I just think the amount he's talking about ws cleverly thought through...

...enough to get the supporters excited (10 2m players would be a powerful rebuilding job in our current position and one or two of them might result in a significant profit after a year or two to give us a platform for growth), not so much as to be Billy Big Bollocks, but also an amount which is basically what Delia is worth outside of the investment she has ploughed into the club - therefore no chance of her matching it.
