Real spending aint that bad if they got these 5 players for 5 year contract thats its only an extra 50m expense this season for the transfer fees.
They also sold CR last season for a great fee they made nice profit on his amortisation fee which at that points must have been low having been there for 9 seasons.
Salaries could be an issue but again letting CR go last season alone covers probably Mendy, Militao, Jovic and Rodrigo salary alltogether. While Hazard's salary will be offset with selling james Rodriguez and finally offload Bale and soon they will replace Modric too and they still plan t sell 3-4 other players from the squad or the ones out on loan.
Thed did spend big but its imo not something that would cause them any real FFP problems as long as they get rid of the players they dont need like Bale. And they mae their squad much younger building for the future.
Imagine if we got Kun in 2011 for 35m and now this summer a bid would come in for him for 150m pounds. That would be probably 150m profit straight on our accounts.
You now the cost of one player on 5 year contract if its a high profile player lets say 100m fee and 300kk salary per week plus 10m agent fee. Its 45m pound in first year and 35m each next 4 years.
Simply the Nike-Puma change lets us buy a 100m player every summer while Puma is with us with no negative effect on our accounts.
And Real Madird has higher incomes, better sponsors than we do, also make much more in gate income. No way they can have ffp problems.
I am sure all these attacks on our club is also a plan for them to try to keep away big sponsors away from City painting us in a bad way, like cheaters etc. they dont want sponsors like Nissan and Puma with us. They cant attack those directly only they can attack the arabic ones.
If I would be Mansour I would try to influence some of these big companies in the world with no direct ties to UAE to repace Etihad as our shirt and stadium spinsor for a mindblowing fee.
Someone like Google or Apple to come in and bankroll us a nice spinsorship deal. Would the media dare to attack those like they do with Arabic sponsors?
Imagine the face of Castles, Harris on twitter to read the news of Apple replacing Etihad and its called Apple Stadium for next 10 years for 100m per season.
