His salary will start at £9.5 million a year, rising 25 per cent annually to a staggering £29 million, or just over £557,500 a week, in the final year. He stands to earn up to £107 million.

Little Mickey was hardly thrilled when Sky Sports sprung the Hull idea on him, was he?

He's always conducted himself fairly well, is it wrong that I'm a bit disappointed with the brochure? Maybe this is normal practice and I'm fooling myself.

I still think him at Villa with Emile could work pretty well.
As long as Carew and Agbonlahor are still there for the real work, naturally.
