whats the transfer budget?

[redhorizon2]

so far the club has bought what it sold. With masher's sale what will be the transfer budget? A new owner will not come in before the trnsfer deadline.

The transfer budget is nil, as any fule kno.

The Benayoun money was used to pay-off Benitez, they say.
We sold Riera for about £3,5 Million

And we've bought:

Wilson £4M
Cole (free)
Poulsen £4.5 M
Jovanovic (free)

The club is in a bad financial state so maybe there never was a transfer budget?
The "imminent" sale is probably the reason. Don't see that the owner/board would want to leak any more money.
Maybe Hodgson doesn't want to spend more money than is necessary to buy the right players. The market is a bit chaotic nowadays.

Early on there was a lot of talk about the budget being 12M + net income from sales.

So we can buy 1/4 of a quality player...
