Well the PL rules about annual wage bill increments don’t apply to just us.
They already have Silva, the keeper and for arguments sake Walker. I expect they will or already have released a few from their wage bill but are having serious problems with 1-2 others such as Nasri.
You would have to assume the above trio will far exceed a combined £140k per week.

I expect that as was the case with previous nonsense like FFP there are ways of getting around it other than the obvious one of reducing one’s wage bill. I expect with a little bit of digging around one could find a listing of City players who are still employees of the club, and thus their salaries included in their annual accounts, but who do not kick a ball for them, very handsomely paid players whose salaries are making them very difficult to move on – Joe Hart, Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala.
You cannot even ask a fee for these fúckers.
