Really, so how much did we spend on contracts last season?

North of 105M

Even taking into consideration say a 50% drop we are still on the hook for some big money when all we have is para payments and matchday revenue coming in.
We were quick to offload Rashica and Tzolis to loans because of money, plain and simple.

    - We spent a reasonable Premier League amount of money (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 10, 16:54:50
      - Again your claim was we "don't do expensive contracts".... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 10, 16:58:56
        
        Your number referred to the costs of contracts in the Premier League (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 10, 17:01:32
        
        Our wage bill is surely top 6 in the league (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 10, 17:23:37
        
        That might be true, I don't know. But again, it's all relative. (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 10, 17:36:38
        
        Yes, but what happens when the parachute payments are spent? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 10, 18:04:23
        
        I've not said we're prudent in all things. (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 10, 19:18:56
        
        Indeed (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 10, 19:26:36
        
        Yes, we are still getting the same TV money... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 10, 17:10:39
        
        Ok, I tried. (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 10, 17:14:55
        
        I did. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 10, 17:26:48
- Not in our case - they're tiered to what division we're in (n/m) (NCFC) - inutero, Jan 10, 16:32:58
  - Having players out of contract makes planning much easier. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 10, 16:40:54
