You do get the impression the dynamic of the summer does hinge on Gyokeres moving on from Lisbon or not
Revenue must have been higher than expected but our wage bill has surely also gone up a fair bit with all the signings made. I think any major signings are likely to be financed by sales (or sell on revenue) in the main. This is unless King decides to take a bit of a gamble and invest more, sonething i dont think he has sounded likely to do previouslyHow much extra do we think this season has put into the coffers?
25k plus crowds and the cup run must surely have put an unexpected few million into the bank?
Presumably the Hamer fee went on running costs?Youd be correct
Has King actually invested any money of his own?Revenue must have been higher than expected but our wage bill has surely also gone up a fair bit with all the signings made.

Mason Clark and Torp as well. Probably a bit left but can’t imagine it would be significant enough for big squad changes.
No idea, not sure if it will ever become clear over time either. That isn't to knock him really either, things are going well currently and the club has a much better feel to it now. However, i dont see us spending big sums this summer without some fairly big departures or an unexpected investor coming in like has happened elsewhere.Has King actually invested any money of his own?

Well i dont get the impression he intends to bankroll us in the way teams like Brentford have been so the plan may be to try and strike lucky over these next 4 seasons and get access to the PL goldmine. I think the next few sets of accounts will make for interesting reading.If we’re using player sales to fund operating losses then we’ll never progress.
No business is successful when its business model involves selling assets to plug operating losses. Eventually you run out of assets to sell.
This is why he is trying to drive up revenue.If we’re using player sales to fund operating losses then we’ll never progress.

I’d imagine that was spent in January.I would have thought we have 2-3m even if we don't sell gyokores.
But quite frankly I don't know the finances do i
Where did the rest of the Gyokeres fee go?
Very disappointing if that’s the case.
Why buy a club knowing it’s operating at a loss unless you’re willing to fund the loss?
We’ll need at least one new striker to replace Godden. There’s more chance of Wilson being let go than Collins.With Ephron & saka to come back I don’t think we need any more attacking players. We do need a top goalie I’d keep Wilson as a no 2 and get rid of Collins.
If we could get someone else of real proven quality in midfield we could hit the ground running, can’t rely on sheaf all the time as if he’s injured we’re pretty fucked.
None of us do, but that admission from everyone is never going to start a rash of fights all based on wild conjecture....the forum's forteI would have thought we have 2-3m even if we don't sell gyokores.

I suspect we may be in for quite an exciting summer. King is a businessman. Current squad = touching distance of prem. I think he’ll try and get it over the line.
I wouldn’t say the current squad is within touching distance of the PL. It’d need 4-5 new first team players to be.I suspect we may be in for quite an exciting summer. King is a businessman. Current squad = touching distance of prem. I think he’ll try and get it over the line.
The reason I’d letting collins go is Wilson would be happy to be a no 2 Collins wouldn’t. There is hardly any difference between them quality wise.We’ll need at least one new striker to replace Godden. There’s more chance of Wilson being let go than Collins.

Collins is young and has potential, we’re unlikely to let him go in favour of keeping Wilson who I expect will be released when his contract is up. Personally, I expect Collins will start as our number 1 next season.The reason I’d letting collins go is Wilson would be happy to be a no 2 Collins wouldn’t.

He’s not young he’s 27, I don’t think he’s good enough.Collins is young and has potential, we’re unlikely to let him go in favour of keeping Wilson who I expect will be released when his contract is up. Personally, I expect Collins will start as our number 1 next season.
