When is a free transfer actually free?

Wages, signing on fees, bonuses.

There’s no such thing as a free transfer. Even loans cost.

Yes Mick has to work within a budget but isn’t that we asked for again and again to be self sufficient?

Wages were too high across the board. If we are getting high wages off the wage bill and replaced by lower wages then that’s a good thing. Providing there isn’t a large or hopefully any drop in quality.

We are bringing in younger players with potential sell on value. Ng is a fine example of this.

Don't forget about those agent fees as well.

How can we?

Does Malky still get his cut too?
