Those signings were made with an eye on European football, quite clearly. Should we have made the Champions League we could have signed them and still downsized the wage bill, this didn't happen so now there have to be other sacrifices made to handle this. Meaning that most likely in january we will try and flog some players. However, I don't believe it will be the likes of McGregor, Jelavic, Davis,... but more like the useless duds in the team (Kerkar, McCulloch,...). edit: Now you're talking about 6k per week, who gave you that idea ? I think you're just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. Nobody has talked about abandoning the plan to invest in the squad over the coming years.
