The philosophy over the last few of years has been to try and reduce a wage bill that was unaffordable. There is no £7.5k in the bank, we've been making losses for as long as I can remember.

TM has his budget, he is happy with said budget but like most in this league he will need to release and potentially sell players in order to bring in and afford thr wages of new players. Its not rocket science.

Really? Pray tell, how do you sell loanees? For me it's been get rid of x amount of players then(So we're told) we can use those wages to bring in new players. Now! how exactly are we using what must have been astronomical wages from last season to the point of being 10 players down on last season yet still have to sell to bring in players??? Am I right... or am I right???

A) we havent finished signing players

B) the 5-6 youngsters that signed new contracts will all have had pay rises, add to that other players may have also had a pay rise as part of their contracts

C) we have signed Thomas and sordell and Jones (including fee) and wages will have been committed towards mccann, you could probably also add ghadzev to that too, signed very late with an eye on this season, we probably took the hit on wages knowing that cash flow would balance after the season

D) he isn't saying he has to sell, but more that he may have to sell to get thr players he wants. Hes probably already set aside certain budget for each postion but might want someone better that costs more so will have to compromise or sell to get them.

As hobo says we havent got a pot to piss in, our budget is c£2-2.5m if TM wants to extend that or afford a fee for someone he will need to sell.

We will make more signings before the window closes, stop moaning and stop panicking

Stokes, Vincelot?

I wouldn't say Stokes is irreplaceable. Vincelot would be a huge miss but I don't think he'd be one of the ones moving on

Apologies. I was being flippant. My point is if we have loanees You CAN'T sell them especially when 50% of the 1st team are loanees.(Sarcasm)

it's in danger of becoming an absolute mess, this despite the well meaning efforts of TM & MV,
nevertheless the perceived conceit by bystanders & persons in charge,
is only exceeded only by their megalomania
