I worked it out the long way and got it right. But there's obviously some clever way of doing it using that tricky bit of jiggery pokery you've just posted - and it may as well be in Chinese to me. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 If the Villa were to offer Nigel Reo Coker a new contract with a goalscoring bonus of £52m a goal, what would happen first; us going bankrupt for giving Reo Coker more money than we can possibly hope to generate, or Reo Coker dying of old age?
