It's gonna be very difficult because they're gonna be paying basically twice what they should be to move a player on.
Warren Smith· Host0:05
All right. Welcome to Kentie Blitz, Sunday edition, Ask Kentie. Remember, leave your questions down below and we'll get around to asking them during the show next week. All right, here we go.

Paul Kent· Host0:28

Paul Kent· Host1:16
Well, that's more than minimum wage- Yeah ... so that'd be all right, yeah.
