Hopefully the money is invested in infrastructure (Youth program, training facilities or the ground) rather than on the playing budget. The more I see how well the club has done with recruitment over the last couple of years on what I keep getting told is a shoestring budget, the less I want us to try and complete with those top budgets. It’s clear our budget is more than adequate to be able to complete at the top end of the table, so I’d rather see us live within our means and invest any potential extra income elsewhere.

£1 mill over the terms of the contract is the deal . Let’s wait with anticipation what gets ploughed back in to the club shall we . I doubt it will be too transparent

The literally explain what happens to the money in the meeting. No money get's ringfenced, it just goes into the overall budget along with all other income. So in a way, it will help fund infrastructure as we're spending money on buying long leases for exclusivity and improvements of the Moulton training facilities, but it's not ringfenced to say 'This specific £500k from here is going to this specific outcome from there'.

The article states the money will be paid in installments over several years, so I think it will be impossible for us supporters not "in the know" to track what it gets spent on. Still, I think it's important that we get serious money for players like Carney, so that clubs like ours see the value of having a strong academy.
