Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3335687, member: 9853"] The piece is bylined Badel and Read. The source of the offer is "News Corp understands." The source says he's "tipped to sign" and the amount is "[B]around[/B] $500K per season. In my recent experience "News Corp understands" is code for a rock solid inside source. Mostly likely the club management. Given there's a quote from Ikin, you can bet it was an off-the-record comment from him that he wants Bennett to read. But the figure is implicitly rubbery (around) and they might expect him to sign, but it's no done deal. I think all you can take away from this is they've upped their previous offer. I wouldn't read any more into it than that. [/QUOTE]
