The budget restraints etc. Makes me wonder if the takeover rumours are true and lewis does not want to put anymore money in before he gets out.
We have been told over and over again funds are there (if you believe them)
Eh. Its hard to do even 1 deal in January. To get 3 done would be absolutely incredible and for all the shit I give Levy, I would have to give him plaudits. We signed a CM and hopefully bringing in a striker and wide forward. 3 positions we needed reinforcements in as the plan re: replacing Eriksen obviously involves not directly replacing him and changing tactics like Liverpool did when Coutinho left. A DM will have to wait until the summer, along with the defense. Just hope Davies gets back sooner rather than later.Add a genuine DM with mobility, power and technique, and it’s a winner of a window. I would firmly start to believe the rebuild is underway.
And there it is.DL still wants CL, and with the limited funds trying to make the digits work, and keep the banks happy...
...Don’t blame DL here, as his hands are tied. He is doing everything to make it happen....
And there it is.
The banks hold our purse strings at the moment. And this will not change until we are posting figures that include new ground revenues plus naming rights deal. Until then "creative accounting"...
Thanks @Hercules. A full update, greatly appreciated

Really? A drop in the ocean. I guarantee within 3 seasons, we will smash thatWe posted 113 million profits last year didn't we, which was a record profit anywhere, lol
Dont think we will see much better than that
Winner winner chicken dinner !We posted revenues of 450m and spent 180m on wages. theres more money than even what levy knows to do with.
We also refinanced enough of the build to only need 40-50m in bond repayments a year.
Yeah, 2 days before the window shuts. Urgency?I like the urgency from Mourinho, get them in so they can hopefully play against City.
Weghorst would be idealLooks a good player albeit he’s definitely a target man/battering ram. Hopefully we can come to an agreement with AC for KP as he’s got the most about him out of the three options.
Haha yeah, very valid point! IdkYeah, 2 days before the window shuts. Urgency?
Maybe it is a priority but the player he really wants is not available til the summer.Have to agree on the CDM point as we are crying out for someone in that position. If we could get someone decent I think it would change our whole seasons dynamic. Not sure why Jose doesn’t think it’s a priority
Herc is posting what he is told but he is having the wool pulled over his eyes.And there it is.

So far i think in all tje years of ownership ENIC(Joe Lewis) has put in £50 million as a secured loan.
ENIC want to sell the club due course for some 1-2 billion.
Lewis is one of the richest men in the world certainly in Uk, It is most unusual to undertake a billion £ capital project without asking the shareholders to introduce funds by way of a rights issue. In this case the RI wouldbe almost fully funded by ENIC . if they had introduced say £250 million additional share capital which they can easily afford they wouldnt have had their hands tied by the bank and there would be sufficient funds to enable them tto strengthen the team without bank inteference.
this money would have been recovered by the sale funds,which will be more likely if we are in CL next season.
For the life of me i cant ubderstand why they are trying to do things on the cheap whilst risking devaluing the club by losing CL and TV revenue next season.
Their short sightedness could lead to them holding the baby for much longer then they planned.
Furthermore wher is the naming rights deal whch would have given us the funds to develop the team .
Perhaps Herc can go back to his sources and get these questions abswered
