sushimonster85 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Actual article suggests that no one really knows what the budget is, mentioning the 75m from last week but says it's 'tricky'. Luke seems to think there has been a shift from quantity to quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically he is just making shit up to fill article space as Ashworth runs a tight ship and doesn’t go around telling baldy pricks what our budget is.

sushimonster85 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I do think it's hard to try and parse what journo's know what (if any of them know anything). But these past few days have definitely seen a shift in tone, if not in actual figures. Immediately after the season ended we heard the 100-150m figure. Who knows how accurate this was, or whether it did or did not include player sales. Personally I feel like the club is erring on the side of (relative) caution. A budget of 75-100m, meaning instead of 4-5, it's actually 2-3 high quality first 11 ready additions, alongside a resolve to keep the likes of ASM.

Shearergol Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Not convinced £100m gets you 3 high quality first 11 ready additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelrouser Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 New shirt deal is worth £25m (less what we have to pay FUN88), EPL finish is worth £37.4m (£15m more than we received last year), and then there is the Champions League payouts (55% of which is performance based w/ the other 45% coming from our performance over 10 year period (we are probably pretty low among the 32 teams), and television contracts (which are probably still being worked out). Also, if FFP is based on the last three years, we probably had a surplus 3 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U is a global brand with their fingers in a lot of pies, hell they even have a range of Man U Tractors somewhere, Liverpool are also massive with a few seasons europe / CL money etc now and we all know when Man City do. We're just not anywhere near them in terms of incoming yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) '3-4' is perfect tbh. There's only a couple positions where we're weak significantly when the first-choice is out and there's only a couple of positions I think we need a big upgrade in the starting line-up.

I think if we get a left-back, that sorts the CB situation by Burn becoming first backup CB, Lascelles second backup and Targett staying backup left-back.
