Ah that old chest nut of his of just going full pelt and spending >£200m a year on wages.
It's all well and good saying, oh they made £40m profit last year. Just blow the load on Bale transfer (5 year payments) and use the rest to pay his yearly wage.
That doesn't factor in having to pay everyone else. Spurs have increased their wage bill by 27% in the last financial year. Their wage bill is still less than half of what City and Uniteds are.
Even if they start paying their squad a similar rate to what Plop are paying - bare in mind that no player a plop earn nearly as much as what Bale does/would - again unless Real subsidise his wage.
Even if we forecast similar commercial growth, stadium revenue (although i'm not factoring in the NFL? or is that going to wembly?) and TV hasn't increase (finished runners up higher payout for these records). They'd be in the red of between £20-30m, have an wage bill to revenue ratio that is unstable.
They then have a stadium to pay for as well.
