Why do contracts take such a long time. You offer £40,000 a week for two years reduced to £30,000 if we get relegated. The player counters by asking for £50,000 for three years and either he is worth it or not. It is not even as complicated as Stanley Matthews getting £20 a week in the winter but only £15 in the summer.

I am told that in the 1950s the great Roy Paul used to bet £5 of his £20 wage on a weekly snooker match against the Manchester City chairman and always won. Is Top going to test his sporting prowess?-perhaps one on one Top against Kasper at Basketball.

There are an almost unlimited number of nuts and bolts that players or clubs can ask to be installed into contracts. Contract negotiations can be ten minutes or ten months. It is what it is.

Agents have to be seen to be earning their money.

I love the inventive ways in which clubs and players used to circumvent the maximum wage regulations. I bet those games were great. "Whoops! I've potted the cue ball again. Looks like I'll have to get my wallet out!"

It was not circumventing the maximum wage but Stanley Matthews used to pay by cheque whenever he could. This was at a time - late forties early fifties - when few working class men had chequebooks. Matthews realised businesses would rather frame a cheque by him than cash it. I wonder how many of the present Leicester team have ever written a cheque.

Are you saying that they still excist and can be used?

... though your apparent surprise at that revelation reminds me of the occasion when another member of this forum and I visited a 3 shop in Sweden and were told that we could not pay with cash!

That would surprise me too. Almost as much as seeing someone paying with a cheque.

You can no longer pay by cheque in a shop - the Cheque Guarantee scheme having closed in June 2011. And many (most?) shops declined to take cheques even before that date. They're only really used for postal transactions.
