Just been having look at our transfer fees from the last 3 years. Doncaster said before the Earnie sale that the £2m loan from the turners will mean we wont need to sell any players. So lets look at the fees just for this season. There is a profit of £3.4m this season from transfer fees plus the £1.1m that we dont need to pay for Strihavka that we agreed earlier on this season.
So we should have around £4.5m to spend this summer, obviously that is unlikely.
what about maitence work? training and youth development?
cheif exectuvie take few hundred thousand im sure
as mentioned above sadly its not that easy

Would 3 years worth of loans come to about 3.5 million do you reckon ? I do.
The truth is that we have always been a club that buys cheap and sells big.
It's been going on ever since I can remember and thats over 50 years.
Do not believe any claptrap coming out of Carrow Road that claims that any transfer income is put towards new players.
It never has been and never will be the case.
It is a fact of life that bums on seats do not pay the wages so the shortfall has to be met from profits on player sales,parachute money or the much maligned off-field activity.
I think 'ncfc lad' realises there is more to it finacially then ins and outs of transfer fees, but never-the-less its still an interesting post as its nice to see what we actually paid and recieved for players
for those that simply see the numbers don't forget the vast majority of these transfers such as ashton, the money recieved will not all arrive in the same financial period, often its in installments and probably set-off against building costs, other players wages, non-playing staff and sundry costs to name a few

Looks to me like they have pumped loads of money in

Also half the transfer fees published in the press are guesses or the clubs straight out lying. And ever time a player signs a new contract they will get a nice signing on fee, and all the "free" transfers have one off payments to the players so it really is impossible to tell.I do think we have taken more than we have spent, but if you add in the season before when we bought Hucks, McKenzie etc then it might start to even out a bit.I think there will be cash for Roeder, a few million I guess. I also think nearly every transfer fee will be "undisclosed" as it is never polite to go around shouting how much money you have
A lot of the fees were recieved in instalments but you can also buy players and pay for them in stages so it doesn't really make any difference as long as you know you are going to get the money.
