How much will we spend in the summer? (11 Viewers)

Even Luton’s wage bill virtually doubled

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.

Exactly. The wage bill will increase massively without signing 1 player. Not sure exactly what some think the level of TV money is but it’s not infinite. I’m sure King will do the right thing whatever the pressure is to spaff millions.

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.

But once on contracts, they have a resale value

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.

The club should put you in charge of summer recruitment. It would certainly be interesting.

Most fans (including me) wanted to pocket half the Vik cash and buy a few £1-2m players. Thank goodness King didn’t listen and knew what needs to be done to get where we want to go.

Exactly, let’s leave King and Lampard to sort out business after promotion. Both have shed loads in the bank to make those decisions.

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 somewhere.

The odds are many are going to have a reality check.

I don't think they'll be handing the reigns to us mate, it's just a discussion!
