has just been submitted by hand to Ken Choo. The offered salary is up to £1,250,000 per year but I have stated that £250,000 per annum plus a fully expensed Ford Mondeo and time and a quarter for all hours worked in excess of 35 per week will suit me. I also asked for a 24 month contract but will not expect a signing on fee. Ken was pleased I represent myself and come without an agent.

When I achieve promotion to the Premiership by leading the side to win all of our remaining 32 games starting at Stoke, I will expect a bonus of £100,000 tax free.

My appointment should be announced early tomorrow evening.
