That's hypothetical because to spend what you think we need to spend, and that will take our income for the year. You then have to find the money to pay 50k a week per player. The monthly bills including wages would be in the millions. Who pays them unless we get extra funding.? So no, I'm not...

Ipswich are away to Millwall. What we need is a result that matches those below us. A win would be great but let's get through this illness thing with the lead intact.

They will also have a better idea of funds available and I can't see it being 100m + and a massive wage bill on top. We're already running at a loss without spending every penny we receive for promotion on new players and a massive wage bill on top unless we get a massive cash boost from...

So are the Leicester players that didn't do as well as expected and nobody is willing to take them on after they got relegated.

Try asking the question to those who want us to spend 100m or more buying players without considering the wage bill and what our finances could be. I haven't managed to get an answer so far.

We have solid home form. Their away form isn't good. If they don't beat us we will have a big lead over them with 22 games to go.

Which is my point. If we spend 100m on signing players our wage bill would be massive. We get about 100m for going up. And I will say it yet again. We don't know what our finances are. We don't know if we would have the funds for it.

As long as we're not stuck with several players on massive wages and go straight back down without being able to shift them out again.

It's not me wanting to spend endless money without knowing what we can afford to spend. What I have said is we need to be wise with what we spend. We need to add to our best players.

Who are they and what wages would they be on?

Ask Sheffield United. Ask Leicester. Get stuck with players on big money and you're in trouble. Spend too much, get relegated again and don't go straight back up and you're in trouble.

I'm happy for us to spend whatever is affordable. None of us know about investments in our club and what we will have to spend. But after going through the last 25 years I don't want it to happen again.

You said nobody was talking about spending all the Prem money plus parachute payments all in one go and I quoted you on that plus where you said about spending that much. Now you've changed what both of us have said. I said we need to be wise with the money. We need to keep our best players and...

Spent well over what they received for getting there and are now a mid table Championship side that needed us to have a player sent off to get a draw.

How much do you think we should 'speculate'? Sheffield Utd and Leicester are the latest to try and fail. This season Sheffield United were reduced to League 1 loans after selling their best players and Leicester look in a right mess.

So how much for the 4-5 20m players and the rest to take it up to 10? How much for the wages as they won't play for free.

Which is exactly what we've been saying. And no 20m+ signings unless something like a top goalscorer then less on others. Spread the money around and integrate with our best players.

So who has said about maintaining our squad at our current level and doing a Luton? This is from Ipswich While relegation is undoubtedly disappointing, the single Premier League season brought in over £100 million in broadcast revenue, along with guaranteed parachute payments of around £48...

You've already reached close to 200m in transfers and wages. How much do you think promotion is worth? What happens if we do a Leicester or similar? You will admit yourself spending an astronomical amount guarantees nothing.

So less than half a side for 100mm and then buy another half a side or so? What wage bill would that come with?
