Hypothetical really but I wonder what our reaction would be if his agent came to the club pre Christmas saying he had made a mistake and wanted to come here in the January window.
Son has just shown me a sky sports interview with Pritchard, sorry I cant find it to post it, but basically he says he doesnt know where the idea about the delay on the M25 came from as he was sat at home when the call from Norwich came in and he chose them purely based on who he thought stood...
And refused if your expenditure is deemed to be excessive with you making no provision for cutting it back. Which clubs would vote for that though as all in The Championship bar about 6 have benefitted from parachute payments and most of the Premier would want them to stay.
Perhaps the answer is to scrap the present parachute payment system and make the money available over the season on application like a grant from the local council.
