We have already invested in the team though...buy on promotion clauses

Giannoulis, Gibson and maybe Quintilla (got to be the best part of 15mill)
Max will be reward with his move for staying with us this year,
The hole left by Covid will eat up some of the last premier league money and bonuses will have to be paid too, even Klose, Leitner and Drmic.
SoccerBot is going to take funds too.

I'm not sure with our self-funded model we are going to have much to spend. I'd guess at a CDM whether that is a hefty loan fee for Skipp or A.N.Other from somewhere else, again a loan to buy.

For me the interesting thing is the young lads coming through...the team is out-performing their development, the higher level meaning it is harder to get game time (because of the physicality of PL), maybe blocking a few coming into the first team and the continuity of our saleable assets (to put it harshly).
