If fernandez gets done its £550m spent in 22/23With the way the contracts are set up, I read somewhere that selling Gallagher alone for 45m pounds would offset our entire spend for 2023.
£250m in the summer on ave 6y contract (£42m amort cost in 22/23)
£300m in the winter on ave 7y contract (£21m amort cost in 22/23)
Sell gallagher for £40m and thats straight profit so only a net £20m cost
Kicker is the wages of the extra 15 players on the payroll at ave. £150k pw = £80m+ cost. Will do well to get that covered on top of what was being paid out last year.
Assume the ability to pay the cash is because boehly got external funding for the buyout so got that £1.75bn to burn?
Did he put that on the club or is that his personal debt? Someone will have to pay that back!
