Do you think we shouldn’t spend ?

Not for the sake of it and not whilst we have unsustainable wages on our books, it’s not like they haven’t said this previously.Do you think we shouldn’t spend ?
What rules say we have to reduce our wage bill?

Exactly we aren’t anywhere near 60% of turnover.
I never said you did,you asked my opinion on spending and I gave it. I never mentioned you saying anything, are you just looking for an argument?What I was suggesting was to to spend for the sake of it ?
They have said they are prepared to keep players and won’t be held to ransom.
I’m aware there is still huge wage cutting to be done.
Fact is SD stated we don’t need to be sell to buy, yet here we are. ( having already freed up a lot of wages and generated transfer fees )

Our turnover will be £50m+ the owner reckons the wage bill is about £17m. No chance we are anywhere near our limit.How do you know? We have got Rodwell and McNair off the books but we still have Cattermole, N'Dong, Kone, Khazri, Oviedo and others on big premier league money. McGeady will be on decent cash, McMananan also.
We need to move players on before we spent on more than the odd player and it's not easy given how shit the above are.
Fair enough, we have 4 weeks to bring in people and we’ve only seen these players in one game at start of pre season. In my opinion that is “bed wetting” If we still lack quality on August 4th il be right there with you, until then I don’t expect you to agree with my assessment of your opinion but it is what it is mate.Not at all , you called me out as bedwetter.
I don’t think I have said anything that indicates that.
My request to spend comes for a chronic lack of quality in the squad.

We don’t need to move players on but it’s a sensible approach. Although not sure what happens if we haven’t shifted any in a couple of weeks.
Ross was asked re transfers after today's match and said that the only imminent one was the Asoro deal.He said that he was assuming to get the wage bill around £12m. If its at £17m we need three more high earners leaving. Looks like Kazhri is the first, and a large transfer fee helps.
I imagine Kone will be gone soon too.
Our turnover won't be over £50M. We get about £25M in parachute payments but zero from TV. There's no chance we'll make £25M from match tickets etc. If we made £40M we could have a wage bill of £24M tops. We might be nearer to making £35M, this would only make our wage bill just over £20M. Sign 1 player on £10K a week would add 500K to our bill. 6 would take it over £20M. Then what do we do in January if we need a couple of players?

You deserve to wear the Special Supporter’s Hat tomorrow.I see Coventry City got beat 2-0 off Sutton utd on Saturday...f***ing dead certs for relegation now then!! Some right f***ing missrrable twats on this thread...100% happy with the new owners!!! I am willing to actually see where we are christmas time before f***ing whinging about anything and everything....TITS !!
You'd still expect us to be beating teams in this league to signatures and signing one or two of the better quality players in league one at least. Perhaps my expectations are too high...
Most of the players we've signed have been involved in previous promotions from this division, or have I got this wrong?
