Undisclosed.

An excellent point.

You are now banned from the competition (and all future Gordon Bennett competitions) for being difficult.

10-15 Mil, making me dizzy thinking about it.

 

[Gordon Bennett]

It’s notable that @Live in Hope has gone for £15m+, while @Realistic PNE Fan has predicted £0.

These are clearly not just randomly chosen usernames.

Interesting that @kennetpne has selected the £7-8m range in the poll. 👀

I feel like Kennet knows enough to be in the right ballpark but I feel like if Zedan's going to treat signings like horses he might drop a wedge on the right deal if it comes along, hence why I went 10-15

The thing is though, it's an investment company financing these deals not Zedan's personal wealth.

Same will happen if/when the takeover happens. Not convinced Zedan himself has the multimillions of available cash to throw around himself, but it will all hinge on the arrangement he has with Bloso Investments and how things are financed going forward.

Let’s hope @Realistic is being over pessimistic which I believe he is.

I’ve gone £6/7m as I live in hope that Ridsdale has emptied his desk and we can use the Jaffa Cake budget for players

It's never been Ridsdales budget !!

7 - 8 for me in the hope that the takeover goes through in time🙏🤞

Thats the last time I share my very interesting stories with you…

 

[Ando60]

The prizes had put me off anyway...

How jolly rude….

I scrub up well I’ll have you know.

Your saving three for the team, on that fateful day, would have been much preferable to having to take one for the team your lordship. 😃

While the custodian in question was not of a similar standard. Unfortunately. ☹️

SPENDING UPDATE (itk)
So far we've spent £1.50 on a pack of Post-It Notes

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Over 80% of the entrants brutally eliminated so far.

This is looking like a legendary victory for the glass half full crew.

 

[Ando60]

How much have we committed so far ?

£6M for Devine
£4M+ for Clarke and Leroy
£2.5M for Mills

That's £12.5M plus the loan fees for Erabi and Burgzorg.

My glass is half empty. I voted sod all. Glad to be wrong.
