79 [Special Meeting of Directors held at Exchange Station Hotel on Monday 12th March 1928] Present Mr. W. C. Cuff (Chair) & all other Directors except Mr. H. Banks & Dr. C. Baxter. Reports re Players Messrs A. Coffey & Secy. reported that they Thompson & Lewis were not impressed with the displays of (Swansea) these two players. They had made enquires & found that fee wanted for Lewis was £4500 & that they had not fixed anything definite re Thompson, but it would be considerably more than for Lewis. Decided to take no further action in the matter. Tilson & Brooks Messrs J. Fare & D. Kirkwood reported that (Barnsley) they did not consider the former good enough, but the latter was a good player. Jones (Bournemouth) Mr. E. Green reported that this man was a very good player, but that he thought he was only about 5'4" which in his opinion was somewhat against him. After discussion it was decided that the Secretary proceed at once to negotiate for the transfer of one of the following players. 1. Dunn (Hibs) up to £6000. 2. McClelland (M'bro) up to £6000. 3. Crosbie (B'gham) up to £3000. also that Mr. D. Kirkwood proceed to try and secure the transfer of Jones (Bournemouth) up to £1000 provided he is not less than 5.5½. Confirmed as Correct W. C. Cuff Chairman
