in some ways, it's difficult to see that things will change in relation to player recruitment - the loss is being reduced by making profits on selling players and through parachute payments. the parachute payments run out after next season (and will be lower this season in any case). we reduced the wage bill by £10m during 2016-17, but we still need to reduce it further to keep up with reductions in income from the parachute payments and be less reliant on player sales.
it's worth noting, the accounts appear to say that we spent nearly £15m on players during 2016-17, which is not so small an investment. for reference, i think we generated about £12m in transfer fees.
