Fees paid for

Eden
Cockayne
Walker

Fees to be paid for a couple of English 9s before next season

Briscoe and Crooks not even sold....now that's something to worry about.

Not that good a deal as you make out, only 60k not 100k, like you reckon, & the fees for both or your standout players, is just going on wages, & it will only make you hit the full cap, not very good business is it, having to sell the best players just to pay the wages of an 8th choice winger, but he can ping a goal though, so should be ok with the wind coming off the dock! Well that is if you sign a couple of English 9s to help create tries.
See hudge for details fillip. Haha

Well, they lost another £900k across the 2 years to November 2013, despite big fees for Taylor and Green. That's before the repayments kick in for the North Stand, of course.

A couple of questions.

Multiple assertions from Rovers hierarchy that Burns would not be sold without a better player on board. Yet Hudgell says "We are now on the hunt for a new half back". Mutually exclusive those statements? Actually, maybe he means for Keating, who's already looking for an out. Unsurprising given the rich amount of scapegoating in operation, and unfair seeing that Hodgson was only allowed to pass to Burns.

It's £160k in fees inc Hodgson, but Hudgell now saying the fees will now allow spend up to full cap. Yet you say you were only £60k shy of the cap anyway. So where's the other £100k going?

Anyway I think the answer is the offer of £180k you have tabled for Danny Brough. Lunt and Brough, that's good going.
