ya but our revenue is over 200 million a year now so a 5 million raise represent less than a 2.5% of revenue and we will make more CL money and significantly more with the new stadium. We will never be Manchester City but an extra 5 million a year just wont be that much in the coming years.
And an extra £5m if kane gets a payrise? How much extra would you pay for toby to sign a new contract? Dele? Eriksen?
We cannot use cl money to pay extra wages because what happens if we don't qualify? We sell players to make up the difference? Look at what happens to teams that are relegated, they have parachute payments to break the fall but still have to sell. This has a massive impact on how good they are on the pitch.
I know it's easy when it's not your money to say pay him extra but it is a lot more complicated than that.
This is not even going into pl ffp.
Our revenue is over £200m (probably more like £300m). Man utd is £581m we are closer to huddersfield than we are them. We also have an £850m stadium to pay for.
