Dear Noel,

I am a former free-taker. I’ve been asked to do free-taking coaching with a neighbouring club, but don’t know what to charge.

I was thinking about an innovative pricing structure based on what their free-taker scores in league and championship matches.

Basically, my idea is that I would get a €10 meal voucher for every 14-yard free he taps over. For anything he nails between there and 30 yards out, they give me a leg of organic lamb. From there to the 50, I’m entitled to a half-fill of petrol.

A straight €50 for all 50s he sends over, and an overnight in a Lynch Hotel for anything he gets out beyond that. If the goalie points a kick-out, I’d be suggesting a ride-on lawnmower.

I’d appreciate your views on this proposed structure, Noel. I’d like to get this right from the off.

Noel replies – I hope their free-taker misses everything and leaves you owing them thousands. Noel won’t see you stuck.
