Quote ="Adeybull"Interesting comparison. Thought it was reported as £450k though? And there appeared to be very strong indications that the deal was not necessarily quite like all it seemed. But I guess if you compare the two: the Newlove deal set the Bulls up for SL and gave us the cash and the platform on which to build a championship-winning side; the Fielden deal may well have...shall we say, done the club a big favour financially?'"
Although I agree the Newlove deal was excellent (how they managed to strike a deal of that makeup is beyond me - getting the three players to agree), in terms of value for money, Fielden at 450k seems like an excellent piece of business now bearing in mind his game over the last well three seasons.
