Possibly...but then again that might not include wages and might be just to bag the player.

With contant revenue coming into the club, the wages get paid on an ongoing basis rather than having 20mill to pay wages for the season

Paying on the drip is the way this club and others like it operates, I agree. If this Kirkby deal is to progress, I'd expect the bean counters to be looking at hacking a great big wedge off the wages bill, which Buster has allowed to rise over the past couple of seasons. I just dont see us doing any substantial net spending this summer...I think Moyes knows it - that he'll have to sell the likes of Cahill (plus A.N. Other) to bring in players - and that's why he's unhappy and not signing a deal.

All clairvoyance on my part. We'll see.
 
I think 20 mill is more then enough! When you consider that would be on top of signing the pieman and gosling etc. Dont forget its another year on the clock for the likes of Rodwell, Baxter, Young Skywalker, Downes, Agard and Kissock i expect a few to break through soon. dont forget we usually take two or three on loan for a season as well. So all and all could be as much as five/six additions to the squad either permently or on loan with maybe a few of the youngsters breaking through!(y)
 
he has shown repeated interest in the lad from brann too, in previous seasons. that could be a deal thats more appealing to the lad since our meetings in the uefa, he didn't exactly expose himself as a bag of shoite either.
 
Considering our bank balance, £20 million would represent a massive outlay on new players. The problem is we're always borrowing off future income, so technically we probably have no where near that amount of actual money.

There will come a time when we cant borrow against the future. If we spent £20M would that be at the cost of someone leaving? Or future borrowings again?
 
After seeing what Spurs paid for the Croation midfielder, 20MM isn't too encouraging.

Possibly one player for 10MM and two in the 4-6MM range then?

Spurs always spend silly money and get nowhere really (minus a carling cup win of course). 16 mill for bent and he'll be on his way next season for ex.

One day we'll probably be able to buy one player for 20 odd mill but I somewhat like fact Moyes has too keep tight on the budget he has. Just means he has to eye talent and get the best out of them, which he's a pro at doing.

Yeah, splashing out of world class is needed and it'd be easier all round, but 1 20 mill player dont make a team. I'd preffer some untainted potencial young talent for around 7 mill than spunking the lot on one player that might fall on his arse.

I think it keeps Moyes on his toes to buy good,
 
Good enough or not though lads, you can only spend what you have and I'd rather us buy no one than take more debt to get more.

If only the club's owners were as prudent as you.

Long term bank debt
Syndicated debt
Private equity funding
Securitisation of future income streams
Securitisation of new stadium naming rights


...makes you think when we'll ever be in a position to splash out.

Thanks Bill.

We can only spend what the fans generate. That's how it works. It's not like they can get money out of nowhere.
 
Focusing solely on the TV revenue we should be within reach of two quality midfielders that would bolster our unit. In fact we should have some spending money left over from the Faddy sale and clearing out wages from the absolute deadwood AVM,etc.

So I don't see us breaking the piggy bank or getting in a bind financially.

Think Bruce said we'd spent the TV money on Yak already.
