Yeah I got £3.8M initially, before any add ons or further sell ons are realised

Do we 15% off the reported €5m euro adds ons if/when there are achieved too?

We get 15% of profit made on the transfer at the time of the deal; thus any add ons achieved will be included as part of the original price we received and any that aren’t achieved won’t be

Add it to the summers war chest, that and Romelle fee on the books should give us a big budget to spend.

Okay I’m gonna pour a bit of water on this cos it’s needed.

Take this year in isolation, yes we can.

However it doesn’t work like that. We broke even ish with amortisation last year but that means we have another year of that amortisation to pay this year. It’ll be the same the next year too, etc

I think we can spend but let’s not go overboard with our expectations.

Doesn’t help when you’ve got the owner telling everyone we’re up there with parachute teams in terms of revenue and plans are promotion.

Maybe that little bit of water was needed because I’m seeing people saying top 2 seems to be the plan for the club.

Realistically what do you think there is to spend? Rough ball park figure?

No idea - and to be honest, I think it’s a red herring anyway. It’s more important we continue to spend well than big.

That is a very good way to look at it! Sunderland got promoted last season buying well rather than spending tons.

Hasn’t helped fans expectations looking around socials media. Add that to pissing the league last season expectations seem very high.

Two quotes from the last few months;

Will Brazier, "How do you manage expectation?" TW, "You don't, you let it run"

TW, "At Knighthead we have a saying. If you can't talk about it then you can't achieve it"

Time to dump the old thinking and fear of failure.

Around £3.8million?

Please can they drag it out for three weeks so we can book it in 25/26?

Suppose it still helps the 3 year rolling cycle for this year and next, regardless.

If it is in the region of £7 million pure profit is still really significant.
