if I new the ins and outs of the financial status at the club Trigger i'd let you know...but I dont...and not many people will!

therefore as I guess I'd say option 2! :)
 




I don't think we will ever be in the position to break the bank to stay in a division. Would you like to be in the position of Leeds, West Ham, Bradford, Derby, Sheffield Wed, Coventry etc?

Mind you without the falmer :shootself

McGhee expects to have "something left" for transfer fees. How much will partly depend on proposed renegotiations with some of the 11 players who still have a year left on their contracts, a list headed by Danny Cullip and Leon Knight.


Above is from an argus report earlier in the month. So a transfer fee is a possibility.

The amount we'll have to spend will be nothing minus the payouts to Chelsea and Stoke for Leon Knight and Chris Iwelomu.
I make that a big fat zero.:nono:
A yes from Mr Prescott will soften the blow :clap:

i would say that any money we have available in the transfer "kitty" will have to be used for wages in order to attract some half-decent players on free transfers.

can't see mcghee having even £25-£50k available to spend on one player when money is as tight as it currently is. as kalinski said, i'd rather not be in a position where our future financial viability was in question if we got relegated because of a huge wage bill.

We will do what Pompey done last year although not on such a classy scale. There wont be any Yakubu's or Sherringham's but I can see a couple of decent free transfers joining especially if we get a Falmer decision (f***ing hurry up prescott) :censored:

We will pay a fee for Big Chris... do we owe something for Leon as well?... wasn't aware of that... can't see much more being spent on fees, but I could be wrong... I just hope Dick has learnt his lesson and loosens his purse strings a little (without breaking the bank)...
