We’re a a global brand, owned by the largest sports conglomerate in the world, which is itself owned by one of the ~100 richest people in the world, making top-of-the-table money in by far the richest league in the world. We’ve spent as much as anybody in the last few years and we haven’t even made any Champions League money. We absolutely can afford wages like that.
