FiNeRaInRoyalee ...Oh yeah FineRain, missed out Academy, which accounted for 5 of our starting 11 last weekend - you could see that as 5 signings.
Nevermind though, don't let common sense and knowledge of finance get in the way of your great conspiracy theory.
If you think your magical list comes anywhere close to adding up to the 20 million we have received on transfer fees, parachute payments, prem tv money, uprising in season tickets ( amongst the highest in the championship) while maintaining a squad for of youth academy prospects not evening pushing 5k a week each, you are delusional.

CMRoyalFiNeRaIn Asset stripping continues- when bikey goes, that will be 11 mill outgoing sales or so this summer- 2 million spent. Madejski having the time of his life for a second season in a row. He should write coppell a thank you card.
We're not asset stripping - we're selling players at the best price possible to better, richer clubs. Remember that? It happened all the time pre-2006. It's the circle of footballing life and we'll be doing again once the new crop have peaked.

Seal I'm not too concerned about any of the sales we have made (frankly ecstatic re: Hunt), and we seem to have got decent value. Would be sad to see Bikey go but he has never realised his true potential.
Having said all that, whilst by no means would I expect us to reinvest all this cash in new players, I would hope to see a little bit more money spent before the transfer window closes.

Royal Rother This is boring now but it is my (and I think everyone else's understanding who has seen the accounts before and up to June 2008) that Madejski has never taken a penny out of the football club either by way of Loan repayments, salary, interest on loans or anything else.
In the wake of the player sales in the last year the "cut the cloth" line might be a little tiresome to some but you can be pretty confident that just those 3 words uttered in public time and again over the last few years will have saved a few hundred grand (minimum) on transfer fees paid out when compared to clubs whose Chairmen have said "all of the money received on the sale of Joe Bloggs will be made available to the manager for strengthening the team".
Fine Rain, would you not agree with that?

did we need to spend money on a media suite? How does the hotel expansion benefit the football club? In what way has the commercial side significantly expanded? Cutting back on that sort of thing may possibly have allowed us a little more room to budget for players. It's the football club I care about, not the hotel ftr.RoyaleeFiNeRaInRoyalee
Let me get this straight - Madejski wants to sell the club for as high a price as he can soon ish, so he decides to strip it of all its best assets to make it worth as little as possible? You sir, are a genius.
No, actually royalee you are the biggest moron on here. Let me put it in simple terms. We've sold our best players. Doyle, kitson, shorey, sonko, hunt, are trying to offload harper and bikey and we've spent a whopping 3 million in two seasons. Where is the money going? Its sure as hell not going into the bank for the next regime to come in and spend on players is it? With 2 years of parachute payments, that much outgoing on players in two years, tv money and two seasons in the prem-- now the fact our wage bill must be minimal as we have a squad full of kids and people are suggesting we have made losses and are on a tight budget, LOL please. Honestly, please.
-Training ground
-Media suite
-Hotel expansion
-Player (Premiership rate) wages
-New signings
-New manager
-Stadium maintenance
-General staffing costs as the commercial side has expanded
-New pitch
Hope this helps, lots of love.

FiNeRaIn Its a good point RR, obviously playing down the amount we have doesn't do any harm in saving money for transfers. But to be honest- I doubt any clubs with a brain would believe it. I think they'd look at our status over the last few years- see who we have sold and put 2 and 2 together. Look at what watford did to our smith bid- laughed it off.
