“There were some positive bits around what we might not have to do as a club,” said O’Neil. “We are in a much better position than we were last summer, when we needed to sell players.
“We don’t need to sell anybody. If we didn’t want to see players, we could sell nobody this summer. But as I’ve said already, the money coming in (from owners Fosun) won’t be as big as it used to be, when we were able to sign players for £30million or £40 million and not sell anybody.
“That won’t be happening. But we have some assets out on loan that will either come back and make the group stronger or come back and be sold to give us some opportunity to do some business.
“But anybody that we’re desperate not to lose can definitely stay here. We’ve had discussions — at least the first of them — and come out of it with a good understanding of what we’re trying to do.”

Fag packet maths, so happy for anyone to correct.
Player salary bill circa £40m
PL money this season circa £125m
Outstanding payments on transfers (based on FFP calls and excluding loans we can claim back) circa £50m. Deducts both money due in and out for Collins and Nunes
Generous additional salaries £10m
Sponsorship etc conservative £10m
We could spend circa £30m without needing to sell anybody, call it £20m with wages.
