So Paul Faulkner says to QSF representatives that he can have between £8m and £10m plus 1/2 player sales?
Between £8m and £10m? Not £8m or £10m but somewhere in between. Brilliant. You would think that the CEO of a big football club would be able to give more definitive figures than this. No wonder he didn't want to come to the club.

I'm not really sure of your discussion here...why would the ceo give an exact amount? Transfers don't just involve the fee, they include stuff like signing on fees, agent fees, wages etc. As such I think it would be pretty impossible to be exact. So for expamle (all hypothetical opbviiously), if a transfer budget was set at £8m and the fee had been agreed at £7.5m, but the players agent wanted a cut of 7.5%, plus the player wanted a signing on fee of 4%, thus putting the deal over the £8m would the deal be pulled? Unlikely, therefore by giving a transfer bracket ie budget of £8m-10m, in my eyes is fairly reasonable.
