I know a contractor that turned down the business because of the penalty clauses. He described them as mad for taking it on.

Buckingham are on a £1m a week penalty for late delivery, hence the timing.

Even at £100k a week, an 8 year contract guarantees the player almost another £20m in earnings over a 5 year contract. Why on earth wouldn't you do that?

Or Chelsea know they’ve lost out and are just trying to delay things so he can’t play against them on Sunday.

5 live sports extra.

Brief thought - anyone who comes in January has a strong chance of getting a league championship medal, that has to add a little weight to the overall attractiveness of any deal to the player when they measure their career in medals.

Syed is quite a good writer though. Bounce is a good read (apart from the questionable last few chapters that wander into a eugenics debate)
