Perhaps, but it's been suggested our turnover could increase by £100m pa when we move into the new stadium, so there is really no reason to not start paying our players.
Lest we forget everyone other than Toby and Lamela are on 4-5 year deals that they were more than happy to sign 12 months ago.
Also, I'm calling bs on that Walker story. I was also listening to it, and having read a summary of the Poch version from his book, it just feels like their was a breakdown in communication. In addition, he asked to leave mid-way through last season which pissed Poch off no end, especially as we were chasing Chelsea for the title.
Walker might have wanted to stay but he wanted paying, as well as seeing himself as a senior player/captain. I think in the end a sale was the best outcome for both parties.
