Bates figures as usual are not correct, as it's £2.6m a year and if the barcodes were willing to fund £1m of this it would still mean the club paying £30k a week, which explodes our cap. I reckon there are better players around for half that money, so too much of a gamble
I read it as them wanting a £1m contribution... which equates to under £20k a week. Still a lot of money.
£19,230 a week forget if Smith is wanted or not, what price is promotion, WHY can't we afford it, biggest gates in the division cup runs and already a squad a fraction of the size of many
1. **** off to Bates for identifying another target and then considering him too expensive in retrospect. Idiot. 2. Thank God this scum bastard isn't coming to our club. Party time!
