Doesnt seem to bother NESV, supposedly they are buying a baseball player (dont know his name) for $140 million. And paying him ridiculous wages aswell, I'm sure some of the yanks on here will confirm it.
You'd be referring to Carl Crawford. He was a free agent, so there was no "transfer fee" or additional investment in him other than his salary, which is a whopping $142 million over the next 7 years! This also came a matter of days after they signed Adrian Gonzalez to a 7 year-$154 million dollar deal!
NESV are prepared to spend to win.... they will do it wisely, but they aren't afraid to invest in the squad. They are businessmen and they realize that the most marketable squads in the world have two things:
1. Marketable players who sell jerseys, tv rights, and tickets
AND
2. The ability to win trophies
We already have a couple of the most marketable footballers on the planet in Nando and Stevie.... let's hope they put us in reach of the second point soon enough
