I would hope (and expect) that Butler plus any assistant and Turnbull (if he’s been scouting) will be responsible. The board can then say no if the players demands are not within budget. Does Butler want 26 players on £1000/wk or 22 players on £1200/wk?
Does he go for 24 players on £1000 and give Butterfield £3000 to keep him?
(Wages are an example only and I’m not suggesting they in any way represent true figures.)
Good luck Andy!!
