Certain they said the aim was to be self supporting. You're right, with FFP it's pretty much impossible for owners to pump in money that they've no hope of getting back.......well, unless you can hide it under the patio for 5 years then it's perfectly within the rules.

Our shirt and stadium sponsorships are up for renewal soon, right? Would have thought with a team semi-regularly getting into European competitions, the income from them could be justifiably higher.
That_Dude Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 40-50M plus anything we can from eventual sales. Spending big this summer would be ideal but I just can't see it happening. Hopefully the scouts didn't have a half season as a bad as the team.
themightyfin Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Net spend will be between 0-10m i would think. Hardly any clubs will be buying.

I don't think we'll need to spend massively on players just to keep up with the other top half PL clubs (as they most likely won't be). ...rather strange way of looking at this!!! Upgrading the stadium now would make little sense, the revenue we would receive from more gate receipts is nowhere near the monies can could be garnered by qualification to the Champions League. The monies for the upgrade will be from our final position in the league a top 6 finish would give us the finance we would need in order to meet the stadium requirement. An investment in the squad this summer, especially a pacy Right Winger would have more or less alleviated the problems we encountered this season with deep lying teams. Any investment in the ground, against investment in the squad, at this moment, would be foolhardy.
GingerrrFox Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Loans and Free agents are realistically where we are looking unless we can shift players which is looking less and less likely. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again but the below are very real issues: 1) New Training ground 2) Us still trying to comply with FFP 3) King Power being severely affected by COVID-19
coolhandfox Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 I think there is some value to be had in the free transfer and loan market. Hopefully we can see some more Academy lads breaking thought and improving the squad that way!
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Lot of European clubs quite skint, could be interesting to see how it works. The PL clubs are generally quite financially secure. Valencia have put their whole squad up for sale
KFS Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Slap a huge King Power logo on the stand at the new training ground and price it up at 300m. Not like it hasn’t been done before

Not many leagues have a TV deal like the PL, having no fans will effect some clubs massively!

And if what you're saying is true, which seems feasible, then we'll look at cashing in on Chillwell, so assuming we'll have room to spend a little within a deflated market.

My point being no club is going to pay what we want for Chillwell in a deflated market. The Maguire money went on the BR contract and agents fees took half of that and we would not have got all the money up front anyway. Your not going to see any of the Maguire money.Its done. Frees and loans are going to be 90% of the transfer business in the market this year i would think and we will be no different. Clubs will be concentrating on securing players on long term contracts rather than risking money in the market i would think. Our net spend will be minimal.
volpeazzurro Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Without Champions League football I think we'll spend considerably less than people think in the current climate. I think we'll treat the Europa League no differently than the League or FA Cup as a top Premiership position will again the main objective. I would suggest that even including any sales money, we won't spend much north of 50m. Without sales about 25-30. I think a lot of similar size clubs will be reluctant to spend big as there is a very real possibility that football will be halted again and revenue streams will potentially be lower.
Jattdogg Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Not enough to be top 4. I think this off season will show how the big clubs will spend large and further run away from the other 14+ clubs
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 Just as long as you buy before you sell big. We will be quoted silly money for cross if we've trousered loads from the bromance twins

foxile5 Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 If we can get some money back on Silva and Slimani that would bolster the coffers. How have they done in Monaco?

Heymister2015 Posted 20 July 2020 Posted 20 July 2020 On average we spend £80m during a summer window. I think that plus £20m by getting rid of dead wood hopefully! Then the fun begins. We a quality centre back and two quality wingers!!
