Mostly subsidised from outgoings from the previous year. Bakayoko and Biamou departing probably roughly covered Gyokeres' wage increase as a result of his switch to becoming a permanent player. I've already mentioned Bidwell - his wages initially would've been covered by outgoing loans in Jan...

I think SBB was suggesting if one were to be sold then only their wages would be able to be used to bring in replacements.

Pretty classless if that is a joke.

At the start of last season we had Mason, Jobello, Kastaneer and Bright on the books which would've been factored into that £15m - all of which have now moved on and therefore would've likely covered Bidwell's salary for this season and more. I doubt the signing of Waghorn, as well as increases...

£17m would be my guess - including all staff. If it was £20m, that would equate to every player at the club being on £15k pw.

I meant with regards to transfers.

Well clearly not if as is being suggested any fee likely received won't be given back to Robins to reinvest back into the playing squad?

I'd imagine that's more down to the fact that he knows it's going to be incredibly difficult to move players on without shouldering a significant proportion of their wages.

£2.3 EFL loan due in a year I think and £4m losses (largely made up of interest owed to SISU), Ryton pitch improvements, increased contracts for Hamer, O'Hare, Godden, Hyam and Allen - the latter of which have been stated as being unsustainable for the club to pay, instalments on Sheaf and...

Such a ridiculous arguement. A small amount of extra investment in the playing squad doesn't equate to the club plunging itself into crisis. We're asking for the majority of what the club makes to be kept within the club and reinvested back.

The difference is that we knew we had at least some finances available for that summer despite Covid and all the challenges that brought due to Sam McCallum being sold 6 months prior, as well as the inevitable sale of Callum Wilson in that window, and the increase in revenue from the...

I'd imagine Robins will want any incoming wingback to be able to play both LWB and RWB.

No one is saying it's going to be as bad as that. Also, as per usual I'd imagine the club will only be active in January if they're successful in moving players on.

= Sheaf, Walker and Ostigard also signed on that summer. And McCallum but he was obviously at the club the season before.

No you can't, but you can assess the current situation we're in and come to a fairly sensible conclusion that it's not particularly positive. I'm sure there will be some more incomings but based on the above it's quite clear Robins is going to have a very difficult summer - likely far more so...

It's not really all rumour and hearsay though. EFL loan looming, outstanding loan/interest payments to SISU, bonus payments to players and staff, Ryton pitches, previous transfer instalments to pay, overheads to cover. Then factoring in a number of players on significant contracts that either...

I'd love to find out when he was ever in the know.

This is the same mentality as a section of the fanbase had in the summer of the 11/12 season and it's quite worrying.

This is stockholm syndrome at its finest. If we're relying on a massively inexperienced Howley and Eccles who seemingly regularly misses significant chucks of the season through injury, then we're on course for a very difficult season.

Eccles also quite clearly has a pretty severe injury problem.
