volunteered his "expert" services.

They would have been appointed in the early stages to help assess if there was a case to answer. The story is total bollocks.

Pep needed to get that off his chest after a tough week. So so lucky to have this man in charge. A genuine rebel was needed to navigate the made up financial lies. The fact he stands up for our club against the onslaught is admirable and will never be forgotten.

The plan put in place by Khaldoon to bring Pep in to take over was a masterstroke.

Not sure what that would prove to be honest.

Think of it like this. We get cash from TV prize money, matchday revenue and commercial income, plus what we get from player sales. Then we spend that on wages, operating and other costs. What cash we've got left is available to reinvest in the squad. The question then is, how much do we reinvest?

I've got some figures but need to rejig them slightly. But what they'll show is that we reinvest virtually all our spare cash in players, whereas Liverpool only reinvest around 80%.

Spurs' model seems to involve only spending on new players what they get from player sales so a lot of their spare cash isn't invested in their squad. I have a theory that they refused to sell Kane as they'd then have to spend all that money on new players, and Levy didn't want to do that. It'd be like when we sold SWP to Chelsea for £21m and bought Samaras for £5m.
