The "we need the money" comment is interesting considering how much we have spent, however it may have some truth, nobody knows how we are funding these transfers, maybe its not all upfront (if it was it would be stupid, nobody else does that), so it could be in instalments assuming we make the chumps league/win prize money. Then there is wages, which Platini seems particularly interested in, so maybe we are trying to balance the books, assuming our goal is chumps league qualification.
Everyone assumes ADUG are giving their money away in the MCFC cause, but that's highly unlikely, and in fact they have said its not the case, and they want us self funding, these people make money, they don't waste it.
So Dunne was on a pretty high wage, and maybe, as someone suggested earlier in the topic Dunne+TBH=Lescott ? Maybe Elano+Sturridge=Barry. No doubt we have increased the wage bill, but maybe City have a budget on wages, and that assumes chumps league qualification next year ??
It might be a 1 year plan, but MH has said that we have condensed 3 years transfers into 1, and I guess that means our year 3 target (chumps league) is now a 1 year target ?
These people are not known for throwing money away, so maybe Dunne WAS told we need the money, to pay the wages of others.
There must be a business plan, these guys simply don't piss around with their money.
