From memory spurs revenue was £310m Liverpool £370m . Our revenue is gonna go up at least £100m probably more like £150m.

We had UEFA prize money of £39M, Liverpool had diddly. They are also expanding their stadium to the same capacity as ours.

Tell me,if we got taken over by oil money who are you replacing in our current squad ? Let’s consider Poch likes a tight squad numbers wise so let’s stick with current 24 as a number and pretend we have unlimited budget.

Out:
Llorente -obvious
Sissoko-obvious
Dembele- most likely
DM- I might look to get a more ball playing DM like a carrick for variety, but it’s not an obvious change. And probably give wanyama chance to prove form.
LB- possibly shift Rose but again I’d give him a season.
KWP- probably send on loan

So in reality that’s 4 slots even in a dream scenario.KWP is bit of a floater slot that I’d give to a youth player like Edwards if he gets his act together or Skipp or Griffiths etc. So in reality that leaves 3 slots. I like a young prospect in Grealish to replace sissoko. So even in a dream scenario it’s 2 major signings. A CM and the striker/AM type which would give us x7 AM options and Kane back up. Considering it’s 2 major signings I’d much rather make sure and get the right players. If we needed 6 or 7 like Liverpool did I could understand the panic.
I know this is the prevailing opinion on here, but there's just no evidence for it. The fact that 'we' as fans think Sissoko should be sold doesn't change the fact that Poch played him loads last season.

I generally agree with your post though.

Yes they are. Difference being that their average prices per ticket will be far far lower.
Our matchday income will surpass pretty much every club in the world tbh.

Something else we can stick in the trophy cabinet then?

As long as its invested in the team then fair enough. Same old story about value for money. We've had value for money for years now. To get beyond our current level we need to bite the bullet and accept that you don't get value for money for top rank players, far from it. But these are necessary to progress.

Suffering the consequences now from years or buying bargain basement shit and knock offs of the players we actually wanted. Buy cheap and you buy twice.

I agree our match day income will grow, but that's not where the big bucks are made.

Ive mentioned this before, but Poch has come out and said that the new stadium wont mean we instantly have shitloads to spend, but people completely ignore this and would rather believe anonymous gossip on the internet than our own bloody manager, you can't get more ITK than Poch.

People actually thought we'd have a 150m net spend this summer or whatever it was, and now they're losing their shit because it hasn't materialised...its pretty funny when you think about it.

Herc did say the £150m figure would be gross and dependent on sales. Maybe we will maybe we wont.
I think we have a good squad anyway.

Liverpool Anfield road extension hasn’t even been confirmed yet and if started won’t happen till after the training ground which has been delayed a year. So even if it happens it’s a fair few years off. Plus I doubt adding a tier to a goal end stand will add 10k to attendance. However you want to cut it we are likely to have the 3rd highest revenue as long as we stay in CL.

Why do you keep ignoring the CL money, roughly £40M, We won't be overtaking Liverpool.

Because that’s changeable. On same level of performance we will be above them. And our £306 from 16/17 would go up up as well in 17/18 just based on CL money as we got to last 16 we also won 5 of or 6 group games which is more money. It basically if you strip out the CL money we go back to £268m leaving us about £95m behind. I’d be very surprised if our total revenue goes up less than £95m then it’s down to performance.
