It seems strange to deny that inflation can happen differently in different industries. Obviously if TV money, sponsorships and gate receipts increase, that has more of an impact on what £10m buys you than the price of a basket of shopping down your local supermarket. If clubs are earning 10 times what they did 20 years ago, you'd expect to pay 10 times the price on transfer fees and wages.
I merely asked the question about inflation, because clearly the BoE saw it differently. I was asking for the metric being used, and that brought the knives out for a few posters.
I didn’t commit any error, nor did I get an explanation of a metric, only the much loved “Fuck off, you’re a twat!” response, which seems to be where we (and society) are today.
Much good may it do us.
I had, and still have, no desire for conflict, but when someone tells me A is now B “due to inflation,” I expect an explanation how £1.5M turned into £100M when I font see a metric that provides it, and the global definition of the word doesn’t provide the suitable math.
I also showed where I got my numbers, then get lectures on how I’m an idiot for thinking things I don’t think from numpties who think they can follow me around and try to nail me to the wall?!
It’s a parody of a forum when we get there!
One person said it’s based on turnover. That’s not a ridiculous notion, but it came without any explanation of how turnover increased 50%, so our record transfer fee can move up 50%.
Looks like he’s coming, and NO ONE on here has any control or say on the fee. That doesn’t preclude a discussion of opinions on the fee…or does it?! Seems it’s the latter, and if you’re not part of the herd, then fuck off.
Great discussion.
