Budget just about spent up

[Dare to dream!]

Says Dick Watson. Uh oh long season ahead

[besty]

So injuries to a striker or a CB and we are screwed?
Or does this not include loan deals?

[MartinB]

That has gotta be a load of crap.

[dknward2]

We have a couple hundred grand spare for loans

VSC Official ‏@vscofficial 3m
DW: budget just about spent up. Will rely on loans to cover injuries, for which we have over £200k set aside #drfc

[ad1982]

Thanks for a summer of hype and false hope.

[besty]

Cant believe we aint getting another striker

[dknward2]

Could be a bluff so we dont get ripped off or we could have already spent it but just have to wait to confirm signings

[ian1980]

'Thats the budget spent up'

Where?

What was the budget if its gone already with the couple of signings we've made. I can't believe that we are going into the season with this squad size.

Also, what happened to the signings that the fans would be excited about? Whilst the couple we've got in hav been ok, there hardly getting everyone excited.

[IDM]

Possibly the budget that has been "spent" takes into account signings and re-signings yet to be announced? 

[RedArmy]

Same old bullshit and false hope. £50 on us to go down with us only having 2 strikers and very little defenders.

[MartinB]

So we dont have to pay wages of: Woods, Woods, Woods, Martis, Fowler, Spurr, Sullivan, Blake, Hume, Lundstram, Sinclair & Ball...plus promotion money...plus stadium profit...plus sky tv money....and have no budget....1 signed keeper in the squad?

Like said above maybe making out we are skint to get players cheaper?

If we are that skint, sort out the 20 million basically been offered to us then ffs!

[mushRTID]

How can the budget be almost up on 16(?) players?

Im guessing Spurr was also a high earner.

Unless, they know who else is coming in and included them in it.

Its worrying to me that statement.

[afro goal machine]

f**k me the rebranding of the food kiosks must have come in above estimate

[ad1982]

It's a joke. And those with the rose tinted delusion will continue to masterbate over how the club is run.

[Dare to dream!]

Don't worry team spirit will carry us through!!

Nowt like being positive before we've even kicked a ball in anger eh? 

No one at the club has said there will be no more signings - and the investments are still being considered.  Why do folks think this is the end of the f**king world??????

Because with 16 players and 2 days to go it pretty much is.

[IDM]

This.

Too many folks here jumping to negative conclusions.

f**k me, we don't half have a lot of negativity on here.  Let's enjoy the match on Saturday eh?

[IDM]

Because with 16 players and 2 days to go it pretty much is.

No, it isn't.

We wont have spent the budget on 16 players only plus contingency loans.  Therefore we can expect further signings.

I think even you 'Mr optimism' won't be enjoying it when we are getting beat

[IDM]

Today we signed 3 players, 2 of which were unexpected.  Why not 2 or 3 more tomorrow or friday?  Up until this afternoon folks were spitting their dummies out about the lack of a GK, and now we have one with premiership and champions league experience!

What's wrong with not seeing the negative in everything?  No one died FFS!

Why not say we have further signings ongoing then?

No, it isn't.

We know by now the  club doesn't make the announcements until the deals are done...
