SCR restrictions

Same as villa for the past few years!!

I’ve got no problem with us not spending much on players but it would just be nice to have a bit of clarity from the hierarchy so we know.

I’ve literally just said the same to a mate on the phone, I know where we’re at as a club and I’m fine with it, we eventually have to sell our best players and it’s a struggle for us getting players in, but same as you I wish SP would come out and explain this to us, if moneys tight and/or were restricted with the regulations and we’ve got to more or less go with what we’ve got, then fine, but it would be nice to hear it from the gaffer

But we also can raise revenue by selling players.
I know we all feel attachment to our beloved hero’s and feel gutted when they move on (especially when it’s a key player like Max) but the model of selling players once we have developed them is n important part of our ability to generate funds for new players. The problem is average young replacements are now millions of pounds overpriced- so instead of selling one prized asset for 3 (or maybe 4) new additions we’re ending up spending almost the same amount to bring in a replacement! It’s gone mad!
So bringing in out of contract players or promoting from the academy is the only realistic way we can keep improving……until we can increase revenue through match days.

It’s amazing that we’ve been doing so well when you actually sit and think about it.

Take a look at the this Beeb article and the matchday income of PL clubs the season before last. We simply can't compete with most of the other PL clubs.

Spurs only just avoided Premier League relegation last season, but off the pitch they are thriving. So is building a new stadium a good way around spending rules?

Thanks doombear - that was a very interesting read and just shows what an uneven environment we’re operating in.

The game is rigged to where the clubs that were able to generate revenue before the rules came in are able to pay more which gives them a higher chance of success by being able to spend more then small clubs.

Deloitte puts out some interesting information on the financial breakdown. Their numbers tend to be for the year before because the most recent numbers haven't been released. I stole the chart below from them so you can see how the higher profile clubs are able to spend more overall but have a smaller wage/revenue ratio so that they can add more during the windows while mid and lower tier teams are a signing or two away from busting that limit. While the upgraded stand is going to really help out, it needed to be done a few years ago.


A key take away for me is that at a minimum, we need to stay up because if we get relegated, it becomes a huge challenge to field a squad that can keep you up because the finances go out the window like my wife shopping on Amazon.
