How much will the new managers transfer war chest be?

[martin tyler]

Well we were going to send £1.2 million on Grabban. I assume that and maybe a little from saved wages. If Ulloa goes for say 7 million then i should think the manager may get half of it. 4.5 tops. if not a million and a few freebies, loans and a few more youth players coming through

We were going to spend that money on Grabban before we were reluctantly forced into selling Bridcutt. I'm going for an optimistic 3.5m plus any money we make from summer transfers.

We've lost some of our highest earners, I would imagine. I am sure there is a substantial kitty involved.

If we knew the exact figure how would that help us because we still dont know what kind of wage transfer targets will expect plus of course the current players that we have .

Whatever has been budgeted at the start of the fiscal year. Nothing more nothing less.

It will be:

(Bridcutt's full fee including the add on for PL staying up + Ulloa fee + Barnes fee - Stephens fee) less an 80% TB/Burke reduction for trying to be good boys on FFP & cover trading losses with asset sale proceeds = not a great deal

Similarly the available wages budget compared to the staff as at c. April 2013 should be colossal, as comparing then to post-selling Ulloa, we will be no longer paying:

Bridcutt
Barnes
Lopez
Ulloa
Brezovan
ElAbd
Hoskins
Hammond
Painter
Vicente
Upson
Bridge
Orlandi
Dicker
Harley
Kuszchak

Leaving a massive saving, enabling some fantastic players to be acquired

Winner of optimistic - but most unrealistic - post of the year

Surely the key is not the transfer fee itself, but what the wage bill looks like come September 1st?

 

[Trigger]

Nothing.

FFP.
