If he gets anywhere near that amount he’ll have made a tidy profit on his 10 or so years at the club I'm not convinced about it, if it was true surely Top on here would know about it and tell us.

He's not got the money to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokes practically a pauper, we should have a whip round Friday night for the lad. The Royal Court of Justice disagrees: In fact, as was established in cross-examination and had become apparent in 2015, Prince Abdullah, though rich by any standards, was not as wealthy in income terms as Mr Mollaian had led Kevin McCabe to believe, nor as rich as Kevin McCabe assumed that a Saudi prince must be. Most of his assets were illiquid. Prince Abdullah’s own wealth was self-made. His principal asset in 2013 was his shareholding in Saudi Paper. Prince Abdullah had himself founded and developed that business. It was worth at that time about US$160 million but declined alarmingly in value in the following years. Prince Abdullah in 2013 had other Saudi and American shares and private equity investments worth about US$30 million net, and owned houses in London and Los Angeles worth in the region of US$40-60 million. In 2013, Saudi Paper declared dividends equivalent to US$5 million, but its business declined in the following years and by 2015 it was not paying dividends at all. This deprived Prince Abdullah of his principal source of income. Edited January 18, 2023 by top4718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you Brewster (it's a pity Liverpool didn't), I doubt Ramsdale cost much, Burke was a swap deal and the others were undisclosed fees which usually means they're being paid in installments. A few signings granted but hardly the signings of a club with a very rich owner coupled with top flight tv money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This link says otherwise as Sky reported £15m for Lowe and Bogle https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12066154/sheffield-united-blades-complete-jayden-bogle-and-max-lowe-signings Or this one stating they paid £18.5m for Ramsdale https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/aaron-ramsdale-transfer-sheffield-united-bournemouth-fee-epl-a9672111.html# So that’s over £56m on transfers including the £23m for Brewster But as always you’ll come back with something to dispute that as well.
