Im not sure if this has been mentioned before but just thinking about a few things and numbers and mowbray not rushing to sign players etc..
I think im right saying that mowbray and venus are in full control of the budget and dictate where the money is spent and if wanted to spend a fee etc .. budgets usually start july 1st every year so lets say as a random number mowbray budget is 60k a week (roughly)
So mowbray wants another 5/6 players to join each of these i would imagine being on around 2k a week ? working out 10-12k a week... yes this doesn't sound much but its also now the middle of august so hes had this budget 60k for the last month and a half but only been spending 48-50k a week.. 6 weeks later its an extra 60k in the bank that hasn't been set as per his budget.
Yes not a lot of money if you're man city, but for a club like this where "every pound matters" surely this is actually a big help giving him the funds to afford another player for a season. Or giving him 60k to spend on a player if a small fee is needed to secure someone...
Is this the reason TM has been so calm all pre season about signing players so he can actually get more out of his budget ?
Just a thought
