Based on the reporting, Hugo has already been convinced. We need his agent to reduce the slice of pie that he's after.

True. Maybe he will put some pressure on his agent now

It’ll be forgotten that these £30m+ fees will be spread over multiple years with several clauses.

 

It’s not MA’s NUFC anymore where we are led to believe everything has to be paid upfront so we’re handicapped.

 

If we spend £200m this summer (we won’t, but as an example), it’s probably actually only £100m this year.

 

We can then increase our revenue over time which will support the future clauses plus allowing us to do other business each year. We’ll have actual real sponsors.

Very good post and good points

I don’t get why anyone thinks this window will be significantly affected by FFP. We haven’t spent anything for years. 
 

Even if we did slightly overspend we could easily bring more money in next season or the one after. 

Simon Jordon said if we structure the deals right we could spend upwards of £500 million

That also involves getting a shitload of sponsorship money, which to date hasn’t been the case.

Don’t think it does- that figure was at current levels, wasn’t it? How could he provide a possible spending figure to take into account future sponsorship when we don’t know how much sponsorship we will be getting?

Theoretically we could spend a fortune but it could impact our ability to invest in future windows.
 

You’d think the club recognise that level we’re going to be competing at in a few years is going to require greater financial flexibility hence the reason we’re being quite conservative. 
 

Last thing you want to do is try and speed run it like Everton and be lumbered with a load of shit on massive contracts.

I personally think you need to hit certain levels pretty quickly.  You need a team good enough to play in Europe quick-ish. That makes A certain calibre of player easier to get to help us get to the next level. I think the 23/24 season, we’ll need a top 7 team otherwise we’ll be spending money losing out on FFP and standing still.
