angelman Posted 16 January, 2018 Share Posted 16 January, 2018 (edited) You do realise how much sky give us every year right? You do realise that EFC have a turnover that is at least 40% more than ours. Then look at their wage bill and profit compared to ours. If you think that we have equal financial clout as EFC then fine, we'll just have to disagree and leave it at that.

Ultimatt Posted 16 January, 2018 Share Posted 16 January, 2018 So Everton have signed a striker and pacy winger that we were both linked with. Times running out Les. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Fred Posted 16 January, 2018 Share Posted 16 January, 2018 No, not a lot has changed since 1992. Everton were a much richer club than us then, and still are now. Or maybe you are advocating spending like Leeds did - that ended well for them, didn't it? revenue wise they are not much bigger than us currently (ignore the bigger club or not debate)..the difference is their owner wants to pump money into the club and ours doesn't.

As for where we spend our funds I'd like to see it spent on quality that will improve the team, not just some average journeyman who Pelligrino happens to know, or the 4th best option from Les' list.

I would have thought that Walcott was about the best we could muster. Let's just hope we can bring this lump in up top and someone else with some pace for attack and then see if we can scrape to the end of the season.

Donatello Posted 16 January, 2018 Share Posted 16 January, 2018 (edited) Wrong season's figures. Our commercial arm isn't as active as it could be. Hasn't ever been that effective. As Saint Fred has alluded to, you're comparing apples and oranges. From the article you linked.... "Everton has posted record turnover and a post-tax profit of more than £30m. Turnover for the year amounted to £171.3m, almost £50m more than the previous highest recorded in 2014/15, a season in which the Club reached the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League. Broadcast revenues accounted for most of the increase in turnover, with 2016/17 the first year of a record-breaking £5bn TV rights deal for the Premier League. " Their broadcast revenue went from ~£82m to ~£132m. There's your +£50m right there. Ours will supposedly go from £80m-£85m to ~£127m. When we publish our accounts for the same year, the turnover will be comparable, give or take £10m (speculation). So, yeah, no offense, but this... Their turnover was 41% more than ours. Their profit was 500% more than ours. Their wage bill was 15% more than ours . All from 2016/17 season. ...is b*llocks (although I have no idea about their wage bill, and I canny be bothered to look) Edited 16 January, 2018 by Donatello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new TV money, the day we hand out 100K pw contracts is closer than people think. Bournemouth, Palace and Leicester have already breached that threshold. Gabbi is already on 80K pw -and it’s not difficult to justify paying Walcott more given his track record in the league and our immediate needs. It’s very possible that we didn’t match Everton’s offer; but it’s not totally far-fetched either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the predicament we're in! Mental. It's the classic case of ''oh he's being sold, he's **** anyway'' ''oh we've missed out, he was too expensive anyway, better value in europe''. When the reality is for £20m there isn't a single player out their with his pedigree, attributes or experience in this league to get. Probably a choice of the player, but given the position we were in 2 seasons ago (finished 6th) we really could have had the pick of proper talent, but we decided to sell it all instead.

Turkish Posted 17 January, 2018 Share Posted 17 January, 2018 £20m is the new £10m The fact of the matter is Walcott is a proven Premier league player and could come in and do a job straight away rather than signing a foreigner who will need to time to adapt to a new country and a new league. That is what we need and that costs money. Regardless of any of that anyway he was clearly our number one target, we made the rare decision to go public on it, stating two or three times via the clubs favoured journalists that we were in for him and confident he'd sign. He didn't, so we've missed out and Reed has failed to bring in a player we considered our most important signing. Time is ticking and this window is fast becoming as shambolic as last January.

I think your right in what you say. You either subscribe to the absurd business logic in spiralling prices and wages in the Premier league (plenty of clubs will) or you decide that's just too rich for you. Maybe the board have decided the latter, which is up to them and the owner as its his money, but if that is the case then they need to be honest with the fans. If they came out and said "we are just not prepared to pay these silly prices because it is unaffordable longterm for a club our size" then everyone can manage their expectations. Relegation likely, Championship football for the foreseeable future - which I don't think is that bad. Its the fact that a deluded Les thinks you can still win without paying these ridiculous fees and wages, which it is clearly apparent that you can not.

I think you're right. In January, in our predicament, we need someone who is oven ready. In the summer then maybe look abroad for the value buys. Add in Walcotts pace, and goals, which we lack, and I think there's a case for going all out to get him. Maybe we did and he just doesn't think he'll make his case for the WC in the current Saints team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
