Gross Spend / Net Spend / Wages

[Efcjake]

I'd say that's pretty much the right answer, there'll be the odd time when you sell a player on for a massive profit and, at that point, then your gross spend becomes more of a factor, but overall, it's just about balancing resources.

Ideally the idea is that there is some level of growth there to support improving the overall quality of the squad. Net Spend and wage growth isn't a guarantee of improvement but it definitely helps the chance of improving just by having more resources available to work with.

You've posted 968 times in the last 20 days mate. People who live in glass houses and all that !!
I may have made that up

I'm making up for the months incarceration for reasons I don't understand but wholly respect. Xx

All wages and transfers should be spent on players you have never heard of but have a good youtube video

Wages can be important as good players want good money but if we go into next season looking much better we have had a good window, what we spend means nothing, who we spend it on is what counts.
Besides regardless of what we do in the summer we have to keep a wedge back for January to plug any holes that might open in in the early months of the season

I don't care if we have the lowest paid squad in world football or the highest. I don't care how the pundits value our talent and what their market rate would be worth. I simply do not care how our team matches up against others on paper or in the pregame analysis. The only two things that are of any importance to me are how many games do we win, and do the players on the squad love the club as much as the fans do?

Clearly I chose melted feta on toasted bread.

More concerned our cladding, is ok, y'know.

Arsed basically.

Don't say that!

Most 'Everton that' moment ever if we've used flammable cladding!!

Has anyone compared the fees for Niasse and Coleman yet?

There's a Blueroom podcast about all this. I'm not a virgin living with Mum but on nightshift doing sweet FA and I ran out of Everton stuff to read. There's only so many Regurgitated Sandro Ramirez rumours to read. If this kinda thing floats your boat it's worth a listen ... for an hour

With the TV money these days what you spend no longer matters. It's all about the wages. If another team offers more, that's where the player will go.

At last, a serious conversation about the important things at the club.
Carry on.

Haha, fair point !
Mind you, I've always thought much the same when I've read your posts, but have been far too polite to reply with such an emoticon !

Sorry mate, the sarcasm font ran out.

Not arsed anymore.
