I've only seen the SLS version of his comments but he clearly (or so I thought) stated that the 50K was within the salary cap and the balance of the convert's contract would be unlimited and outside of the salary cap calculation. That element would come from sponsorship, image rights, a benefactor or such like.
As his idea has no (theoretical) top limit on the amount a union convert could be paid then the relative wealth of the games is not an issue.
The whole idea is bonkers mind.
That's that part ironed out then. But still, £50K on the cap, can be spent better and give us potentially, in the long term, better results and prospects. 'Bonkers' about covers it also.
