Would not be surprised if it’s significantly more than the £1.2m we used to pay. Negotiated under pressure with pretty dirty tactics from Frasers, almost 20 years later.
the other thing is obviously two kids now don’t have a Mum got however long. And it’s not like locking her up would prevent her doing it again, unless we have another lockdown, so you’ve got to question the value of a custodial sentence.
Some of our best signings have come in August. Especially loans. We don’t need everyone in but certainly considering the amount we’re likely to sign the more the better otherwise half the squad misses the start of pre season.
Ive said before i think we need £10m spending. But if we spend £7/8m I won’t spit my dummy unless both Hamer and Vik go. Anything less than £5m and keeping Hamer will be a serious disappointment for me.
Does it matter at this point? Best will be some players we were already aware of, or personal recommendations from players and staff, no time for scouting now considering there’s no football and they wouldn’t have been in scope before. Got a whole season to properly scout.
First season up, no sales: Hamer £1.3m, Walker £900k plus something on Reid Hilsner and Tavares.
Second season, no sales: Sheaf £900k, Vik £1m ish, plus Kane.
Expecting at least £4/5m isn’t unreasonable in a summer we could make £20m+
