Does anyone think this is a money for more new players or to help with GH..?

Maybe he wants to play for a club moving forward.... And he knows it

Probably a similar issue to Atkins. Felt like he was stagnating a bit, big fish small pond and all that, and needed a change to advance his career. Doubt the cash would have any impact on what is needed for GH (unless they've had a hint of the tax bill coming their way, like ours, and want to balance the bill before it arrives - gives a greater impression of stability).

Could it be to help pay off their fines.

Looking like Cas see our new stadium progression as a real threat to their survival.

This is a massive blow for cas whichever way you look at it. Westerman was their future. He was their shining light that they were to build a team around... and now he's gone....

westerman is cas through and through and they havnt been able to keep hold of him. Massive blow for them. Massive!

I've said this all week. Cas are as broke as we are- except we don't have to find 11M+ to fund a stadium.
Even if they sell Joe (who I've never rated) and get the application in they'll still be no better off as they can't afford the build!

IMO the FPP application isn't the crucial one for CT, the Ben Bailey application on WR will be much more significant. That will show a commitment from BB- and will prove to entail a better deal for them. BB have the option to buy WR within the next 12 months- nothing concrete before- and without that sale they will never be in a position to do anything more than apply for PP. FACT.

IMO Cas will be looking at 2013 at the earliest.

(as i've said before for the benefit of the majority of Cas fans I hope GH comes off- but in the case of Amber- I hope it never happens- just to see the worm wriggle!)

Financial worries at cas?

I'd say most clubs have found the day to day running harder in recent years. Not just Cas or us.
And tbf they did make a profit last year, not a very big one but a profit none the less.
A small profit doesn't always mean a business is doing great though. If you didn't have much in the pot to start with a little extra won't turn you into a blue chip company.

I'd say the only financial crisis at Cas is getting the WR money released before this time next year.
Although if they could find a builder who will work for 6 months without pay they're onto a winner.

Wright also confirmed that the fee would be used to help the submitting of the club's plans for a new stadium at Glasshoughton.
