I am slowly getting my head around the idea of selling the crown jewels.
I still don't like it but if we are getting £700k+ for DC, I'd like t think that Burnley if true have offered us a similiar or better figure and whatever we get for Quinn we could be looking at anywhere up to £2million hopefully coming in with the majority of it being given to the manager.
I've seen posts on here saying that we should've been looking at bidding for Leigh Griffiths and a few others that Dundee have bought. If these sort of players are good enough then we should be able to buy about 8 or 9 players if £125k as spent on Griffiths is anything to go by.
We have known since the start of the pitch fiasco that McGhee's budget would'e been dealt a severe blow this season. However since then we have a good chance of getting through 2 qualifying rounds of the Europa League. (Well slim chance of geeting past the 2nd). If we can do that and draw a bigger team (maybe Roma) then we can supplement the coffers as well.
Obviously we also need to wait and see what happens with the tv rights before any manager would gte his hands on all that is brought in but it should hopefully be enough to give him a decent wage budget, especially with the others that have left freeing up wages as well.
