Mattoon Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If Ashley can turn a profit he's not going to invest it in the club, nee fkin chance. One way or another it'll line his rather wide back pocket. Wouldn't be surprised if he found a way to syphon it off to SD. You just have to look at USC to know he has no fucks to give.

Guest chopey Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 We will sell a player at the end of the season and use that money to buy a few more, any profit we make will not be used to improve the squad, remember we already have 2 players joining us from forest in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 We should get the Santon and MYM money at the end of the season too I think, that's about £8m iirc. If HF is right then I look forward to our £70m spending spree this summer. I won't hold my breath though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I expect us to be a net spender this summer but we won't come near to utilising the financial capacity that the club itself can sustain, and that will be the issue. I also expect lots of people will say 'see, he's spent money' because it's obvious that he has to because our squad is ridiculously thin. But the club could sustain more and I'm 99% sure he won't allow it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be a war chest in case of disaster and January requires spending to recover the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be a war chest in case of disaster and January requires spending to recover the situation. Plus we're very likely to account for future wages from that amount too. I can't see us spending more than £25m then claiming the remaining money is required to cover the wages of anyone we bring in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us spending more than £25m then claiming the remaining money is required to cover the wages of anyone we bring in. But they always conveniently forget the saved wages from the remainder of the contract from those they sell. Also I'd be amazed if Jonas gets a new deal so that is another big wage earner off the bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 This warchest has about £50m in it since he bought us yet our squad has been laughably neglected in areas for 3/4 years. There is more chance the club will break even this summer than spend £20m no matter what fantasy theory you hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I wonder what the chances are of Colo and Williamson being our starting centre halves next season. Quite high I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 it'll be the same 30m ish spent on 6-8 players to try and fumble through the season with the hope of unearthing another ayoze or selling a sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good that we've moved on from complaining about spending nothing to complaining about spending £30m. If we signed 8 players for £30m we'd have to be doing pretty darn well to be successful with that 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't really care about the specific number of pounds we spend, if we spend £30m on 4 or 5 players who are good enough I would be amazed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 2 good centre backs 1 right back 1 very good striker 1 very good winger At least 30 million if we want decent quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
