Quote: Billy Batten "One thing I do know for certain is that bomber was happy to splash the cash in negotiations. With Lineham he went straight in at £70,000 a year, no loading for performances, games played, milestones etc, just straight in at that .
First person Lineham spoke to about the offer was Radders.. He asked him if he should take the deal, Radders asked him if he was daft and told him to get back in the office pronto and sign as quick as he could.
Bearing in mind this was before Lineham really impressed this season.
Bomber also managed to give over the odds on a few other deals.
He maybe had the contacts but negotiation was certainly not his strong point.'"
Hopefully the fact that Tony has studied business and has already acknowledged we're overpaying players will see better and more considered contracts been offered.
