I don’t necessarily think a 6 year repayment deal is bad news for Huddersfield.

It firms up fixed income for that period and fixed income gives the business more security and stability. The problem with one big payment is that it is easy to spend it and then you had better get it right because that is it. Clubs and fans know you have the money so their expectations go up as well that you can afford to spend it.

As long as you have no immediate requirement for the £15 million and who are they going to sign at this late, then it could be a very good deal, providing of course we don’t go bust in the meantime.

It is all part of clubs having to change and live within something like their income and in return give up on chasing the dream of unrealistic expectations of being a brand club in the PL.
