Hopefully shows the signs of a new business model. You cant expect to fill a team of free transfers on 1yr deals and ever make any money from them. Longer deals and small investments may well pay off in the longer term with onward transfer fees and sell on clauses. Imagine Exeter are due a bit if Watkins makes a £20m+ move to the PL.
My phone has been off the hook. This shows intent. I hope he has a better 3 years than poor old Simon Walton the last long contract we signed. I also think it shows intent from RL
:scarf: :scarf:
And it could be hell of an investment. Not many can cross the ball like he can across all four divisions and with a good season behind him in L1 they'll be queueing up with offers in a year's time. Not that we'll want to sell of course. :greensmile:
This is great news. I imagine we were able to push the price down on the basis of Peterborough being given a significant sell on clause. MacAnthony is a bit like a lower league Daniel Levy - he really does drive a hard bargain.
