Doing business early, the thing here is that, that is probably the average amount they will need to spend on all their acquisitions , if they record a loss then the question is what will be the punishment of the ffp within the premier, unless they know that the league won't do **ck all about it.
They can go for a loss outside ffp because they are not in the CL, just like Liverpool who made a whopping loss last season. But won't be investigated by UEFA , have they not spent ott to get back into a CL, how does that work then?
