Things change quickly in football including budgets.
As Scotch said, we've saved massively on Holmes and Carruthers (who were both on staggering weekly wages - a la Roofey speculation
), so without replacing them two - you'd already be well under the budget afforded this season. It's not a big issue.
We will probably see the likes of Shearer, McMahon, Jonte Smith, Nelson, Raglan, maybe Keheller and Obika go. We've sent Kashi, Graham and Samir off home. Question marks over Napa and Hall and James Henry for me.
That's an awful awful lot of money saved yet we've kept the nucleus of our key players together. Blimey half that lot were not even near the first team.
Karl has a s**t load of money to spend and I doubt many people will argue with the speculative opinion above.
