I've put £80 million down but I see this as net spend, I think we will sell approx £20 million of players and spend £100 million on new players

Well what if we spend £85m what do I vote for

£70-80m net. I think we will buy smart not big. We're going to need a considerable amount the the £100m+ income to fund an increased wage bill.

Go £90m

Some serious re-construction needed, 70-80m net - agree with @Macca1987 we'll top up the spending with some sales.

Just need to have Ivan Toney and David Reya knocking about already.

One of the big issues is the losses made over the last two season. The club will surely want to cover that at some point and if not now then when? I know we have players to sell if that becomes a necessity but most of the value is in the remaining length of the contracts and extending contracts affects cash flow.

I'm trying to temper expectations here, if we were to go down we'll want it to be in good financial health that's for sure not with huge losses and players wanting out.

& Noorgard & Mbuemo... I get your point.

Although IIRC, I don't think people accepted their squad as prem-ready other than Toney. If a few of our players stepped up in the way they did (Thomas, Grimes, Rudoni, EMC) & we get lucky with injuries we could stay up with less than people think
