What a knicker wetting set of ****s some of us are ...we've only got £18,000,000?

Maybe, but in a world where £18m doesn't get you Michael Keane, then you have to worry
Yep.What a knicker wetting set of ****s some of us are ...we've only got £18,000,000?
Didnt have you down as a worrier Hove.
Whether we like it or not. If the finances aint good we cant spend a lot.
Well, at the moment, I barely give a ****...but when the season starts. Get me Will Hughes and a striker and I will be happy
I would 100% take Brady and Chester as they were not the players who let us down and would certainly add to the squad. I'd also have brought in a new manager and spend big on other players however.
£18m transfer budget cant be true... Even if it is, its set by the Allams who are hopefully going. Im guessing any new owners will give Bruce a lot more than that.
£18m is what the likes of Villa, Newcastle & Norwich will probably be spending this summer...

We don't need Michael Keane either, so I'm not sure on the point of your point.
This may be why Bruce is rumoured to be off if REhab is staying, and I cant say that I would blame him!
Ive heard we got £170m, £120m, £100m, for promotion. Which is it, I'm totally confused??? No matter what it is out of the 3, with wages going up and the payments spread out over 3 years?, surely we can afford more than £18m on transfers, or we definitely won't be in the top tier too long. This shows that the Allams have no ambition for the club
So we have the 13th richest owners in the premier league, yet we are struggling to get a decent amount of dosh to strengthen the squad???? WTF do the Allams want? Either sell it, or finance it. End of.
It’s unlikely we’ll ever find out how much he has to spend with the Allams or without the Allams – which makes good sense.
What also makes good sense is to leak a low figure to the press. In this climate, clubs abroad or in lower divisions will hold out for ridiculous transfer fees for their players. Perhaps, letting it be known, that Bruce only has 16m or 18m to spend might help us iterate that we won’t be open to paying stupid stupid amounts for players.
Personally, I think it’ll be similar to the last Premier League season and will be pragmatic spending to a degree. If a player of the deemed quality of Diame, Ben Arfa et al. becomes available (as per Sept 2014) for a good price and we’ve already spent x then we’ll probably spend more to get them.

If the reports are to be believed the money been mentioned would more than cover the dosh they have put in. The season after next they will have a football club in League one with no supporters. I also think if they start selling prize assets Bruce will tell them to stick their job up each others arses and walk.
Ahh …the beautiful sparkling healthy spa water of Bath, in Avon

What about Yosser Hughes? I've heard he's after a job.
Or ****ing Emlyn? Although I realise that would really be a bit impractical.
