A short reply
James wanted to sign Kal, due to the fact that we had not paid Taxman - which was not due until the end of this week - we could not.
James wanted Kal as part of his squad and did not want to wait, so he paid it.
There are much tighter constraints this season - squad number, wages to % turnover etc. - and the Taxman was flexing his muscle so to speak.
I hope that this will allay fears
