The downside to all this

have I got this straight? An elderly, uncommitted gentleman with a penchant for getting booked is going to pay us ?230,000 not to play for us anymore. Additionally we won't have to pay him a similar sum in wages. So we're up about half a million, but we lose Helveg.
There is no downside to this. Have the board still got Eddy's phone number?

        funny how such a simple statement like (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 7, 11:53:54

        but a much more reasonable one (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 7, 11:22:27
