Player Valuation: £40m
Just another reason to hope he finds a job ASAP.
I'm so over him.

Hmmm, depends how much we had to pay Martinez, but a 4 year contract at 7m a year is 28m on its own.

Yes but Goat. As @The Esk will tell you. You have to factor into that 4 year period and the revenue we will make.
4 years at £130million revenue per year is £520 million.
£28 million into £520 million doesn't look as bad.
When the manager is a man who could increase commercial revenues further if he performs.
Well provided we get some real businessmen selling the club not that pauper Bill Kenwright.
Surely we would have a case for under performance on a reduced cost?
In truth I've no idea how it works but if he is entitled to 100% pay out of contract then the system is a farce.
Yeah thanks for this meaningless post Damo.

FFP mate. FFP. Alive and kicking.
But your figures arent even accurate.
We werent paying Martinez 7m a year mate.
They don't need to be for the purposes of this thread. They're general estimates. Even not considering potential revenue increases.
I wonder does this reported £100m war chest include the wage bill as well? Because if it's so then it's not a huge amount greater than what we'd usually pay in a busy window.
I am worried that we are getting carried away with our new commander in chief. He is only worth 1.3billion which makes him closer to Randy Lerner than Roman Abramovich. His wealth is average compared to most owners of most premier league clubs. To be offering 7m a year to Koeman is, in my mind, indicative of the tv deal and not his wealth. Is anyone not a bit concerned that we seem to be putting all our financial eggs in one basket. By that i mean we have a plan of what we want to do and if it doesnt bring us success then that is that. Clubs like City and Chelsea can blow untold millions , make mistakes, and start again. I dont think we are rich enough to do that. I dont think the reason we can pay koeman 7m and southampton cant is not because we have a sugar daddy. Its more because we are prepared to gamble with all our excess tv money and they are not. If the gamble pays off we are laughing but if it doesnt then it may be a fun few years but we could sink like a stone afterwards like villa
I hope i am wrong, maybe The Esk can fill us in on why he is so confident that the future is so solid long term and not short term
Granted, my point was simply based on that example.
Hes not our concern anymore mate, hes gonna be somebody elses problem soon.
