I agree mate, I think they know exactly where they stand with Wilder, and also the money from the sell-on clauses and the fact that Brooks was ill and out of the spotlight may also have helped.

But after saying all that, Mcabe and the board (not sure if the Prince is still active) deserve a lot of credit for how they’ve conducted our transfers in this window. Getting in seemingly every player on Chris’s wish list in double quick time was an outstanding achievement. I can’t remember the last time I spent a deadline day not checking the media every few minutes, totally confident that what we’d told would happen by Chris would be the case.
