If we don't we aren't going anywhere fast.
Villa spent about 600m to get where they are. Forest the same. Newcastle more.
If we've got three windows to spend I went £100m+ in each or we are simply not serious.
£600m to end up with Dyche. Ouch.

Because that's just on this year's acquisitions and we'd have nothing to spend for additional purchases in the remaining 4 years.
Yep exactly, it's fine to spend £350m over 5 years but we can't spend that over 5 years every single year.
My maths might be wrong but over a 5 year period I think that'd make for a spend of £1.7bn, and even though some would drop off each year we still in no way could afford that or stay within PSR.

Good job PSR is being binned off and we can make out our new stadium makes £500m a year in revenue…

It's amortisation of transfer fees, salaries and contract renewals.
For 2025/2026 it most likely equates to somewhere in the region of £50-60 million spend (what's been put through the books for this period)
I'd expect more headroom next summer with the increase in commercial and television revenue.

Don’t forget the extra revenue from that forth kit too!

Actually like that fourth kit, moral objections aside

I've half been thinking 'who gives a shit' about going into the market this Jan but with Grealish out we do need to go in. We probably would have liked a wide man anyway but you can't just have Ndiaye and McNeil for the rest of the year. You're an injury away from being completely goosed.
Hopefully dibling can step up but the problem isn't opportunity it's that whatever Moyes has demanded of him he hasn't been able to do. So sort yourself out please Tyler we need some quality on the ball asap.
Could do with KDH back as well, will see him and Charly wide too.
