Quote: DaveO "If are suggesting we have to fund or are funding back-room staff by using the money accrued in transfer fees then I think you have a screw loose and we seriously need a cash injection from elsewhere so we are not doing this.

We have not spent a penny here anyway to secure his services. He will finish his contract with Salford and then takes up a new coaching role with us.

If you are suggesting it's a good idea to use money accrued from transfer fees to pay his wages as opposed to going toward those of replacement players I'd say that is crazy given the obvious needs of the first team.

Who are we going to sell next when the pot is empty to pay the coaching staff?'"

And if we increase our coaching, scouting, physio, analysis networks where do you think all the extra money will come from?
We have already signed three players for next year, maybe more. There is a salary cap to be adhered to. What do you want to do with the transfer money generated, pay tax on it?

It's better to use some of that money to find and develop the next generation.

If London go under the first thing I would do would be to employ a scout/development officer down there. All this takes money and if it has to be partly or wholly subsidised by using SOME of the transfer money, then so be it.
