Not so sure on the hunky dory (and it depends on the loans). We only need to miss out on Song to have taken a massive step back from this year, song and reid go - thats the budget gone to get to the same level as this year. We would still be short of what we are now and our ageing/fading players will have another 8 months on their backs. Nolan, Noble, Downing, Collins will all be creeping (one of them rushing headlong) into the need replacing bracket by the start of next season.bubbles1966 wrote: How much they have to spend, and how much work they have to do, really does depend on the futures of Jenkinson, Noble, Reid and Song.
Nail them all and play the Bosman/loan market well and all will be hunky dory.
Miss out on the lot and we could end up seeing one or two surprise contract renewals for people like carlton as there won't be enough money to go around covering all the bases.
We seem to be playing every season in a very hand to mouth way still.
