Abernethy Saint Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 37 minutes ago, sasha said: It’s always been about the coin, I understand using Randoms statement it’s a business but it’s farcical sometimes. Offering amateur contracts to boys going full time instead of £125 a week. Paying youth coaches £50 per week working out around £3 an hour. Using numerous volunteers to help run the Academy and club. Not replacing a General Manager, which they need desperately etc etc etc The thought of others going bust by paying top wages is a correct one but surely there has to be a balance. Maybe it’s the plan to go down, take the money and move on. Could be getting the balance sheet looking healthy to attract a buyer.......

Cagey Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Playing bottom club & play one up front. Punt high balls on a windy day to guy who hasn't another team mate within 15 yards. Black clouds haven't gone Tommy. Doubt if they will as long as you are manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland-Saint Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 That's petty harsh... we have the nucleus of a decent and exciting side, that needs time and will do just fine with one or two additions.. With a budget far less than most, I cant think of any alternative I'd like in that seat to bring this bunch together as a team. It speaks more than words that players in transition/change, seek out Tommy and want to come back. He always seems to focus on team culture and dynamics 1st - happy players will play well together with trust ---- results follow. I think we will do just fine this season and hope with this side, we will be more entertained than last two years and goals will flow. templeofsaints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus man, I’ve said this before but you would stumble across gold bars and moan that they were heavy. I thought we more than matched Killie today. They scored with their only decent chance and that came from a defensive howler on our part. We got caught in possession a couple of times today, and still lack any real support from central midfield, but I actually enjoyed today’s game. I’ve seen us play worse and win.

Budgets have income and expenditure The chairman quoted figures at the open forum for wages being 8th highest excluding bonuses and home crowds being 14th. There is a differential there before you consider bonuses . So unless you have seen actual spreadsheets or documents do not think you can comment on were our budget stands in comparison to other teams.
