SuperMac may be tempting if the team starts to do well.

We had three options

1) Scrap the deal and be left with a potentially unhappy player

2) Make it cash-only, and be left with a pile of money we couldn't spend until next summer

3) Go ahead, bringing in a new player, and a quality one at that.

I think business wise it's a no-brainer.  but, it is an example of the Chairman buying a player and different standards being applied.  Still if we can convince Ireland to join whilst we managerless then we're not doinf too bad.
