Ours could even decrease with more money from the CL and moving on big earner like Rooney and potentially Zlatan.

True, knew I was forgetting something. Utd's financial power is frightening. If only it was put to good use and no more Fellainis

It's crazy really. Don't recall a club with this much financial power struggling on the pitch so badly.

if it's the year to may 2016 then they brought in 4 highish earners (benteke, milner, clyne, firmino) and only lost one (gerrard)...plus that may include the cost of sacking rodgers and hiring klopp (and his backroom team)

Our (Arsenal) wage structure has been a problem going back well over a decade now. Lots of average players on very high wages while not paying top players their market rate.
We are now paying top wages but still have that hangover of dross on high wages.

Transfer fees are a false figure really.
United paid £0 for Ibrahimovic.
Arsenal paid 32m for Sanchez.
Arsenal spent 32m more than United then, yes?
Ibrahimovic will actually cost United 20m a season in wages though.
Sanchez will cost Arsenal 7m a season over the 4 years of his current contract.
Fee and wages = 60m
Per season = 15m
Sanchez costs 5m less per season than Ibra does.

Now they are spending 95m a year more.
Wages are by far the biggest spend in football, always have been
