These are the figures from Deloittes that underpin the top six highest earners in the EPL , FFP compliance.
1: City > 718m
2: Utd > 649m
3: Liverpool > 594m
4: Spurs > 549m
5: CFC > 513m
6: AFC> 463m
From a Chelsea perspective it is clear CFC will need to maintain a turnover in the region of 500m per season,to be FFP compliant & continue to complete the restructuring of the squad and clubs operations.
The club relies upon revenues from its league position, TV rights, sponsorship , marketing activities, player trading & elite competition qualification.
Based upon the 2022/23 turnover,player sales (150m > 200m ) clearly enabled the club to maintain FFP compliance.
Going forward 2023/24 the club will need to achieve a similar value of player sales as the club cannot rely upon elite competition revenue stream.
This seems to be the clearest indicator that CFC will now enter a period of becoming a selling club to maintain financial stability and FFP compliance
2022 > 2023 EPL turnover.

Whatever the reasoning, United appear to be addressing the matter.
With increasing revenues, owner investment, cutting the wage bill, it won’t be long before United are competing IF they can get their transfers right across the next few Summers.

United have made a rod for their own back by acting desperate in the transfer market for years, paying dumb fees and wages to get deals over the line. They get milked by clubs, players and agents and have created this level of expectation.

None of last summers signings are on silly wages.
Yes we overpaid for Hjojlund, but he is a top prospect at a time when there are very few realistic alternatives.

Obviously his injuries make that deal look bad, but let’s judge him in a season or 2. I suspect it will look a good deal.

His salary and price make it look bad, it has nothing to do with injuries.

I was thinking it was more his footballing ability that makes it look like £120m badly spent.
For a player, who prefers Fernandes' role or left of an attacking 3.

I don’t mind amount but £250k and £50m for a player in the last year of his contract is not great business.
He is a top pro though and part of me thinks ETH is trying to improve the professionalism of the squad dad a whole, and that’s what I’ve read too.
