Apparently, not 100% sure but we now only sign players by paying upfront. This ensures the stability of the finances in the future as we won't have any extra debts/money going out whilst any players we sell we will more than likely have money coming in each month/year in installments.
Interesting if that's right - most deals these days seem to be based on payment by instalments, probably because most clubs couldn't afford to pay the stupid amounts that players go for these days.
Personally I'm not in a rush to laugh at the mags over this one - I still worry about our finances if Short left and in general the financial state of a lot of football clubs aren't looking too healthy.
