I wonder if our management have considered purchasing a number of those new units/townhouses that are being built in Bruce next to the stadium. They could then rent them out to potential recruits at, lets say, "around about" market rates as a bit of an incentive to sign up. The player would then be able to live right near the stadium and training facilities in a brand new house, maybe already furnished (if required) and it doesn't mean they have to go through the hassle of buying here if they don't want. They can then spend all their contract on playstation games, poker nights, scantily clad women and fast cars or whatever the hell rows their boat.
If the players don't take them up as an option then we could just rent them out to the general public for the year. Either way it's probably a good investment.
I know that sort of stuff gets included in the salary cap in some way, but I'm sure there are some creative accountants out there that can make this sort of proposition more attractive to players. Meh, I don't know if it'll work - maybe they're doing something similar already (I saw Zilly riding his bike to training around there the other day), but I just thought it's something they should consider if not already.
