How to Spend our Windfall

Just an aside from talking about promotion for a moment ............... Due to Ollie's exploits we are due an unexpected windfall of I believe £112k or therabouts. So if you were the 'Chairman of the Board' what would you advise we do with the money? Some suggestions could include (but please feel free to come up with any others please):

1) Further improvements to the pitch in the closed season as required to build upon what took place this past season

2) Plug the gap in the increase in the planned building project at the training ground

3) Improved salary offer to Jevani Brown (one of the few remaining not to have accepted a longer deal)

4) Rip out and replace the fading red seats in the Doble Stand

I'm torn between the training ground and making Jevani an offer he can't refuse as I feel he is so important to how we play. Thoughts ...

Which league we are playing in next season will come into my ponderings.

Al, most of the above will be pertinant regardless of division

I would lean to being particularly competitive in the transfer market this Summer when it comes to strengthening in the strikers department especially IF we’re in League One.

My thinking too if we intend to prosper in League 1 (assuming we get there)

SJ As a result of Ollie’s involvement with England we have pocketed 6 x £37.5k = £225K + (after his starting last night) £75K so a total of £300K.

Definitely offer Sam Stubbs a longer much improved contract that would be my priority

Has Jevani actually been offered a longer deal? I wasn't aware he had turned anything down.

Up to a point but Red Devon's thinking is in line with mine.

Totally agree so it’s definitely Jevani for me.
