    Exactly my point. Financially we are light years away from where we were in the last published accounts. The shift is phenomenal.

    We managed to convince Le Fee and that was before we even got promoted. I don’t even think he took much convincing tbh. I’m sure we will have no trouble in that regard. We have a great reputation these days.

    Yeah was a coup, but we should probably use some examples that weren't heavily based on a relationship with Reggie.

    We've pulled off some other impressive deals.

    Of course I could name others - Jack Clarke in league one springs to mind, but Le Fee is obvious stand out.

    It's not as if we've been promoted as just another Luton or Sheff Utd who play the same Championship style in either league.

    Players know there'll be more opportunity to play football other than long diagonals and crosses into the box.

    Le Bris sets challenges for players and asks them to play their way into games.

    We'll attract players capable of doing that and hopefully dissuade those without the ability to adapt.

    Whatever happens there'll be some more moments of sheer class in my opinion.

    Yeah I guess I just always feel like it doesn't represent our pull factor, I'm probably overanalyzing it.

    No. So far just asset stripping. Watson and Jobe sold to line the owners’ pockets

    So that's about 40 million in plus 220 million promotion money in the bank.

    There's no such thing as £220 million promotion money.

    Not really, massive increase in everyone's wages, aswell as paying money for clauses in contracts of players signed

    Not quite, it's paid incrementally. The larger amount at the end of season.

    Hence the finance facility being taken out.

    To smooth cashflow.
