Hull City boss Steve Bruce is pleased with his summer business going into today's Premier League opener at Chelsea.
Bruce has operated on a transfer budget of under £15million since winning promotion, spending prudently through the summer to strengthen the squad in every department and he feels that development has been done sustainably.
"I think we have done really decent business to make sure the club is not falling to bits if armageddon does happen," he said.
"You have to be a bit creative, a bit shrewd if you can.
"We've been on a certain budget and I said before we wouldn't be selling the club into turmoil again. I think we've been canny enough to give ourselves a real fighting chance.
"That is vitally important for a club like us. But if we are not good enough to stay up then at least the club will not be in freefall like it was a couple of years ago.
"Everybody gets sucked into the dream and gets carried away...how many clubs have we seen that happen to?
"I would love to spend another £50million but I'm realistic."
