No point in offering them something so unrealistically low that they just say, 'Stuff that - I'll get far more in League 2 or the Conference". The salaries have got to be good enough for them to agree to; not huge, I grant you, but sensible.
Good decisions all round. Hope the contracts offered to Calde and Casper are good enough for them to want to sign - wouldn't want to lose them by trying to do things on the cheap.
