"the Scottish market - as well as loans and frees - expected to be high on the agenda"
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...citys-14740995
As much as we need to be sensible, I really do hope this is more poor journalism from Wales Online. I think we need to spend at least £35m to give ourselves a proper chance here, and with the money available now compared to a few years ago, as mad as I may sound to some, £35-40m still comes under the 'sensible' category for me.
If only the club lost £68m of debt as was promised in Feb 2016. oops we're supposed to forget that right?
Sensible answers like "Why do you care?"?
It's a thread about Cardiff reportedly being hamstrung in the transfer market, it seems quite on topic to point to a possible reason for that but the paranoia that festers in this echo chamber interprets that as an attempt at derailment. :hysteria:
Like we are going to inform all and everyone exactly how much money we have to spend, laughable really, Warnock will have what he wants within reason
Which way do we think would get us the best value from our signings?
Coming out saying money is not an object like the Fulham owner or
We only have a rather modest budget like stated in this article?
I know what I think.
That £200m is over 4 years mind.
If we spend £30m and then double our wage bill up to £60m (lower than Aston Villa in the championship), then there is virtually the £100m for the first season gone, and you are carrying a £60m wage bill down to the championship, and you have to start cutting again.
.I expected us to have the lowest kitty in the league, but, that would be about £ 10 million less than any one else last year if I remember rightly (maybe I don't?) and the amount spent increases year on year as a rule. My first thought on reading that was to think "good luck, Mr Warnock, you're going to need it" - maybe they meant Scotland when they were talking about us targeting players with Premier league experience?
On the other hand, did you see that article I posted on here a few days ago about Neil Warnock and dickhead journalists?
I mean, I know he got burned last time, but that is ridiculously low
We could spend money in a different way ,by recruiting better and more scouts , both UK based and European, grab better youngsters into our academy , improve our marketing department to enhance revenues , we should see this a s a 5 year growth business model .
I think our team deserve a go in the premier league. There are plenty of 10 million players that make no impact at all, spending X amount guarantees nothing.
Is that 20million on fees or 20 million on fees and wages increase? Ah well even if we spend nothing at all it'll be fun, and then we hopefully wouldn't have to spend 2 years of Russel Slade next time to put us back on the right track
Will put onus on scouting, coaching and tactics if true. Walesonline article suggested we're strong enough to work that defensively but we saw we might need more going forward.
