spencer 1970 214 Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) A = £270m since 1992. I'm not a "Premaphile", its just the data is a tad sketchy before that. I doubt its over £280m in our history. Man City's bench against Spurs cost £362m, so nearly 100m more then we've ever spent. #letsstoptheknickerspillages Edited August 23, 2021 by spencer 1970 brain fog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ssshhhhhhhh...................... they got rebuffed from Newcastle so they're looking elsewhere alright. Keep it quiet though - a nods as good as a wink to a blind bat.

I mean, did we really pay over £1.1m for Conor McGrandles? And over £7m for Wildschut? There is no accurate source for calculating total fees, paid or received. It is all guesswork.

From EDP "The Dutch midfielder was the last big statement of intent from Alex Neil, in the January 2017 transfer window. Neil limped on for another two months but Wildschut to this stage hardly looks a lasting legacy to cherish - albeit the headline sums bandied around when he arrived from Wigan on that particular deadline day are well wide of the mark." "By his own admission, Wildschut never delivered the quality City fans were expecting after his £4million move to Carrow Road. Although the deal was reported at being worth £7m, that figure included add-ons that were never activated." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewNestCarrow 290 Posted August 23, 2021 "worth up to £1m" I wonder how many of the add-ons were triggered by his 13-minute Norwich career? Falkirk's previous club record was £460k. The minutae is irrelevant. Transfermkt is the Wikipedia for football but no evidence or sources are required for the info they publish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 6,378 Posted August 23, 2021 At a tangent, a bizarre 'story' in the Mail about how covid hit the finances of EPL clubs in the 2019-20 season, which includes this spectacularly wrong 'fact': Each club, aside from the three teams who had been promoted to the top flight for the 2019-2020 season, saw a drop in revenue. The 17 teams lost £618m combined. Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Norwich, who all benefitted from new lucrative TV deals, were excluded. They recorded respective profits of £59m, £85m and £122m. We had turnover, ie income, of just under £120m and made a pre-tax profit of £2.1m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,950 Posted August 23, 2021 Come on Purple, when you've been in business as long as we have, there are enough "leaders" out there that interchange revenue for profits to suit their agenda. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I'll not estimate with an actual figure for fear of a lawsuit. As you were, I'll not take this to court as I'm worried you know my ex wifes divorce lawyer. He was called Mr Pedanti if I remember. Edit: Norwich have spent somewhere in the region of 1/4 of a billion in their history. Approximately £100m less than Man City's bench last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
