Pay off the overdraft, pay for £10m of new infrastructure.

£130m on infrastructure which he wanted for the club regardless of their division. But on the players side, his backing was telling in getting us to the PL, meaning he won’t need to pump in £25m a season ad infinitum, so his plan worked. As with most clubs, it is not a normal business model...

Equates to their 11 highest paid players receiving £52.5k a week more than ours (£45k a week is often mentioned). So double. Certainly not getting value based on consistent relegation struggles and a stack of defeats every season.

With PB overseeing value spent on new player fees and wages, whilst Parish sanctions far higher sums on average players. Plus PB was headhunted by others, TB acted to retain him.

Well worth the £100m’s they keep gifting agents and other clubs on average players.

Is that £2.446m pay to Parish do you think?

No. Remember cash flows aren’t the same as an accounting profit/loss.

Good news, finally in the black, Tony’s investment was worth it. With identical broadcasting income to us, it will be interesting to see how Fulham and Wolves fare in their first PL accounts. Given their huge spend in fees, agents fees and wages for well known internationals.
