It'll be the same as last time, Newcastle being the the biggest spenders in England bar City or someone, just having an actual manager at the helm doing that is usually helpful. Not having Carr spend £15 million on some obscure French Winger every season (Cabella, Thauvin)

Jermaine Defoe is at Brighton or Newcastle next season, calling that now. I think Benitez will want a hefty signing too so expect a club record deal somewhere down the line for a striker more than likely.

Expected spend is going to be up there in the £70-£90 million range and will finally see us make a deficit season which can't be avoided because we simply haven't got those £35 million players to reduce the net spend this time round given the relegation.

Summary, gotta spend and we have no way of avoiding making a decent loss for the first year.

Forget about that though. The top four race is just mind blowing.

United play City, Arsenal play United right after that. Liverpool can be overtaken with ease should United pass both tests. However, their scheduling is ludicrous.
