IF and not getting too far ahead, should we get into the Prem, I wouldn’t want us to spend huge amounts! The likelihood of us staying up no matter what we spend are still slim, so enjoy the ride, gain experience and keep the books healthy for a rainy day rather than piss all of our money on big wages.
Which may raise eyebrows but we’re spent around £55m in transfers since 23/24 from £46m in sales.We will need circa 8-10 players would expect, should we go up - so well in excess of £100m
As much as I would want us to stay up - assuming of course that we get there - I am in the camp of those who only want to see sensible expenditure. Let's secure the financial future of the club first, while ensuring that we have enough in the kitty to give us a good shot of promotion in the season following relegation.
I never again want to see us overspending, going into administration, suffering points deductions and sinking rapidly down the league ladder.
We had points deductions mostly because of Sisu wheezes not buying too many players.
They did spend a lot, by the standards of the day, in trying to keep us in the PL and it went horribly wrong when we were relegated. I think that's when the shenanigans started.
