Our finances

Lets be honest... no one knows how much cash we have or where it comes from, do we?

After the Earnshaw, Etuhu, Safri exodus there was a fair amount of cash coming in, and Ashton and Green before that with add ons etc...

Peter Grant didn't spend any serious cash and we were all scratching our heads at the time asking where it had gone...

Since we are often linked to people for a million here or a million there or even more with Ameobi and the like...

We all know that the board and Roeder keep their cards close to their chest in an effort to stop clubs inflating prices (although the Callum stuff blew that! - could explain why transfer dealings have taken so long over the last few weeks...). Could this even be why the take over plans were "canned" so quickly? The board and PC realising that no deal would be done quickly enough to release funds for this transfer window? thus, say its all off, get the players we can afford now in the door at a reasonable price and hopefully make a decent start to the season, then do the takeover dealings when the window is closed?

Alternatively, yeah maybe the Turners do have deeper pockets and longer arms than we are aware of?

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if we are sitting on a little more than we make out... despite not shelling out the extra cash for Tiny and being out bid by Stockport. I reckon Glenn is a savvy operator who just won't pay over the odds....

We'll see I guess.
