    For all the money saved, how much have we spent on Bruno, Big Joe, and likely Isak, new contracts?

    Not saying we shouldn’t, but we’re not suddenly in the money because a few have been moved on.

    Revenue streams have made massive jumps recently, and that’s a product of being seen as a real contender for Europe on the basis of our owners AND having such a sh!t show under Ashley and a lot of low hanging fruit we can profit on.

    the new contracts have seen:
    Bruno - £100k to £200k
    Joelinton - £85k to £150k
    Isak - £120k to (estimated) £200k

    Total additional salary is £245,000 / week

    I worked out that just clearing the players who aren't in the squad at all frees up £377,000 / week.

    £377,000 - 245,000 = £132,000 / week available.

    That's a very good 25-27 yr old striker base salary. Sesko's current salary is £57,605 (converted from Euro) so can offer this young lad a £80,000 / week salary which is a 30% wage rise on his current contract, should we go in for him.

    It would leave £52,000 available for a very decent player. Tosin Adarabioyo current salary = £40,000
