I'm intrigued by your prediction of £115m revenues this season, without giving too much away from your coming masterpiece, could you give us some idea on how you've come up with that figure ? It's only about £25 million below our peak revenues from the PL era when we had TV money coming out of our ears. Maybe the Parachute payments are far higher than I was expecting, that might explain it, but if our revenue only drops £25 million, we reduce the wage bill, and sell most of our saleable players, then indeed we are in a far better place than anyone could have anticipated. It all sounds too good to be true to me.
I mention "revenues" sinkov and not outgoings: £70 million in so far on player sales, £40 million parachute payment, £5 million on season tickets and commercial revenues. £115 million income gives Mr Pace plenty of "Wiggle Room" IMHO.
