If within a time frame he brings in continued substantial increases in income then it’s a sound move that not only sets us up to be sustainable but may give us options like ground upgrades, transfer fees, higher salaries for incoming players, was Colin Lee’s role the same?

You’d assume he’d have projected targets and maybe a base salary that will be increased if they are met, and I assume his salary will make him the highest paid member of staff, but if he brings in the kind of income to take us to the next level then no one will complain. I think it will be very beneficial if any ‘wins’ he gets us are communicated to us as supporters like myself will moan that our ST increases aren’t being well spent if we don’t see results.

He has a great background, so hopefully this is a very shrewd move by the club.
