Where is all this skint talk coming from? I know we made a slight profit in the summer and left a few holes in the squad but I thought there was supposed to be plenty of funds available for the new manager?

If it was true, how are Everton going to recoup the £35m they're down by?

The financial concerns of Tottingham Hotspurts is area much neglected on this forum.

Well if we've only got 5m to spend i'm not worried. Mr. Gerrard built a title winning team at Rangers for less than that.

Didn't Gerrard say some time ago that we'd be excited at our targets?

i thought that the owners had said that we would be selling players to fund new signings

Do you have a link to their quotes on this?

I don't recall seeing that, but doesn't mean it didn't happen.

We hardly ever see them quoted, except Wes talking about how stats should inform purchases across all sports a few years back.

I dont know any facts - but it seems unlikely we dont have any money to spend. 

i. I'm sure that SG wouldn't have come without these reassurances, as otherwise he is onto a hiding to nothing.  He is manging his career very carefully
b. If so, then the talk about the objectives of the club are clearly bollocks / PR spin - and if so, why do it as they have hightened deliverables to completely ridiclous levels that cant be achieved in there stated timelines.
3. Also, it means SG was completely the wrong apointment, as apointing him neccessatates buying new players - rather than a more pragamtic coach who was able to work with what he has.  Also one of the big reasons was that he would be more of a draw for players
e. If so I would expect to see Lange sacked, as the has overseen the wasting of over 100 millon over the last 2 windows, of which we would do well to have 1 of those players starting regularly by this time next year

So basically - either we have cash / water tight plans to generate it, or Purslow and Lange have been awful at there jobs.

If only we had an expert in that field. What fun it would be discussing their finances.

Not forgetting we had a sizeable lump for the sizeable lump we sold in the summer, we have the PL placing money from 2020/21 on top of the owners' ginormous wealth.

Suggestions we are skint (or close to it) smells like the sort of shite other clubs would wish on us.

Particularly those of the Bordesley persuasion.

No doubt we can't blitz the wage bill and fill it up with 15 players on 100k plus a week (yet).  But that's a different thing altogether.

I think we are past the signing of 3/4 players straight into the first team now
we can’t afford that anyway as those sort of players would be big money

So we need to target 1 or maybe 2 players of high quality who will be looking at starting whilst maybe a couple of strong back ups or ones for the future
Although the future seems to be taken care of with all the youngsters we have hoovered up over the last couple of seasons
