Juggy's given some facts, thrown out some figures, and sure there are some holes if you are trying to reconstruct a balance sheet. But I get his frustration. What would be helpful was if our owners were a little less secretive, then this would cut out the need for speculation. My main gripe with their player transactions is that of not being very good at obtaining the best price for players (my opinion). I get tired of hearing the excuse that 'we can't stand in the way of player x' so we have to let him go. I find it strange that they are so prepared to play hardball in almost every other facet of their business dealings, yet always seem to blink at the first sign of an offer for a player. I accept that may just be my perspective and that they really work a deal behind the scenes, but I haven't been convinced with our recent sales.
My understanding is Contingent Assets are only disclosed as such when the Directors are satisfied the economic benefit is probable
