They obviously have sources within the regime. I think people don’t want to listen because it’s not what they want to hear and it doesn’t tally up with their view of things. I’ll keep an open mind but as someone said hope was spot on with the lawyer appointment and the Carrick brother appointment why wouldn’t he know about transfers Possibly because nobody from within the club is telling him any facts about a private matter. Eg: ”here’s how much we’re going to bid and in what increments” guesswork at best regarding the numbers (and yes they may guess close) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep an open mind but as someone said hope was spot on with the lawyer appointment and the Carrick brother appointment why wouldn’t he know about transfers The information they get has no direct effect on the club's transfer business. There is no way on earth they are going to discuss their actual budget and transfer targets with journalists and if you think that then you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

STM Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 What Hope was really saying was that the club could do with being reminded what life is like with an injured Wilson. He doesn't really want him injured, he just wants another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have different theories about the budget, etc, but I I can't get my head around why anyone in the consortium would leak our actual budget. Me either but proof is in the pudding so far we’ve been put off/walked away from Diaby, Harrison, sesko, Toney, DCL, Paqueta and now Maddison and haven’t seemed to have bid over £40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 An FFP budget* makes no sense anyway, as different players will effect it in different ways. A 32 year old will have a greater impact than a 20 year old for example, as any money you put into the 32yr old is essentially dead, the 20 year old could be sold in 2 years time for a percentage of whatever they were bought for (either above or below 100%). The odds our owners and their accountants have just went "40 million, aye?" seem canny low. *well you could budget for it, but it would be an incredible complex algorithm, not a single figure.

Mattoon Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The journos have probably been briefed something about £40m but is that the actual pot or is that to temper expectations both of supporters and selling clubs? There could be a number of reasons they've been briefed that or it could be black and white and any additional players will have to be loans, there's only a hand full of people that truly know and we won't know until (a) we spend more than that or (b) the window shuts in September us having spent a maximum of £40m. Let's see how the season starts and where that leaves the owners resolve, also who becomes available as the window gets closer to shutting and clubs settle on their teams and who is surplus to requirements.
