My biggest gripe is the fact we have brought in £14m and spent nowt. Whatever shit is going on with the owners, that money is directly generated by the club - Brooks came through the academy, Hamer was bought when we got promoted and sold Berge/Ndiaye.
Even half of that figure would be a fucking start.
Owners are absolute c*nts.
We have got to make up for a shortfall in income due to parachute payments.
It does cost a few for loan players and expect we will see a few come in.
This summer was never gonna be spendageddon.
Big however. And I was thinking this other day.
When you actually look at our spending over the past 4-5 years it's interesting reading. I can only assume wage bills make up for alot of it. And I know they do.
But normally there are wage reductions upon relegations that also compound with each year we do not get promoted back to PL.
But fee wise when you look at ins and outs since we got relegated in 2021 our fees in Vs fees out is fairly even. Even more so if you look since we got relegated in 2024.
And what I'm getting at is. Even upon promotion in Hecky season we didn't really spend much on fees at all.
Wages should be offset with PL money and parachutes. But I ain't a football financier.
Be interesting to see what actually happens now we are in the crunch of the window. My guess is a few loans and a free. Possibly a transfer a wee out the blue but I doubt it. (Not Souttar)
And some outgoings but I am not expecting a key player to go aside from maybe Burrows if west ham are interested.
Think the Peck interest may be gone for now and we might want a bigger fee than many clubs want to pay.
