~50 Million pounds in TV earnings during CL last season ~55 million in EPL for the same along with the standings earnings similar figures through gate receipts and merchandising a decent few million more for the FA Cup win the release of first team players in Drogba (look up and whisper 'legend'), Bosingwa and Kalou which I believe compensated the wages of Eden Hazard and Co If Delloite's to be believed, 191 million pounds worth of wage bills back in '10 season but since then we've managed to let go of Deco, Ballack, Carvalho, Cole, Belletti, Zirkhov, Alex and Anelka apart from the three mentioned before (look up and whisper 'legend'), seriously now, I believe Man Utd are the real pensioners The only real issue is the transfer fees spent since the 1st of June '10 (FFP's DoB) with 50(Torres)+32(Hazard) +26(Luiz)+25(Oscar) +18(Ramires)+23(Mata)+20(Lukaku) and basically a clear 200+ mil outlay apart from our disastrous liaison with AVB on top of our wage bill doesn't look too good on paper but another CL title and a top two finish in the league to show for all this and FFP will mean about as much to us as to Wenger, did a little math on City too, they're in the deep! Yeah, so, the entire point of this post was three-way educational values why we're good even though we spent a hefty 75 mill this season to rebuff those Chelsea haters wielding the enigma that is FFP at us. Later!
