NOT for the first time the Dynamo Charlton manager goes into Friday’s transfer window with the biggest budget to waggle around.
The spendthrift Surrey man takes £46.5m into the open market auction looking to fill a space vacated by Ander Herrera.
The Dynamo manager is sure to light up the window with big spending on one of the three top-scoring available players: Stephen Ward, Chris Lowe or Richarlison.
“I can’t wait,” said the Dynamo manager to media outside the club’s Stone Lake training facility.
He’s the richest of the 19 managers to claim the £10m bonus for releasing players before midday today.
Here are some some headline stats from Kenna deadline day plus all the released players and remaining budgets:
19 – managers to release players

£46.m – biggest manager budget (Dynamo Charlton)
£11m – smallest budget (Walthamstow Reds and Thieving Magpies)
