AM said at the press conference that he's unsure that he'll get ALL the Young money to re-invest. Which means that the budget will probably be only about £15M. So much for backing the new Manager. He'll have to wheel and deal at the 2nd / 3rd tier level for players. No chance of getting back in the top-six with that sort of strategy. All this talk of £30M is wide of the mark - as AM stated: ''there's no pot of gold''

He didn't talk specifically about finances and certainly not about spending any percentage of the money from a deal that was not 100% done. He alluded to the fact that they would have to responsible and mentioned FFP a couple of times.
I'm amazed, or maybe not that its rumoured Young is going for just 15ML, the fact that there could be a player swap involved thus reducing that further, would just go to show Man U aren't exactly chomping at the bit to get him, in that case Ash needs to look at that, maybe he would be much better of staying where he is and playing week in week out instead of warming a bench.
I still think all is not right with the AY deal, seems to have been going on for far too long

Don't get me wrong - I want him to stay, but only if he signs a new contract, which I can't see happening now. Having him walk for nothing in 12 months would be a disaster.

Too right, because there's no additional transfer money.
