financial leeway

[Sepmre]

Hi,

What does it mean? "leeway". (I've checked some dictionaries and I do not know which definition would be appropriate)

So I told him: if it was a good club, with good history, some financial leeway, and a chairman who understands the game, he would have a chance. If only two of those variables could be ticked off, he was in for a battle.

"Leeway" here means some flexibility in financial arrangements.
