If its true, then good for the club and us supporters.
The goal, rightly or wrongly, is to get to the EPL, just for the money. We all appreciate what the Championship offers but at the end of the day, to survive and progress, and not languish, we must be in the EPL fighting for our lives, at least financially.
Today is silly money time. Just look at what Haarling just got from MC... ridiculous. Its the same over the pond here in the US with American Football, Basketball, Baseball, and to a lesser extent, Hockey.
Winning in Sport = Money!
So, if we paid $8m for Cannon and he scores 15 goals in the 2nd part of the season, he will get us promoted. If he scores 0 goals, we will not be promoted.
This is the justification for paying this money: score goals, we go to EPL.
My home state of Ohio has its college football team playing in the collegiate football championship on Monday and there will be over 80,000 watching in Atlanta, plus game live on ESPN.... loads and loads of cash will pour into Ohio State and Notre Dame universities from this game plus many of these players will get multi-million $ sign on bonuses when they enter the Pro circuit at 22 years of age.
Cannon is 22.
That's the justification.... progress or languish!
