Spurs have apparently never paid more than they do. It's the way they're run, and they'd need to radically change this to pay the market rate wages.

I thought I had read some where that spurs pay a bunch of performance based bonuses, not that other clubs don't, and that keeps the wages "in line" with other clubs. I just can't believe they keep wages so low however.

That's a goddamn absurd reason not to improve the squad when all the other contenders are dropping obscene sums of money.

It's okay we're not buying anyone else because Milner is our new midfielder and Moreno is our new left back

I don't get it. Wouldn't Atletico get the full 110m from the release clause? Why would they accept less? Does some of it go to the league instead?

The Neymar transfer should have been blocked by the government or UEFA or FIFA.
Clearly its not financial fair play.

United are limited to the money earned for transfer budgets. And rightly so.
It's sickening that oil rich Arabs are allowed to spend such sums on football. Disgusting.

Summer 2017:

"The smug clouds have finally all dispersed over Manchester, it is not a pretty sight.
Fans are looking round and coming to a realisation.


The realisation, that regardless of them spending over 300m on players in the last 2 transfer windows, that suddenly:

they are no longer a big club"
