Did MA actually say "we're very, very well protected" in relation to Delap? Reading the articles at the time it feels a lot more like a overarching comment relating to the owners etc than the Delap deal in particular - even though most outlets did report it as being about Delap.

Yes he did or words to that effect , but I guess a 10 mil profit is not to be sniffed at , I’m guessing it’s better than being reported ……time will tell . |  | | |

Surely we can include additional bonuses in - if not it’s going I be a bad piece of business at the end of the day!
Especially as city get 20% |  | | |

Prior to this season, what was our record transfer fee received?
Whatever profit we make is likely to shatter that figure alone, isn’t it? |  |

We need context. Figures are seriously inflated these days, but that’s the market, it’s why £30 million (if true) is such poor judgement. If we celebrate it as you rightly point out (as a record sale and decent profit) then we still need to accept the context. It’s £20 million below market value, and we also spent £120 million net…, we can’t just keep pretending we didn’t spend more than every team in the prem excluding Brighton. We spent not only more than we ever have, by a huge multiple, but more than any promoted club ever has too.., it’s hard not to conclude we bet the farm on staying up, a champions league contract for the manager; champions league levels of investment.., it seems MA didn’t factor relegation in recession making, which is odd at best.
I can’t imagine KM has much of a relegation downside either, when we blew Brighton out of the water financially. He wasn’t in a position where he needed to agree a big downside.., at least he’s been poor enough that a new deal in reduced terms is realistic. Could be a busy summer. The only signing I hope we make is in the boardroom, and around foreign talent ID., essential if we have ambitions to be a top club. | | | |
