the difference is Roman isn't worried about the investment, he just wants to win with attacking football.

That's a wind up, surely?!

I refused to bite.

But yes.

I've never heard Roman speak about Chelsea let alone his views on attacking football.

My favourite is how they all say they used to go before the crooked money came in.

Check out their average attendance's during the 80's .

Truly appalling .

Check out Newcastle's ... even worse. At least Chelsea built a huge stand back in those days - even if no-one sat in it!

With Real Madrid now paying £38m for an untested 16 year old from South America the question now is surely how much for Kane, Alli, Hazard, Kante et all in the wake of that?

Well, how much would Madrid have to pay anyway, if not everyone else.

Absolutely crazy - world has gone mad - everything has doubled, there wont be 100k salaries soon, everyone will be on 200k even your average players

Depends how much money they can rinse out of the deal - probably not much when dealing with EPL clubs.....

The big 5 pre-EPL. Doesn't look like SKY money has changed much.

Have we had this?

Liverpools wage bill double ours

do these numbers just get made up?

this links says £150-160M rather than £200M+, still shocked we spend more than City though

http://www.totalsportek.com/money/liverpool-player...

apparently the £200M+ includes all staff not just players

So our figure was slightly inflated due to paying of BR and his staff, along with Balotelli and Benteke on big wages? I imagine ours a bit lower this season.

Fantastic picture of old and new:

He's only ever spoken once on camera, and that was to a child called Oran Tully, who has a serious illness who was a guest of the club. It's on Youtube.

It'll be like for like. Some clubs will have manager pay-offs some won't. Might end up a bit lower, might even out with higher contracts spread around. I'm going to assume that all clubs wages are going up in the next set of accounts though.

Not sure what you mean by like for like.

From my link "The Reds shelled out £208,258,000 on salaries for players and staff for the 12 months up to May 31 2016"

So the number is taken from the published accounts, Liverpool won't have accrued redundancy payments for BR and his staff, so that will be a one off expense, plus compensation (if any) for hiring the new management team.

Numbers still shocking - also massive disparities between some players

I know he arrives to the games in one of 4 identical limo's to keep the assassins guessing I assume.

Just that it will be a like for like comparison between clubs. It's the wages for players and staff, the same as other clubs.

Any idea how big the new pitch is likely to be in your new ground? A bit bigger, much bigger?

I can answer this.

Bigger than Old WHL.

Wembley pitch is 105m by 69m
New WHL pitch will be 105m by 68m
