the thing with budget is that what was, may not be what is.

there have been persistent but admittedly unsubstantiated rumours that we couldn't pay the wage bill last month. IF that's true, and the EFL stepped in, we may be under um-bongo anyway.

even if it's false, the fans situation and no rescue package must = all hands to the financial pumps. don't forget playing kovar could=less to pay man u - if Wellens is to be believed regarding the Benda deal...

I guess we may be below the wage cap, but until we get investment....

Whilst I think that the keepers have been rather exposed by the defence at times, and that putting fairly rookies keepers in such a position is/was a failure of management which must lie at Wellens door (I still wonder whether the whole Baxter/Kovar thing was him doing a favour for someone at Utd), I don't disagree it needs sorting.

In terms of getting in an OOC keeper, I don't recall, did Doughty bugger off pre or post window shutting as if it was afterwards that would suggest there must be some wriggle room in budgets to pay someone at least until January?
Doughty quit on 12th September, so before the deadline, freeing what was obviously a huge chunk of the budget.

I have it on good authority the players WERE paid last month.

Extreme cash saving mode is putting it mildly!
