With the ending of the parachute payments we won't be spaffing money up the wall on wages that players like Rhodes would be demanding. And am thankful for that.

It's just paper talk I think.
I'm not sure Rhodes' wages would amount to that much for the reason that I'd be dubious about this deal if it went through - he hasn't done anything for years to justify the sort of wages he may have been earning at one time. Rhodes' goalscoring figures were spectacular at Huddersfield and Blackburn, but since he left Ewood Park in 2016, he's found it hard to break into the starting eleven of any team he's played for.
