The key to this will be when we find out the value of this deal. It should match FXPro at the min, any less and then serious questions should be asked

Jim and im randy, whilst I completely agree, I’ll bet we’ll all be moaning when we don’t bring in the much needed keeper etc that we need because we don’t have the funds? It’s fine for someone like Barca, but we are struggling to compete with the top 6 at the moment as it is, we need every revenue stream we can get. In 10 years time, when we’re kings of europe, we can go back to Acorns
Even Barca had to give up and took on the filthy oil money
