I love this bit of reporting.
A modest six-figure sum! That’s life changing for some, people could even have sleepless nights at the thought. Money doesn’t guarantee success though and it would be strange to be paying fees when we’ve been relying on released/out of contract players, if he does sign I’m sure DA feels he will improve the starting 11 and not just the squad.
Considering both the money that flows in football even in League One/Two, and also the money Adams has earned PAFC, a transfer fee of £100,000 is fairly modest.
Luton paid that for half a season of Jake Jervis, a bench warmer for us and subsequently them.
It may well come down to inbred Scottish canniness with money. You do not see many investment trust companies or wealth management groups in Cardill as compared to the number in Edinburgh. Jones the Manager at Luton appears a sound chap but is he as shrewd as DA? i think not. £100k is a lot of money at this level to make mistakes about.
