    If you don't care about the fee either then fair enough. The point I'm making is that it doesn't make any sense to look at the transfer fee in isolation. Transfer fee divided by contract length + annual wages. That's what the player costs per year.

    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    Using the 70% UEFA figure as a benchmark, for their wages and amortisation of £236m to be sustainable they'd need to have revenues of just under £340m. Their actual revenue is just over £170m.

    No idea how reliable these things are but did a search for RB Leipzig wages and these are both saying around £165k a week. https://salarysport.com/football/bundesliga/rb-leipzig/ https://fbref.com/en/squads/acbb6a5b/2023-2024/wages/RB-Leipzig-Wage-Details I suspect we were probably paying...

    Anybody know what sort of wages he's on/would be looking for? I keep seeing references to the £15m fee (which I think in isolation would be decent VFM) but that's only half the story...

    Bundesliga 23/24

    Very sensible. Klopp's their most successful manager in decades. Anyone following that is always going to be on a bit of a hiding to nothing. Just look at how many managers Utd went through after Fergie.

    Lets all laugh at Newcastle

    Oh I'm sure they weren't known at the time. My point was just that the last of these dates appears to before he was charged and banned by the Italian FA and if he's kept his nose clean since then I'm sure he'll try to use that fact in mitigation.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Doesn't really make any sense. If they think he's doing a crap job why wait 3 years? Maybe they can't get rid of him before then for some reason?

    Lets all laugh at Newcastle

    Just checked the timelines and it was announced he was being investigated by the Italian FA on 18 Oct and then he was banned on the 26 Oct. So it seems like he was at it right up to the point it was announced he was being investigated. I guess if he stopped at that point and hasn't done...

    ‘No limits’ after Italy debut for Vicario

    Wow. That's surprising. I guess he's the classic "late developer".

    Playing style under Ange is splitting opinion but he is right to prioritise growth over top four

    Just a general comment and not aimed at you but people really need to do some simple arithmetic in their heads when they look at things like this. Even if there were hundreds of fans calling for his head on Twitter we have literally millions of fans in total. So just as a simple example if...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    Agree. It should be the other way around. The standard penalty is what you get if you cooperate completely. Any lack of cooperation should then see additional penalties added.

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    Are we going to end up with penalties so small that clubs end up figuring the upside of breaking the rules in terms of improved results outweighs the lost points?

    Archie Gray

    Given the way we invert our fulbacks I'd have thought someone who was comfortable at both fullback and centre midfield would basically be perfect for the role.

    The way I look at it is that most players would like to win stuff, and I'd hope that they're sensible enough to realise that the only way to win stuff is to be part of a strong squad with plenty of depth and competition for places.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Always comes across well whenever I've seen him interviewed. Only 41 too. Think he could be one to watch.
