So how much does everyone think we'll spend this summer.
I think the outlay will be something like £120m this year, divided over the length of the contracts (4 years) and initial down-payments (£2-4m each) .
T hen there's the loan options to add on top of the purchases.
Remembering that our revenue is about to increase by 30-40%, plus naming rights and any other sponsorship and commercial improvements. Improved youth player productivity, and any other projects TFG decide to invest in, like Nelson Dock and hotel and retail initiatives.

Until PSR is no longer an issue, I think we’ll be looking for scraps still. Maybe one decent signing and a few unknowns to beef up the squad.

Depends who we sell. Literally how longs a piece of string question. As for scraps? I think it maybe more focused on resales as at the forefront of transfers and so I expect some unknowns from far and wide with young 20s profile and 3 year deals. 1 or 2 old heads on the cheap depending upon who leaves and doesn't want to stay and some who leave we do t want anything to do with again.

Ps. I think of all the summers, this is the one where it's all guff until they are snapped in the shirt.

Not sure our new owners will be expecting small steps.

Our new owners will dictate the steps any expectations come from us.
