Bill 1,788 Posted August 2, 2020 Great move for him if it comes off, and I trust Webber to get the best deal for the club And again it highlights the sh ite the media puts out as Godfrey has not been mentioned in relation to a move much as many of the signings have come 'unexpected' 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with spending on a new stand is that a lot of the expenditure won't qualify for any tax relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted August 2, 2020 One vital thing to remember is that for any ready made experienced player that we buy, who will be at the top end of our earners( otherwise I doubt theyd come), you can add approx 1 million per year in wages to their purchase price. So if we bring in 3 of that ilk, on 3 year contracts , that that's 9 mill straight out of the 'huge transfer kitty '. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
