How many times (re transfer budget)

Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:40 pm

I've seen about 50 posts now saying " if we spend 18 million on 2 players that means we only have 7 to spend" The £25 million budget was only said in an interview its not set in stone !If we are spending that big on 2 players I can imagine the budget being a lot bigger.Stop worrying about the transfer budget and enjoy the calibre of players we are trying to sign :ayatollah:

Tan played it well! if he said 'we have £50m to spend' then player prices would double! you never go and tell the people you're buying off 'i have x amount of money' because they will demand as much of that as possible!

Vincent Tan told a BBC Wales journalist that it would be in the region of £25m. He also said once that we weren't changing the colour of our kit

There's a pattern emerging

its just common sense! if you're buying a car off someone and they ask what your budget is you dont go saying 'aww i got £10,000' cos they'll want it all! good plan by tan tbh

That's what I was saying, that people take what tan said as being gospel and we have 25mil and no more

When tan was throwing a ball park figure out there, to stop the questions and not be over the top and say 50mil when that could be what he is prepared to spend

i know haha! doesn't take a genius to figure out what he's doing, but he played it well coming out with the budget as soon as we got promoted, to let the other teams know what we 'supposedly' have to spend when all attention was on us when we beat charlton!

He has played a very clever game, but I guess that's how you become a billionaire, not through being thick
