Who cares ? From being slightly (very) pessimistic about the new season, I/we can't dispute that the board have backed the manager & as a group have secured the signings of players that looked at one point to have been slipping out of our grasp. Now lets get the CBs sorted
reckon SHG is right although Kavanagh, Varney, Murray and Powell would have an idea too.
Powell said in May "less than" £4m. Some think that was a smokescreen. We don't know if that included any Jenkinson money or if that has changed since but.....
If the average wage is 2k pw or £100k a year (the like of Pope, Warran, Mambo and Pritchard might be on less, Alonso, Hayes and Stephens on more and we have 26 players currently then that is £2.6m on wages already allocated.
We have paid fees for Green and Stephens. Guesses/Rumours are around £300k each. My guestimate is that we are paying those over the time of the three year contracts so £100k each payable this season = £200k
That makes £2.8m spent so far.
So if we guess (and this is all guessing) that the budget is £3.5m Powell has £700k left to spend but that includes their wages (£150k pa each).
a manager hasn't been backed by the board to this degree (relative to league position) since Sir Iain Dowie was appointed, let's hope it works out a little bit better this time!!!
are there any players we have sold in the last few years who eyeing moves and thus some small sell of fees? magid maybe bailey? any others anyone can think of, look at watford and what they got for ashley young tidy little sum to add a few new faces.
@salad i think Pards was backed quite alot whilst here.
not anything like the same degree - not wishing to sound like an apologist for him but he was forced to sell our two best players - Reid and Bougherra - a policy which has continued until now.

£322,867.05p left for annual salaries
Imo of course
Edit:similar to what HI reckons
Plus a couple of season long loans.
Another question (done to death) is: "who are the owners?"!
