I think it's a win-win for us anyway. Either Goode stays for another 6 months of a year and we have a good league one Centre back, or he goes and we get a decent amount of money, probaly between a third up to half of our yearly playing budget. Only way we lose out if he goes for under-value, I think anything over a million is acceptable really.
Looking at Kelvins comments about the budget, I think my concern would be more along the lines of whether we can get some of the surplus to requirements off our books in the environment we're currently in. Either Martin, Lines, Smith and Warburton step it up a notch (which is far from impossible if anyone remembers the turn around Langmead had), or we're going to have a chunk of our budget taken up by players who aren't up to scratch. We've got 19 players under contract, 6 of those are first or second year scholars with no significant amount of game time, and 4 of them have struggled to make an impact in the league below, so that's a lot of strengthening to happen and probably not a great amount of finances to do it.
I do wonder if we'll try the Dean Austin experiment again and try and play the youth teamers a little bit more?
