Obligatory you'll never sing that.™

Reinforces what we all know about the state of our transfers/spending (and Everton's notably too) when we have a heavy PSR penalty coming in spite of this.

It also reinforces how these rules are skewered to allow the big six to thrive. We shouldn't even be close to where we are now.

Half a billion down the drain, Jon Rudkin strikes again…

[john ridley]

Not just that but all the Premier,champions league money as well,plus the losses KP have picked the tab up for .How we've been run ,words fail me and yet the same people  are still there and looking to **** the future  up as well .

How the hell have Everton raised more than us from sales in the last decade? Until they sold Onana this summer for £50m the only other big sale I can recall them making recently is the c£90m for Lukaku.

Stones and Richarlison. They've done well to shift their dross and unproven players like Moise Keane for £25m+, Lookman for circa £20m, Vlasic for £20m etc

[jonthefox]

Yeah but we have shit owners though.

Had forgotten some of those sales but as i recall they sold Stones and Richarlison for a combined £100m so taking into account Onana and Lukaku, that means they must have raised £400m from other sales which seems very high to me. 

[honeybradger]

Idrissa Guede, Digne and Fellaini are their other big sales cant imagine the rest total to 300 mil.

That's about right for Everton going off Transfermarkt figures. Stones, Lukaku, Gueye, Digne, Gordon, Richarlison, Kean, Iwobi and Onana all went for big money, then there's a few like Barkley, Klaassen, Lookman and Godfrey who fetched 10-20m each

It’s one thing getting transfer income, but if you spaff it up the wall like us and Everton have done it’s actually corrosive and works against you. The top six can absorb a few crap big money deals and bad windows, but for others it can derail you. Enter Mr Jon Rudkin…

 

Honestly how this current regime is still in place is a joke. We had no right to get relegated - a bad year would have been 15th but you would have taken it in hindsight. The whole strategy of buying ‘ready made’ talent to perform immediately is unrealistic for a club like us as it costs too much, and makes the margin of error and getting deals wrong hugely costly.

 

My only consolation is that it’s not just us toward the top of that list for whom it has backfired - Everton, Southampton…

....and still it's the same people, in the same positions, making the same mistakes. Top really needs to extract his head from his own arse.

[HankMarvin]

Yet 2 of the top 6 couldn’t even maintain a stay in the Premier league

Not necessarily an owners issue  - more the people that handle and negotiate transfers........

[whoareyaaa]

We have wasted a lot of money on transfers and also giving players huge wages.

 

it all went wrong when we paid 30m for Slimani 

.. then we just spent 15-20m on loads of average players

[whoareyaaa]

Apart from Fofona and Maguire most profit sales are from Steve Walsh signings Drinktwater, Mahrez Kante and academy players KDH, Chilwell and Barnes.

 

players we have paid 15-20m that we have failed to move on for any profit must be pretty big probably Maddison is only the one in recent time

[coolhandfox]

Yes we have wasted money.

 

But look at that list, we have a PL title, FA Cup, Community Shield and other stuff to show for it.

 

What have likes of Southampton, Everton and others got to show for it.

Exactly. Look where Arsenal are on that list and consider what they must have spent in signings during the same period.

Because its not all about selling a few first teamers for big money, we have been really bad at letting squad players go.

On reading the topic post, you don't know whether to  laugh or cry. Don't they understand that good business sense is about buying low and selling high  not the other way around.

 

 

[ThorpeAstleyFox]

Transfer income is a meaningless metric - it is net transfer spend that you need to look at. During the same period we have spent ~£600m on players (breaking even is still pretty good, to be fair).

more like buying high and not selling at all now
