how much do you reckon we will spend this window
Read somewhere that MM has sanctioned up to £5million.
I think about 5-10 milllion and apperantly MM has put a cap on a wage budget
Can't see us spending £10 million if I'm honest - we can always dream. Just remember it's not football manager. Didn't we already have a cap on the wage budget?
I posted that I'd read an article quoting MM sanctioning £5m, and part of the reasoning behind that is the new rules on transfer spending. So I doubt if we, or anybody else, will be spending much more than that. I believe that clubs now can only spend what they earn regardless of whether they have a millionaire owner or not.
No wot it is mate is wages they can only spend a % of there annual revenue on wages but they can spend wot they want on transfer fees
If you check it out I believe its as I said , Championship can only spend what they earn, (ie - they have to balance the books) and Lge.1-2 can only spend 55% on wages
I can see problems with the above. When a team is relegated from say Championship to L1 the drop in revenue is substantial and you can not just get rid of individuals wo have contratcs for several years. Also is the figure based on previous season or current year? If on previous year we would be a disadvantage as we will earn substantially more next year. Think £2 million alone from TV. Hence I doubt regulations are too strict as would be unworkable.
Tell that to UEFA & FL - its a done deal, we're all signed up to it !
You can release players from contracts
