It was just for those that thought we would be paying beckford £20k a week in this league.

They've found out/guessed/had the nod that the deal was "worth £1m". It's a 3-year contract. So divide £1m by 150 weeks and you get £6,666. Near enough £7k for a tabloid sports sub. I'd guess it was more like £5k a week (about par for a championship striker), with a 25% signing-on fee in lieu of a transfer fee to Swindon. So £250k up front. The key word is "package" M >>Leeds United, who agreed a £7,000-a-week package to sign out-of-contract Swindon striker Billy Paynter, 26, on a three-year deal on Wednesday night, are also keen on defender David Wright, 30, who was released by Ipswich.<< _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
