Well, you'd think wrong.
7. If a team can only field 10 or less players for the next match,
the team may bring Journeymen onto the roster for free until the
team can field 11 players for the next match.
No where in #7, or any of the points earlier, does it say that this rule is suspended if you have money in the treasury.
Of course, you or your commissioner can house-rule differently (as FUMBBL has done), but the rules as written, and as confirmed by JJ and Galak, say that if you have less than 11 players on the roster you may take JM to make the roster up to 11. It doesn't matter if you have 0gc or 1,000,000gc in the treasury, less than 11 players gives you access to JM.
