Thailand tour worth £10M in gate receipts and merchandise. P&S sorted

Wages and we have 7 forwards. Something has to give with the current Financial situation unfortunately

TransferMarkt site needs an update by the looks of it then. Iorfa’s is down as 2019 but I’m sure he signed a 3 1/2 yr deal didn’t he?

Rhodes is 2020 as well. Reach, Van Aken along with Bannan, Joao, Lees & Thorniley are all 2021. Not sure about Iorfa wildsmith is 2022 and that’s the current squad accounted for I think Source: TransferMarkt

Good spot @1993swfc It shows SB has the right connections and will attract signings where an unknown foreign manager may struggle. Overall he’s built 4 promotion winning teams so says it all. Whatever he decides we must trust his judgement. The transfer policy also needs take into account that at the end of 19/20 season we have another 12 players out of contract (according to Transfer Markt) Fletch, Forestieri, Nuhiu, Winnall, Pelupessy, Hutch, Dawson, Fox, Stobbs, Penny, Baker, Kirby...not sure if those are all accurate) so do we start offering anyone new contracts, sell whilst we can or release.

The first year in the Championship doesn’t make good reading: (McCormack £12M, Hogan £?M, Kodija £15M, Chester £8M, Tshibola £5M, Elphick £3M, Gollini £4M, De Laet £2M, Hourihane ?, Bree £3M, Lansbury £2.75M, Adomah £? plus afew others. Second year was Terry on a free, Whelan £2M, Elmohamady & Samba with loans of Snodgrass, Grabban, Onomah plus a couple of others. This season he bought McGinn plus others & loans of Abraham, Hause & Bolasie

First time SB got Dull promoted in 2012 he spent £5-6M on the likes of Meyler (£1.5M), Proschwitz (£2.5M), Stephen Quinn and freebies such as Aluko, Faye, his son Alex and used the loan market for Elmohamady, Amos, Stockdale, Robbie Brady and Boyd. 2016 he spent a similar amount c£5M and recouping nearly £25M as they had been relegated so sightly different circumstances but as a previous post mentioned he signed the Clucas, Odubajo, Ryan Taylor, Maloney, Diomande. Brum first time round was slightly different as he joined before Xmas but spent over £1.5M on Vickers, Kenna, Stern John, Damian Johnson, Tebily. Brum’s second promotion was after a season relegated from the Prem. Again he sold c£24M worth of players (Heskey, Pennant, David Dunn, Upson,etc) then spent c£13M on Cameron Jerome, Neil Danns, Stephen Clemence, Rowan Vine, N,Gotty & Jaidi, McSheffrey and loans of Muamba, Larsson, Bendtner & Andy Cole. So overall a range of players bought in to mount a challenge (young to old, unknown to proven, British & Foreign) and use of the Loan Market. Also demonstrates he’s had to rebuild sides by selling off the best players to manoeuvre in the transfer market.
