A blend of things.
Training facilities will be one for sure, but if we were to reinvest the money towards upcoming young players that would command a fee in the future, thats another.
We could also expand our youth scouting and development centres set-up to reach a wider base, hell, even encroach into foreign areas youth (Iceland, Finland etc)

I’m not saying we should be spending the entire £7 million on players for the squad but if there was a young player we could buy for say £750k we should definitely be doing that if we have that kind of money.

I don’t think we will though.
I said similarly before, although I think £750k might be starting to stretch it as invariably it would also start to impact our wage base.
But yes, reinvest £500k in an immediate replacement, with £500k on say two youngsters (like Ferguson or McLean) that could be developed.
Funds could also be used to establish better contracts for our youngsters such that we hold on to them for longer should we opt to.
