Alty got the hottest property in non-league football to re-sign BECAUSE of the attitude and the approach Altrincham F.C. have towards finance and people.
"whatever we offered to pay him, we would pay him. It might not be the biggest financial deal on the table, but it was one that would be honoured every week" (Grahame Rowley).
If you don't get it this means don't promise what you have no chance of delivering. What you do agree to pay, you pay. On the day it's due. Not a penny less, not a penny more.
I am so proud of Alty for being able to make that sort of statement. The foundations for that financial approach were laid by Geoff Goodwin and it is superb to see that ethos continuing.
