What changed ?

I’d imagine we have a list of players at different ages and price points that fit whatever criteria or metrics we’re using.

It then becomes about the structure of the deal and whether it suits us financially.

Werner & Jota seem to be good examples - the transfer fee was the overall same amount - so I can only assume the structure of payments and wages were different - and that’s what got it over the line.

Guess it’s like buying a car on HP or a house on a mortgage- the less you pay up front, the more you’ll pay overall, but the better you cashflow is.

I guess we could elect to pay it off quicker at a lower fee if conditions change.

I’d say, the things that changed were that both Wolves & Bayern accepted spread payments rather than a larger upfront payment.

It’s possible, depending on how the deals for the players we sold are structured - that if we received more up front (which is possible due to lower transfer fee) combined with the incoming player fees being spaced across a longer period - means we’ve balanced this years payments and would hope revenue bounces back in future years.

Wages probably won’t be that different due to the potentially high wages of those that have left. (Including Lallana).

I believe that your analysis on the change is a correct one, although I would like to believe that FSG has final understood the need to release fund and to back Klopp when it is needed, but I fear that It would be too hopefull and unrealistic to believe that this is FSG having a chance in their the core policy beliefs...

Nice post
 
I think the answer is fairly obvious: the powers that be finally listened to those of us who've been saying we need to make signings, irregardless of our financial position.

But irregardless of the reasons, I'm just glad we've got what we needed.
The worrying thing is that you actually believe this.
 
Nothing changed. We finally have the club being run properly where those running it do their business competently behind closed doors.
