Expect more of our higher profile players to be changing codes in the future.'"
The sums don't add up.
If each club was getting £4.2m then over 4 years that would be a deal worth over £200m.
It is also worth noting that there is a good chance that this will not all be cash, based on the technical upgrades part of the article.
