Nigel Pearson has indicated a desire to sign more Championship-ready players this summer, with the volume of inexperience in their squad this season reflected by their league position.
With record losses of £38.4million and a requirement to further reduce their wage bill that stood at £35.3m in the accounts published for the financial year 2021, Pearson is unlikely to have significant funds to spend again in the next transfer window.
Last year, the manager brought in four new players: two experienced figures in Andy King and Matty James and two young and inexperienced talents but with a high potential ceiling in Rob Atkinson and George Tanner. In the January window, veteran defender Timm Klose was the only addition due to Nathan Baker’s concussion.
