These are the savings we can expect ot make on contracts ending this summer.
Delph: Wages 4.16 mill, Amortisation: 3.6 mill, Total: 7.mill p.a.
Gylfi: Wages, 5.2 mill, Amortisation: 8.8mill, Total: 14.10 p.a.
Tosun: Wages 3.12 mill, Amortisation, 4.0 mill, Total: 7.12 mill p.a.
Total scope: 28.22 million.
Miscellaneous: Kenny, Longerman, Begovic - negligible really, but prob take us up to in and around 30 mill in savings.
Last season i make it about 20/25 million. Saved.
So over all its likely we reduced the cost of wages and amortisation of 50-55 million over the last two summers.
Of course we've taken wages on as well in signings, so that overall figure will be less.
Also the fact that we have/will made/make savings in the last four windows - does not mean we have that money to spend.
Its like this:
We recorded a loss of 121 million in our last set or accounts (20/21), we've saved about 50-55 million in costs in the last three transfer windows and the next with contracts expiring, we've taken more costs on, in wages for new players. So even with cost savings, doing the Maths we are still, making significant losses, so the suggestion still is even with savings on contracts expiring we have significant costs still to come down. A significant sale however as we know changes this, likely to a more break even position.
Overall though i definitely wouldn't be getting giddy because some high earners are leaving, i dont think it gives us massive scope. Remember this isn't money coming into the club to be spent, its coming of our losses - which are significant
