Madrid have spent no real transfer money, increased sponsorship and Barcelona received over €300M Euros in transfer, 220M of which for Neymar was paid as a full payment not ammortised, this is not really surprising with Bourinho at the helm add the reduced fees for CL last season by qualifying through the Europa League and this is not a shock, our wage bill is still 53-54% of turnover and the Board rightly expect more from players like Lukaku 250k per week, Sanchez 450k per week and others not pulling their weight. It's a simple matter of economics if you are not getting the right results on the pitch, turnover will stand still, previous season we won the Europa League and League Cup and bounced the revenue.
Ole would love to have his own squad in his own image that pays over £300M per year in wages, we simply need to ship out the deadweight, at least 6 or 7 players and replace them with younger more energetic talents that understand the size and responsibility of the club so we can be a permanent fixture in the Top 2 in the PL then the money will come pouring back in!
