I'm sorry but £13.5M? What are you on about?Think your views may be a little miss guided.
it was well reported the Allams set a budget of around £16m - £18 for Bruce.
Bruce left, a new bid came in and dealings put on hold.
a "joint" agreement was reached as both parties knew the club needed signings or the club's current value and likelyhood to stay in premiership was in doubt.
Out net transfer outlay is £13.5m, forgive my maths but isn't that less then what the Allams were going to put in???
The new owners are not "happy to put money into the club", why would they, they don't own the club yet!!!!
Mason=£13M, Marshall=£3.5M(Undisclosed), Keane=£1M(Undisclosed), Weir=£1M(Undisclosed), Henriksen=Loan(To be converted in a £5.4M deal).
So the numbers are at £18.5M even without the conversion of Henriksen which is apparently a formality so you really have to class as a nailed on commitment to spend.
So the final number is £18.5 (£23.9M).
