City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

They're not against sponsors, they just want to protect their sponsors against conflicts. i.e. Heineken sponsoring the competition while somebody plays at the Budweiser stadium. Still doesn't work as none of the commentators or pundits play along.

Makes more sense really but still pathetic! Won't be long till the competition is like the super bowl, sponsors flying out their arses!
 
Working out the figures, does anyone know how much we can realistically spend in the summer? Is our finishing place in the league a big factor?
The media are talking about 200-300 million. I can't see that being the case.

We could spend 300m if it was necessary and the right players became available with a few offloads. It's £60m per season in capital charges (average contract length of 5 years) plus the net change to the wage bill, we're receiving that much extra on two seasons ago in tv money alone

Correct, we could easily spend 300m net if we take all the players on 5 year contracts.
 
Whilst our owner would dearly love to win the CL perhaps he is also interested in just making money like all his other investments.

I reckon we'll be allowed to self finance tbh, the city investment was always an exposure/prestige one, if he wanted to make hard cash there's easier, more effective ways.

He obviously intends to make significant amounts of money having already installed his Holding Company structure so I think you are correct. Lets hope so.
