Handbook) Regulations regarding the Majority Vote of the
Members present, not mentioning "matters of principle, it
would be well to ascertain what this phrase meant
exactly, before a decision was made.
Report 7. Notice was drawn to the "Terms of
Reference "(Item 2) & it was agreed that so far as
this report was concerned, the mention of the F. A.
Cup Competition was extraneous.
Report 8. As in Report 7, it was felt that the
Football League was the body, on our behalf, that
should press for equitable treatment in the
incidence of the Entertainment Tax.
Recommendation 12. Letter read from Mr. Fred
Everiss J. P. of West Bromwich.
It was agreed that we oppose
this Rec. on a matter of principle, as taking
away our proper authority to appoint our representative
at Annual & General Meetings of the Football League.
Recom. 14. It was agreed to consider this in
two parts. To the first, we agree that there be no
fixed Maximum Transfer Fees. To the second, that
there should be no restriction on the power of Clubs
to make their own financial arrangements with
regard to payment of Transfer Fees. As we were
usually in the position of a Creditor Club, this finding should
be of importance.
Recom. 18. Agree to increase of wages to £9
Playing Season, & £7, Close Season as weekly
maximum.
Recom. 21. That the wording is vague, but if
as it reads, it is correct, then we feel that War
Service/Period should rank towards Benefit.
Report 10. That this is a domestic matter for
Clubs. If the Football League concurs, there is no necessity.
