The obvious thing to point out is it's a percentage of turnover.

Look at most teams turnover and you'll realise why their percentage is so high.

Hence Arsenal United and City are down there with us

We can increase it but that's likely to happen as the cycle we are in matures.

The irony being that our percentage could go up (everyone happy) because of less turnover...but our actual real wage spend could go down.

People would not bl8nk at that and see it as a positive

Obviously the higher our wages the less we can spend on transfer fees.

It’s all trade offs unless your city

Interestingly our total wage bill is below Villa's and only £5m above Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Lot of stuff out today from Deloitte, we're 9th in total revenue and I think 7th is probably the highest we could really get too in the next few years.

Probably a little higher if Emirates Marketing Project and PSG were honest about revenues.

Yup, if you ignore the almost 350m net spend in the last 3 years.

Yes, there are now a number of clubs out there with lower revenue than us but who are more ambitious than us from a footballing perspective, as well as there being another set of clubs who have higher revenues than us as well as more ambition from a football perspective

That is before you add the clubs who simply ensure that they operate a better resourced and financed data, scouting and recruitment department than we do.

How much of the transfer spending would you like to see allocated towards wages?
