That’s before this window. Wonder what the ratio would be like at the end of this summer? Still not near 90% though I guess.
seems like they’re giving teams a virtual free hit for a few years then? Might explain the timing of Enic’s 150m. I’d have thought now is the time for Saudi Sportswashing Machine to splash their cash as well before these rules get “serious”.
We won't really know till the next financials come out. They've got rid of the likes of lacazette and Aubameyang, who had high wages. But brought in more (this summer and last).
Think (as you say) this is a last ditch attempt to get in the champions league, if they don't their spending might be limited a bit going forward.
