In real gross terms its twice that. Thats important bc witht he new tax bill we can save a lot on that side of the wage bill. Ronaldo leaving for 60 mil a season opens up closer to 75-80 in new contracts for foreign players.

Damn... Cant watch the child porn that had flooded it?

The same way we afforded Ronaldo when no one said we could. If we could do that it would be such a financial boost that we could make it work with some financial tricks. Would he be free?

That paycut was for one season during the pandemic. They agreed to it and im sure most are ok with it and still would prefer that their team gets better in the offseason

Its still money we arent paying this year though.

Interesting thought. If teams budgets are destroyed they will not meet FFP guidelines. Obviously they will suspend them or have some new measure. Who will this help if they remove FFP for 3 years or so and some teams hurting worse than others? Also the oil backed teams are about to struggle IMO

Are we saying Can was a financial mistake? Should we go back to guys like Rincon?

I agree with this to some extent but also the transfer fee not being paid take away the risk on some level unless they are a complete flop. Ramsey is still young here and has time to impreove. Can got us 30 after terrible display Rabiot would get a high fee as well IMO Are you basing this off...

How much has our commercial revenue gone up since Ronaldo? Adidas went upp too right? Every little bit helps

We are going for rapid growth right now. We invested a lot in Ronaldo as a marketing/player package. When he goes away in a few years the percentage will go down. I think all the numbers are off right now because we decided to make a push to the next level. The flip side to this is not try to...

I agree. He listed net so I just followed suit. That actually is more of my point that its not the actually the same as Ronaldo

We did spend 100 mil on Ronaldo and 75 on MDL in back to back years which were both acredited to Paratici. Maybe he has more of a big spending mindset but need to slowly add more. Maybe this year the big purchase will be a midfielder 1578664240 Yes we should have gotten another Ronaldo who was...

Nah we will fix it this year or at least try. Our trying might be a half assed attempt and being cheap though

I agree but disagree as well. Roanldo has 2 years left and at that point we have 30 million free. Our on field play will take a dip if not properly replaced before. We are trying to get long term fans to stay with us after Ronaldo. So no we cant afford a lot more expensive players right now but...

Hopefully its a mix and not just one big keep us out of ffp trouble injection

Do you think so? Im optimistic as well(and currently getting abused on here bc there is no way we sign big players with high fees)Also we just signed tow massive players for huge fees so...

What is the reason or potential uses of the 300 mil injection?

I think the players signed in the summer qualified but the tax break actually starts January. I could be wrong though

Yes you can look at individual transfers and say they were good or bad if if you cant say our team is progressively getting worse you need to trust the board. Salaries could get out of hand I just dont see it.Khedira,Can,Mandzukic will all be off the books in the next 1-2 years max. Ronaldo...

Yeah its easy to say now who turned out good and who bad. Our board has done an amazing job the last 10 years of growing us into a world power again. Hard to claim we have hurt ourselves with bad transfer policies
