Spike 5,109 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I find it hard to believe £15,000,000 has inflated to over £200,000,000 in under 30 years What sort of formula are they using ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 @Cicero I said a while back that clubs statistically spent less on transfers than than they use to with inflation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know but I do know clubs spend less of their overall income on players. When madrid bought zidane for £40million it would of been something like £300 million in modern money and that was a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,109 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If you use simple inflation without looking at market trends the £ has nearly doubled in inflation since 1996 https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 It doesn’t share the calculation but I believe it factors in inflation as well as the huge revenue increases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 301 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 the inflation is based on player value inflation not money inflation. Alan sheared when he was bought was easily a top 5 player off three thirty goal seasons in the hardest league in the world, in 2022 that would cost 222 million if Haaland costs 170m or what Dortmund want.

The Palace Fan 3,409 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The first one that jumped out to me was Boro spending 100m+ on Fabrizio Ravenelli and still getting relegated in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something to do with clubs income has gone up much faster than general inflation and they actually spend less of that income on transfers than they do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 301 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 we need regulations on maximum transfer fees payable as well as max ceilings determined by the teams market size. that will reduce inflated values and cause teams to make the most of capped yearly transfer funds. at the end of each season have like major league baseball. arbitrators determine the valuation of players thus removing scalping fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
