Decided it was time to leaf
Been thinking about how FFP comes into play here: if the sums are done based on profit vs expenditure over three years, it makes sense to spend big now and clear some deadwood then sell Bale at a big profit NEXT year as that deal would tie us over for another big spend (if needed) for next year and the following year. If we spend big and make a big profit this year, it leaves us with no opportunity to splurge again in the future.
Because this would mean keeping Bale, I choose to believe it.
