Net Spending - £12m this season
|
|
Looking at the numbers on the site below.
https://www.transfermarkt.com/west-ham-united/transfers/verein/379/plus/0?saison_id=2017&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=
If Sakho goes (for the reported £7m) that reduces this to a total of £5m. Even allowing for the increase in wages, this says everything.
Am I missing something?

There will be fees on top (all players in signing on fees, agent fees, registration fees), plus suspect their figures are at best guesses since most transfers these days are "undisclosed".

Much as there will be fees etc to add on, take note that the club often also gives out transfer fees along with ongoing add ins etc to make out they spent more.
Much as transfers out are often not as highly valued as their total clause deal may imply, neither are transfers in. After all, any clause for qualifying for Europe or the Champions League are unlikely to be met by the fucknugget twats we have in charge,

In (sort of) defence of these numbers, we don't have an issue as far as funds being available for transfers. Our issue is that we are right on the limit as far as wages go. You're only allowed to increase by a certain amount each year unless there's an increase in revenue (or something like that). Since the move to an athletics stadium was basically pointless from a financial - and every other - perspective, we have no wiggle room
Our wage structure is absolutely fucking ludicrous. We're in the top 6 or 7. Far from that being a sign of how much they're willing to invest, it's a sign of their incompetence. Oh, and a sign that players sign for money, not athletics stadia

Could always reach into their pockets and sponsor Rush Green to cover the costs, a la Man City, Man Utd etc...

FFP is a nonsense of course but that's the system we are signed up to
What it does show is that we get the worst value for money for the wages we are paying
Too many overpaid timewasters
For example .... Carroll Ayew & Hart .... how much per week for nil output?

Even though some won't want to admit it you do get the sense that this month has been a really difficult market to work in and Sullivan is frustrated. He will be terrified of relegation and if he has just laid out 4 mil to cover Mario's loan deal then that indicates that he is willing to spend, albeit maybe not the big money that we want to see spent.

Don't give then ideas!
They'll just change the first "R" in the name to a "B" (using a few old strips of insulation tape to save money) and plaster the place with adverts for the new Anne Summers hair dye....
...football can go fuck itself.

Yeah season before this we were the 6th largest net spenders I believe. But we're spent sweet FA this season.

Bit of a meaningless stat on its own. Spurs I think have net profit most seasons but are challenging near the top end. Burnley I think are also in profit yet sit in 8th.
Brighton and Huddersfield are somewhere around +40m for net spend but are in a relegation battle and below us in the table.

5 million since the summer is a simple pisstake from the Daves after the stadium move and people like Stepney make excuses for them along the way

Generally in sports it's the team with the highest wage bill that generally has most success, the mere fact that we have a big wage bill suggests to me that the incorrect players have been signed, withstanding their signing costs.

We are the 7th highest wage payers in the premiership behind the current top six clubs so we must be doing something wrong some where.

Shows how clueless the board are then if we have such a high wage bill.
I am not sure why their backers are championing this information unless we are being told that we should be thankful that they allow the club to spend some of the money West Ham United generates from it's activities on football players though if the owners are personally financing this spending by investing extra funds I will stand corrected.
