Promotion to the NL will probably be worth more than the 100k a year Roberts or any other players may be on.
Why will it? Where will the value come in promotion? From the huge away followings of Solihull Moors or Altrincham? From the big money National League TV deal? From the massive increase in the value of sponsorships from playing in English football’s 5th tier? I think we need to get real about the realities of football finances outside the Football League.
