Because our wage bill is still for a top(ish) CL club but we've become a Europa league club with a lot of overpaid dross in the squad, we've bought and sold poorly and our commercial deals are also sub-par although maybe not when considering we're not really much of an asset anyway given we never challenge for the big prizes since Wiggy came along (coincidence that.. ).augie wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 6:30 pmI really don't understand how we are supposed to have made a loss of between 40m-60m last season - we spend fcuk all in the transfer market, we sell out tickets for every home game, we probably make millions on merchandise worldwide, plus we rake in serious coin from tv deals, so how the fcuk can we be in a worse position that the shite fart lane scum ?
We're not in a worse position than Spuds, other than parasite Stan being around (hmm maybe we are), they will make a profit and even more for this season with their jammy run in the CL but long term they still have a £1BN stadium to pay for, the most annoying thing for me though is we could have heaped serious pressure on them by denying them top 4, we've not only made matters worse for ourselves but we've eased the burden a little on their stretched finances, because we are being run so poory ourselves.
Anyway going off topic here so I'll leave it at that
