;“We worked it out to cost ■ about $90,000,” said Mr • Dempsey. “Without three of : their star players we would I be struggling to recoup ! costs.” Manchester City was Mr j Adshead’s. first choice as an opponent for his World Cup : side in their build-up. Now he is looking for the leading \ second division sides, Watford, Luton Town, Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers — ; in that order — to fill the gap.
