A lot of dough, but when you consider we have 4 young and exciting English players in Omari, Johnson, Delap & Greaves for an average of £12.5m per head it feels like good business in this market. On a really bad day and having your pants pulled down you get the lions share of that back I reckon, if needs must.
Players you would think will have the potential to keep learning and developing under McKenna, and hopefully prove themselves capable in the premier league.
Still a few more to come I imagine. Exciting times. |  | | |  |

How much is up front? How much is this season? How many years are the payments spread over? Are the figures quoted in the press correct? Once we know this then how much we have spent will be known. |  | | |

I would assume the figures quoted in the press are broadly correct.
£50m seems to be the upfront, perhaps another £10m in add one but I would think a lot of that is contingent on survival.
5 year deals so far, so £10m into this years accounts + signing on fees / agents fees etc. I’m not too concerned about financial fair play head room, I think there’s plenty of that. Just thinking in ‘real life’ how sensible the fees are and by todays standards I think they’re relatively prudent picks ups with more upside potential than down, while also strengthening us for the here and now. Now over to McKenna and his team to unleash their obvious potential. [Post edited 13 Jul 2024 11:15]

Makes you question why multiple other clubs have got promoted and spent very little in comparison. |  |

Because spending money still doesn’t guarantee staying up. Burnley spent a lot of money last season to finish below Luton. Some like Norwich know that Championship is their level and are happy to get promoted every now and then to top up the Delia’s sherry fund.
What we have done is signed players who have another level or two to their ceiling, rather than seasoned, but perhaps less motivated PL veterans.Even if we were to go down, we wouldn’t be stuck with a load of players on 100k a week like Weeds United. | | | |

We're taking a risk, but it seems that the strategy of Gamechanger & their co-investors is to try to establish Town as club who can stay in the PL, like Brighton & Brentford, rather than be a yo-yo club. If that works, that will create far more value for them (and be more fun for the fans). McKenna's signings so far look promising - the kind of players who could be sold on for a decent profit, rather than recruiting old sweats to do a job. However, our season will be defined by whether they new players are good enough & if McKenna can integrate them successfully into the squad. I'm sure we'll also see a couple of loans in before the window closes. |  |
