Actually neither Clyne or Ambrose left due to budget problems. Clyne was at the end of his contract and considered himself to be better than the club. Ambrose left to Birmingham for a minimal fee and was replaced pretty quickly with a superior player. The board have always stated that there's been a transfer budget for Freedman to use but he has decided against using it for the most part, it almost cost us last season too. He was lucky last season, now he's finally practically done a complete u-turn on tactics and transfer mentality. I think the board informed him that he would need to.

Shame they lost Clyne...he was around when I was over in England, lots of hype and shit, if Palace kept him plus Zaha, they have two future stars on their rise to the top flight
