Aren't most transfer fees accounted over the period of the players contract, that's how football finance works, especially since FFP.
We've been "on the brink of financial ruin" since the Glaziers took over according to some, while it's certainly true that the ownership means we can't use the full extent of our financial might, the idea that we're on our arse is £#%&!ing fantasy mid 2000's IMUSA propaganda.
Mourinho has now hit peak excuse, hamstrung from buying the player he wants, who no one can identify beyond the handy but limited Perisic and the limited but limited Willian by the penny pinching of owners who have bought him the two most expensive players in English football since he arrived.
