Take what I'm wildly about to account with a huge amount of salt.

So from what we've effectively taken in accounted transfers out in recent years:

Burchnall - rumoured 300k comp

Williams - rumoured 750k comp

Nemane - rumoured 250k inc Grant

Langstaff - 750k

Mahovo - undisclosed but I'd say a decent sum (lets say 150k)

Crowley - 400k

Bass - rumoured 450k

Effectively - 3m in the coffers

And In:

Jatta - 250k

Traore - 175k

Jarvis - 300k

Bass - 175k

Effectively - 900k outgoing.

With League 2 running costs, Maynard's sacking, McG's golden wage etc, we should be up at least nearly pushing a mil in the ol coffers. Hopefully this is semi ringfenced for player purchases given the model and hopefully, we've chosen what we wanted from free agents and the loan market which now gives us the time to buy effectively.

So this begs the question: who is the next one out the door for a substantial profit or it someone we've yet to sign before this window shuts?

We have to remember that the Club has invested in a new state of the heart pitch that is Premier League standard

Converted part of the Kop to standing only. Improved the facilities around the Ground & made ground structural improvements.

Notts has partnered with the Uni of Nottingham to develop Highfields Sports Complex into a new elite-level training base. This includes a replica of Meadow Lane's hybrid pitch, a new gym, and other facilities. 

And not forgetting the Nest that had to be developed at cost. So if you take all those improvements into account it must be maybe up to £2 to £3million has been spent, so all that spending has to be taken into account.

@Robbie, good point but hopefully they've been accounted for those items financially in another capacity or at least not straight from the profits of sales.

I think regardless, I do think they're willing to spend and have shown this in the past but I understand they are running towards self sufficiency model.

To be honest, by looking at their track record, we wouldn't want it any other way would we? If they'd gone and broke the bank continously after sales and not put anything back into the club, we'd be moaning about PA systems and that it was financialy reckless.

I believe the club will spend money on new players, but it’s clear they’re focusing more on being sustainable. Under the Reedtz brothers, things seem to be shifting towards long-term planning rather than short-term gain.

Some fans are throwing around wild theories, saying the club is getting ready to be sold. I don’t believe that’s true. It looks to me like the money from outgoing transfers is being used for more than just boosting the squad. It’s going into the training ground, The Nest, refurbishing the pitch, safe standing, and new advertising boards.

I’m not saying the club won’t pay fees for future signings, I do think they will. But I also wanted to highlight the fact that there are other important areas where that money is going.

I don’t overthink it too much, but I do like that the Reedtz brothers are happy to invest in transfers. You can’t build a proper team using only free agents, you need a few established players in the mix. I agree that spending money on a keeper shows serious intent. Some fans aren’t keen on all the loan signings, but I think that’s more about filling gaps. I expect we’ll still bring in another two or three. If there’s a fee involved, I trust it’ll be for players who add real strength to the squad.
