I know it was Animal, regarding the Aylott 'fee'. As I said it was a tribunally-sold deal for Trev, but it was appallingly low for the big number 9 who was so important to us at that time!.
As for Ash, yes of course 4.5 mill was a fortune, an absolute dream come true for us back in 1998. But it still could have been more!. I dont like or agree with the disgusting fees that players go for, but we've got to keep up with the Jones's and do the same havent we ?.
