How much will we spend in the summer? (7 Viewers)

[DawlishSkyBlue]

Some questions id be interested in opinions on...
How much will we have to spend in the summer if we are promoted?
And what would it get us?
And would Lampard go in for any of his ex players? Abraham, Tarkowski, Chilwell, Harry Wilson for example

I'm not sure about the numbers but I'm assured it will be oodles and oodles of dosh.

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.

It will be an amount that causes some people to question King's commitmentto our survival, as well as his parentage, while convincing others that he's being utterly reckless.

We will need circa 8-10 players would expect, should we go up - so well in excess of £100m

looking at sunderland last seasons itll be £100m ish, i doubt we'd sell any of our starters tho (fingers crossed anyway)

I can see 3 interesting options amongst the many.

One is to barely spend a penny (in PL terms), expect to come down, and have a secure future. All those years of Sisu have scarred me, so this is probably my preferred option.

On the other hand, King could spaff £50m - £100m on the hope of staying up. Expensive risk, and we've been there before (in relative terms).

Third choice is Doug plays the game and tries to sell up and make a profit. Probably the long-term plan anyway. But if he sold to some Saudi fund, or some American egomaniac, I don't think I'd enjoy it. There's something about the struggle, about being the underdog, about trying to beat the odds that really appeals to me.

Lots of other options in amongst it, but those are the 3 that stand out to me.
