I’m guessing at around £50m with around £5-8m in sales.

I think it will be manageable following the heavily reduced wage bill this season.
So you think £50m after the 15€m for Beyer?

Re: Goals from free kicks

I'd be interested to see this, also how many free kicks we've had around the box. I know that Scott Twine is definitely noted for his free kicks, so could it be argued that he should be included in the starting 11 based on this ability alone? I love Josh Brownhill but most of his don't even get close.
