Report of this Manchester Meeting which had rejected by
39 votes to 9, a suggestion to accept monetary help
from Football Promoters.
The whole of the recommendations of the
Management Committee had been accepted.
Our proposal regarding a modified
War Service benefit had received no support.

any one match.
Lawton 167. Reported that Chelsea F. C. had first
offered £8,000, increasing to £10,000, for this player's
transfer. It was agreed that the Secretary
ask for £15,000.
Noted that Millwall F. C. had made
no bid.
Wyles. The offer of £500 made by Blackburn
Rovers F. C. being acceptable. Secy. was instructed
to apply to the Football League for permission to
pay this player the maximum as Accrued Share of
Benefit, with a limit of £250.
Noted that Bury F. C. had also
been interested.
Oakes 168. Secy. gave excellent report of this
winger, & said that he had offered £2,000
which the Club were considering.
The player was 26, 5'10" & 11½ st.
reasonably speedy & two footed, although he was
in this match not too good with his head. But in
the present likely constitution of our forwards, he
should be a great asset to either wing.
