    I am interested to know what you altered and added. But nonetheless I can find nothing wrong with the information you have provided. Has Mrs Curtains got access to your password?

    He definitely fits into the mould of the new approach.  He attacks with the bat and has a little bit more character.  Could be a great swansong for him.
    More worrying is the way we could have looked with a fully fit and firing Broad, Wood; Stokes, Archer type attack and the medium pace stuff we may end up with.
    Aussies definitely favourites for me.

    I personally think Moeen Ali is better than Leach and I don’t see a problem.

    Not sure I said we could? We will have a little more leeway than last year, and if we continue to show we are operating within our means next season I’d expect things to be more normal in 24/25.

    The boring but factual reply to your question would be....nobody on here knows.
    There is a business plan in place, a plan which the details have not and will not be made public, so how could we know?
    Even with those details, it really depends on where that puts us in Warne's mind, he might feel like it's the best budget he's ever had, or feels like it's going to be a struggle.
    So yeah, it's a discussion killer of an answer, but nobody knows.

    The league in its entirety spent roughly £4.5m last season on outgoing fees - Ipswich amount to more than half of that.  I think 15 clubs didn't spend a penny. All but three broke even or made a profit - Ipswich, Forest Green and Lincoln are only ones with a minus net spend. Ipswich the only one really who spent any money.

    Not being able to spend much is an improvement on not being able to spend anything in my view. 
    How we spend the budget we’ve got is key, if the revised plan allows us to spend some on fees as well as wages then things have improved.
    Last season allegedly we had a weekly wage cap of £12k, so we could sign someone on a free whose yearly salary would be £624k, but we weren’t allowed to sign a promising younger player for £300k and pay them £6k a week, same budgetary outlay but the restrictions dictated how we spent it, we in theory have more flexibility now.

    No, the business plan won't hold us back as we will still have the highest budget in the league. We can't go out and spend an absolute fortune, of course, but I doubt there will be much change in how we do business between this year and next.

    Curtains reacted to duncanjwitham in Will the business plan still hold us back   
    The impression I've got is that we can't really spend much more than last season, but we've got more choice over how we spend it.  So we can choose whether to put money into wages or transfer fees, and whether we give one player a high wage or lots of players smaller ones.  I'm not really expecting us to spend much on transfers, other than reinvesting (some proportion of) anything we get from selling players.

    Promotion is the aim. I will expect nothing until I've seen who the 10 to 12 new players are, how quickly they gel (or not) and how things go in the opening 12 games. Only then will we know where we stand. The rest is simply wishful thinking.
    Of course we should do better than 7th. Huddersfield expected to do well having lost out to the Red Dogs at Wembley... they nearly joined us here in L1.
    The moves you make in recruitment and how they work out will determine how well you do in the League. The aim will be to do better than this time round. It's not a given. Over to you Mr Warne.
