And broadly speaking that gives us what we have to spend in a year. Its not difficult to do the maths thats what we have to spend.In addition to that, you then have the funds generated from player sales.We would look to spend our budget on a small number of high-quality players, rather than dilute the money over so many.Wed then look to supplement this with loans. We want players that can make a difference and improve the team.
