    “We were told a different number at 6pm”

    Rivermouth’s sporting director spoke to us on the way into the ground, and did not sound like a man who had just banked £180m.

    “We were told a different number at six o’clock, and a different one again at nine. That is the market now. You do not negotiate, you wait.”

    Nine clubs, one striker, and a wage structure nobody wants to talk about

    Four of the clubs still in this race have internal wage ceilings below the number being discussed. Two have already broken them tonight.
