This is a much more sly, yep sloppy in the end, arrangement. They have only been caught re-handed fort the McGuinness contract to date, but real interest will come if Investigations Committee insist on access to other player banks accounts and insist on them signing stat decs about payments recieved. stay tuned
And why would they stop at looking at one player when the bright sparks involved would have considered themselves to be onto a good thing.
I wonder if this will just involve the long term injured players only and was activated to make up for their major match payment shortfall?
Newton, Campbell and one other who I can't recall also were out most of 2012.
Anyhow, we have said all last year how could Norwood put that many quality players together and still be under the cap.... well the injuries obviously helped sort it out, but if they put their best 21 on the park every week last season, on performance loaded contracts, no way their under in our opinion!
