So close to being Top tier European Club

Interesting thread.

Not sure what you mean? We could probably spend £250m and still be in line to meet ffp.

More than that. The net spend marker for the big teams with around £500m revenue (which we will be) is around £150m a season. As FFP is over 3 rolling seasons we could probably do £500m net without any issues.

The limit on wage increases is probably more of a hindrance.

If we had a turnover of £500m for the last 2 seasons. But agree i don't think ffp will be a concern this season.

what's the maximum you can increase your pay structure per season to stay within the FFP?

£7m but if you increase revenue from non tv you can increase it further.

We made a world record profit last season, and it will be similar this season and next.
We could net spend £300 million in the Summer without a problem.
FFP is the least of our worries.

This is where young, promising players come in

They're usually high in transfer fees, but with reasonable wage demands

Was just thinking we are literally a Levy phone call away from being up their with the very elite in Europe. The call would be “yes I will sell”. And then wo could sit right with the PSG City Madrid Barcelona. I doubt any club in Europe will have a better infrastructure than us added to being in London. Ok some may have slightly bigger stadium, but imo 62k considering the quality will be enough to be considered elite. I mean what are City about 53k I think. So there it is training facility, lodge,Stadium,manager and 80% of squad.

For me there’s probably about 5 or 6 I’d ship out tomorrow and replace with top quality that I feel would make us very serious CL contenders. I don’t even think it would cost that much. Also a new loaded owner would have plenty of FFP wriggle room. This is what I would do some might sound harsh.

Out: Aurier Davies(which x2 full backs is very debatable) wanyama dembele llorente Nkoudou. If done in January and throw maybe a janssen and Onomah I reckon we could get £100m for that.( obviously this is all fantasy but just trying to demonstrate how little it may cost)

In: x2 FB 100m DM 50m CM 70m AM 70m ST 30m.

So Net would be £200m which to a City type owner is chicken feed. We must seem a hugely attractive proposition to the right buyer. In fact it makes you wonder that if Levy sat down and did these numbers he must realise how close we are. You’d think if he can find £1bn for a stadium he could rustle up another £200m. Anyway the point of all this was just to show how very close we are to being a top 5 European club. Just to say don’t want to make this a player specific transfer thread as obviously the transfer forum is open, more interesting if people think I’m deluded ? or we really are that close and even with a new mega money owner we’d be considered as elite.

Actually think this is a good post and basically we are about 4-5 serious squad upgrades away from being able to fight on all fronts, we’ve done incredibly well to get to the CL final but if we had those squad upgrades that’s where the getting further in the FA and League cup whilst putting in a serious challenge for the league comes in.

We have everything set now and we are certainly a big club now, if we can win this CL that will cement us at the top table.

Unfortunately seems like Newcastle might be joining the party.

Or its a golden opportunity for Levy to sell our overrated squad players for inflated prices to a new owner looking to level up his squad. I'll never forget getting 18m for Kevin Wimmer..!

This is a bold claim, but when you read it, it makes a lot of sense.

Am I missing the bit of where he says we are Europe’s leading club over the last 15 years?

Can only see him saying we have made the most progress on and off the pitch in that time.

Blame the headline writer if you don't like his idea of "leading". I just thought it was an interesting little article.

Yes but saying we've made the most progress isn't that bold of a claim. Although you'd have to say city hold that title. Even if it was with huge investment.
