It’ll be what ever Randy can find down the back of the sofa. About £1.34 in loose change, a sweet covered in fluff and an expired voucher for a free McDonalds apple pie.

At the moment I'm going to go with between £3-£5 million net, because I'm feeling negative.
Are you Alex McLeish?

Randy to fall in love with the club all over again and give Mctwat £100m.
First signing ...Zigic for £20m.

I reckon 12 million from the club of tv/ season ticket cash plus sales of around 20 million (Warnock, Dunne, Bent, Makoun). So all in around 30-35 million, but about 10-12 net.

So who will be leaving thats going to give us some money, I can easily see Bent not wanting to stay and Gabby wont stay for this manager. Whatever money we have I wouldnt trust it with McLeish.

I think we'll sell Bent or swap him for somebody like Carroll (something I'm not totally opposed to).  I don't think we'll see too many other players coming in after that but I've gone for the middle option out of hope.

That's a very interesting question....did anyone hear Stanley Victor on Talkshite over the break ?? he was saying that he 'knew' there would be significant investment in Villa over the Summer......got me thinking about serious monies coming in from the Middle East....if only

Gabby will stay, I doubt he'll ever leave the Villa to be honest.

I can see: Warnock, Delph, Makoun, Cuellar, Guzan, Heskey, and perhaps Collins and Bent leaving. That should make us able to bring in a fair few decent players with the amount that'll save us from the wage bill and the odd transfer fee.

If the money comes from what we can generate from sales,then it won't be a great deal,unless we sell Bent or Gabby,two players who i wouldn't want to see go. I can see it roughly being the same as last year 12-15,which isn't enough considering how poor and lacking in numbers we already are.

I reckon 10m cash plus sales of Bent, Nzogbia, Warnock and Collins raise 30m  so 40m cash.

I dont see NZOG staying

Hopefully we can finish 15th rather than the 17th McDickhead would be satisfied with then we will have an extra £500.

If we got 30 million for Bent, Dunne, Warnock and NZogbia and had another 15 to spend on top, we should be able, with bosmans, to rebuild the squad to the tune of 10-11 players. If they were mainly 22-26 and had sell on values and decent wages, we might end up stronger, although replacing Bent would be the big test. Get someone who scores as many and links play better following good scouting, then fair enough. I would certainly sell NZog with the right offer though, as Eck is never, ever going to get the best from him.
