Anyone else wondering where all this money has come from. I honestly thought we would need to free up 7 players to get 7 in and even then be free, loans or under 500k. Don't get me wrong it's been great having back pages filled with Us signing players and so badly needed. After where we ended up I am paranoid we live within our means. Think we will be a solid 2nd this year with less than 10points off tic and really challenge for 1st next year with a good team well drilled hope I'm wrong and hit the ground running and shock everyone

If these foreign guy settle in quickly there no reason why we can not challenge Celtic all the way next season if you look at it player for player think we should be matching them all the way. The work the bored and Pedro have done so far has been fantastic so it all now depends if Pedro can get them to play as a team and get them to Jel if that happens we will right on them imo.

The way I'm seeing it is that (as per King's statement after the Warburton resignation), the board had a plan not to overspend, they gave Warbs more money than they had budgeted for and he blew it, also brought in the highest earner who he couldn't control. however, this is the boards third season in charge, therefore that's 3 seasons worth of season ticket money. now there's no way they had given warburton anywhere near even half of the season ticket money for his two seasons. Appears that the board have maybe saved the previous two seasons and planned to use more in the 2nd season back after we settled, or they may have just not trusted Warburton with the money and did not shell out last season.
Just what I'm seeing. I think the board have dealt with the finances very well considering the contacts the precious regime left us with.
{Ed039's Note - I think if there was any spare money from previous2 seasons it would have shown in the accounts, I think all season money is being spent and they are either confident of a fair and flawless retail agreement happening or any short fall will be funded by soft loans from investors again)

"Why doesn't the board spend money? Where's King's £30million? "
Board spends money.
"Where's all this money coming from? "
