Still the same for me. Does this sound like we have disapproved of this gross waste of funds? Doesn't to me, this sounds like an attempt to justify it as all being perfectly reasonable behaviour in this mega money morally bankrupt World of football.
However you cut it, that is £5m that is being paid unnecessarily to someone who is already a multi-millionaire, while clubs down the ladder are going bust for far less, and football is outwardly trying to look like they are community facing and doing their bit for charity. According to this...
It's TB's money that has been thrown into the pot, so if he hasn't had to sanction such a thing then it's a dereliction of duty. He simply must have that much control over his own money that Barber can't just give £250k away without at least consulting. It's wouldn't have literally been a hat...
