First Wizard 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Because after reading old Doomcaster''s words on the pink un, I''m not so sure. Ok, he''s pledged that all monies raised from future player sales will all go Nigel, so far, great. But, what if Worthy has decided that after his latest culling, Edworthy and Co, that he doesn''t want anyone else to leave, and they don''t want to move either, how much then has he got?. Doomcaster''s been very vague in all this, surely there''s other money available to Worthy, other than money raised from player future sales at his disposal, if not, we''re in a right old mess!.

Gentleman Jim 0 Posted May 20, 2005 What he said was Worthy "can spend what he earns", that''s why he''s got himself a paper round in the mornings I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted May 20, 2005 There must be some money without sales. Otherwise why would Worthy have a mini clear out - five have gone or are available. He knows, and we know, that our squad last year was too small, and we ran into trouble once there were several injuries.Surely Worthy couldn''t be so stupid, and even if we can have more loan players in the Championship, surely we can''t have five plus. Or is he gambling on Bosmans?No, there is surely some money available. although not as much as we would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted May 20, 2005 If he dont sell anyone then we will have a team that was just one point of premiership survival. So with confidence and the right attitude i still believe its possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted May 20, 2005 It clearly states that the club have made a certain amount of money avaliable for rebuilding-irrespective of any player exits. Any money raised is in addition to what Worthy has been given. I''m surprised that people didn''t think we would have any money avaliable after a season of careful spending in the prem, 2 years ago we couldn''t compete with West Brom cos they had the parachute money, we are now in that position ourselves.

Campbell 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Did anyone actually expect Doncaster to come out and say "We have £5m to strengthen the squad during the summer..." ?David O''Leary has found out that revealing your transfer kitty is a very stupid thing to do; transfer fees suddenly double in price...We don''t have to sell, that''s the important thing...and if the right player comes along at the right price, we''re in a position to spend.

Fozzie 0 Posted May 20, 2005 The released players free up wages that are now available for anyone coming in on free transfers or loan. It''s not all about buying them out of contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Having made £19.5m this season, we''d better have quite a few bob to spend on players or else a lot of people will be distinctly unhappy, particularly those who didn''t cash in their shares around Xmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame to Blame 94 Posted May 21, 2005 And if you read waht worthy said he said that they are drawing up a list of targets to go for so yes he must have money available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted May 21, 2005 I expect there is money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Sure I saw somewhere Worthington said that he would be able to strengthen even if he didn''t sell/cull.I like the ''spend what you earn'' quote. Will we be seeing Messers. Worthington, Foley and Livermore busking on London Street? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted May 21, 2005 If we don''t have a good few million to spend this summer, I''ll be slightly annoyed. It''s obvious (regardless of what Nige says) that more players will leave between now and the end of the season. If Greeno, Helveg, Doc, WLY and Damo are in a Norwich shirt on August 12th, I''d be suprised. Therefore, our squad is going to be seriously dented. We need to buy quality 1st Div players to get us up again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruddy Good 0 Posted May 22, 2005 Agreed DD, there has got to be money lying around somewhere for Worthy to spend.I dont really think the released players have actually freed up any significant wage bills, i doubt none of them were on that much to be honest.
