With us seemingly moving early on a number of targets, is it possible that we are trying to get some players in before 30th June, and does this help with the available money we could spend post 30th June?
Not an expert on these things but we have seen clubs have to sell by this date to balance the books so maybe we can take advantage.

I don't believe transfers-in completed between June 15 and 30 will make any difference to what we can spend after June 30. The overall amount of money the board is prepared to spend will be the same, one way or another. It's probably more dependent on a) who we can sell, and for how much, and b) available cash flow.
PSR expires at the end of the season, and my guess is United will have been in compliance for its final year and won't have any problem complying with UEFA's squad cost rules in the coming year, when revenues could increase to more like £750m.
I'd be much more concerned if I was a Chelsea supporter. I don't see how they can get out of the red. They've already used up their available bookkeeping gimmicks.
