Read my post above that one mate
It was always likely to be this way
I'm hopeful we may get some deals done early but realistically we have to ship loads out
We'll get all of that money back to spend on transfers, which is what never happened under Kenwright really, and is the difference between us under Moshiri - as we have a safety net that covers 'other operating costs' etc
He`s only saying what we already knew.
" There`s a load of crap here, that`ll have to go as part of the rebuilding process ".
It`s gonna be interesting, to see if any of the high earning wasters digs his heals in and refuses to go.

Makes a refreshing change from the last couple of years of those idiots shouting from the roof tops how much we had to spend only to be held to ransom by teams seeing how desperate we were and calling our bluff. Even in this inflated market, we overspent on the majority of players we signed under Koeman, save for probably Gueye, Lookman, Sandro and Vlasic, and each of them either came from lesser leagues or or had clauses in their contract.
For what it's worth, I think Allardyce, for his faults, got 2 decent deals, especially if Tosun was the cheaper end of the scale as was revealed later on, some speculating it was as little as £15m plus add ons.
The best thing you can do if you have the money is to spend it like you don't. Apart from the fact that at the end of the day it is a business, it also keeps people guessing and aspiring for more rather than being content to sit on their arses on massive wages thinking they've got it made.
The difference between competing and being taken for a ride is more and more difficult with the way agents work, and so using our last 2 years over extravagance and subsequent failure as a genuine, logical reason behind us not having the money to waste again, is a smart move.

I am sure that 38 players can be whittled down by 10-12 quite easily.
There will be takers for the likes of Klaassen, Sandro, Schneiderlin, Niasse and Besic from abroad. We won’t get what we paid for them but that’s a bullet we are going to have to bite.
The likes of Williams, Martina, Bolasie and Jags will be wanted in this country, do a job for a season in the championship for somebody.
Then there’s kids who can go out on loan.
Sounds like they mean business and will be quite ruthless about it, which is certainly a refreshing change.
Enough of this boys club mentality.

Yeah I've got no problem with it tbh but I know others hoped it was a thing of the past.
I think we can probably all agree we'd rather buy quality players we eventually have to sell than terrible ones we can't!
We have to sell '12' because a couple of biffs acted like kids in a candy shop and bought a load of sh*te players we didn't need
We currently have 38 players in the squad - 38! 20 more than the match day squad is allowed
The state the club has been left in basically amounts to gross negligence
I don't think anybody with any sense thinks we're 'flush'.
We have money, but not tons of it.
We have to be more sensible with any money we have (from sales or investment) than we were last year.
Everybody has been saying it.
Doesn't mean we can't or won't get the quality in. Nobody is saying that. It just means we need to bin 10 off as well.
Not once did I say we didn’t?
It’s sensible to do so.
It’s also reasonable to understand that we aren’t “Billionares” like some of our idiotic fans chanted.
We will be a well run ship and that’s great all I asked for instead of Kenwrights reign of terror but we weren’t sold that were we?

Really liking this Brands already...about time we had someone who actually knows what to do....Big cull ahead..some under the radar signings hopefully...while other clubs spend huge on bang average....quietly confident we may even have quite a different team set up come August..

And Sandro.....goodness knows what we are paying him as he arrived on a free.
I hope you're a part of this cull mate x
I'll go out on a limb here and say most won't budge unless prospective new clubs can match the salaries already being earned. Baines, Jags and Wiliams still contracted for one more year I think. Mirallas 2 years left. Its tricky to shift the likes of these.
Wouldn’t mind if you vanished either fella
