The Everton Forum • Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Brainthwaite can be the asset we sell the following season as hopefully we’ve found the next one in O Brien or someone else, but don’t forget the increase in gate receipts, hopefully higher league placing, possibly European involvement, it is about getting this next phase right, and I wouldn’t doubt Moyes to get it right.I'd like to keep Branthwaite, obviously, but we cant rely on a one-off increase of revenue (one off in that it increases to a new level once, not that it comes back down after a spike).
Our revenue may go up by £30m? We spend £150m and buy 5 players. 5-year deals mean they get amortised to £30m a year.
So for the next 5 years we are in the same position where we cant buy anybody without sales as we are declaring sales that match the increased revenue.
We cant fuck up the first season. We just cant repeat the pattern and hope all will be well. We need one big sale a year (at least) until the FFP rules eventually change.
