One way or another there's been some serious delusion on NSC recently, and yet you can still be very pleased with yourself.Even a fit Baldock would be a start

Davy Propper: Record midfield signing from PSV - OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED
- Thread starter El Turi
- Start date
Megazone
On his last warning
It's going to be very interesting to see the quality of this much needed striker. When you sign a creative midfielder who can create chances out of nothing, signing a top quality striker to play alongside Propper would just guarantee the best out of the both of them. This signing indicates we're going for a striker and I reckon it's going to be someone of a similar standard and of around the same price.

Not seen such Bravery!
Albion total transfer fee spend this summer so far now ~£22million.
Wage bill since TB took over as follows
I'm expecting it to be close to £40 million for last season, and at least £75 million for the one we're about to commence.

What about Kemy? Whatever we paid for him was WAY too much!
10 million ground improvements ? That eats into the budget surely ?

The ground improvements are reportedly c£5m and as EL P says above - the wage bill (all those new 4-5 year contracts) will be a hefty c £75m
Blimey. Not much left is there...
@ElPres's figures for the Albion's wages are astonishing - £27m for 2015/16 and £40m estimated for 2016/17, with turnover of just £25m and £17m of other costs.
After Newcastle and Villa, we must have been right up there with clubs having the highest payroll costs in the Championship.
Unsustainable, but TB rolled the dice and won yet again.

Our wage bill was estimated to be the ninth highest in the Championship last season and TB said the same today.
£130m turnover
Less
£17m other costs including £5m depreciation
£75m payroll
£5m improvements (capitalised, so not an immediate cost, but spent immediately in cash flow terms)
Leaves £33m for net player trading, assuming a break even position is budgeted for.
We'll have to wait until January to find out. Even TB doesn't know the confidential wage bills of the other Championship clubs for 2016/17.
Let's not forget all the money the club will raise from this promotion.
We can't be told about 'multi-national companies marauding to Falmer, waving their cheque books' and 'spending considerably less than £100m has left them brasic'.
Plenty more big spending to come, inc the one we're all waiting for.

Q: How do you know Danny Holla?
A: Because he's Dutch
Q: What do you know about the decline in Dutch football?
A: Probably as much as the decline in British journalists asking stupid fecking questions.
Held himself well in answering the questions

Of which £22 million has already been paid out. Obviously allowing for amortisation alters that figure somewhat
It was 10th highest in 2015/16. My estimate for 2016/17 includes bonuses for promotion.
My £33m is a mix of:
1. Profit or loss on player contracts terminating early (players sold); and
2. Year one amortisation charge of NEW player fees.
Existing player fee amortisation charges are already built into the £17m other costs figure.

ok then, I've seen the picture of him holding up the shirt. I'm quite happy with him signing although I have reservations about some of the reports of him being a bit of a sulky pants. We'll see but he could be a marmite man. Luckily, I like marmite

Any Dutch speakers on here ?
the quote in the tweet is something like "I would have liked to have gone out with European football at PSV"
