I’m something of a glass half full person so not that confident of overturning the ban. Would it be the disaster some of the press are predicting?
Or just a blip?
How would we cope with loss of £100m pa + of CL income plus other income and still be able to meet FFP requirements in 3 years time?
If, for example, we have to sell Sterling, KDB and Sané for say £300m combined would that be enough to cover FFP losses whilst we’re out of the CL?
if we sell those three and Aguero, Silva and Fernandinho also leave, how much would we cut the wage bill by? How much scope would we have to replace them, assuming we might try to manage with a smaller squad in the absence of Cl football?
if the objective is merely to ensure we qualify for the CL in 22/23 without FFP hanging over us, could we put together a squad capable of doing that?
