south inch Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Lots of excellent stuff on here but its a wee bit late to influence our 2020 Summer Transfer Policy. Perhaps someone a bit more IT savvy than me could update the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic salaries aren’t a very good measure for Saints anyway. There are a VAST variety of bonuses, expenses and incentives on offer which vary wildly from player to player.

Jamie McCart 750 that's a good ane!! Not that I know and I'm not pretending too.unlike some.That fantasy list though !! Yes, it sort of looks like they've been playing CM too much. McCart surely would be on much more. Are these figures net, or gross? Not sure if Saints pay much for travel- hence carpooling. Appearances, yes. Kerr, as Captain, yes. League position yes. Win bonus, yes. Probably a fair boost for a top 6 place. Cup progress, yes. Remember Broonie lamenting Kane's goal v ScumDee that secured Europe? He was delighted, but grisly at the same time, as they'd over compensated for 3rd. Think we actually made a loss If I remember because of that goal. If £750 is pre-tax, that isn't much. And does it include a signing on fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 That list makes no sense. Why would Booth, out of contract and signed as a back up to Tanser be one of our higher earners? Similarly, why would we sign Bryson on such a high wage when it was quite obvious he was signed to be a back-up player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Find it hard to believe that McCann would sign a 3 year contract for £700 a week when Saints were desperate to tie him up to make sure they got a transfer fee. Also are Saints not supposed to have quite a generous bonus system ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Jamie McCart had as good appearance fee as when he was signed it wasn’t assumed he would play as many games as Kerr and Gordon who are both on bigger basic salaries? Maybe Chris Kane will have decent appearance fees or goal bonus, again when he signed his 6 month contract in the summer he was probably 3rd in the pecking order.

Melbourne Saint Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'm not sure many clubs have a clear transfer strategy/ targets for the summer... Pre-contracts were quiet on the whole. This would change of course if someone came in for McCann, then we'd be pretty reactive. I'm sure we'd have a wish list of replacements, but until something happens, quiet. The one I find interesting is Melamed Vs Kane. I'd imagine one will go, at present that'd probably be Melamed. He's gone on record saying he's found it quite difficult to adjust to the game, and homesick. And Covid. So he may choose to go home. We all know what Kane can do week in. We don't know a great deal about Melamed still. He apparently trains well, but some players can't adjust. If it's clear we can't make the 6 & pretty certain to stay up, I'd play Melamed and some others to show they deserve a contract. Otherwise, probably just loans.

Cleveland-Saint Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 We have sales lads and lassies on low salaries, but perks like car allowance cash, free petrol, pension plan match etc, then if they deliver they make all sorts of comp on various commissions. Don't see why creative/canny clubs like saints would not be able to work out similar deals based on appearances, wins, other upside from transfers fees but keep core salary low. SPFL has always been a league for window shoppers, so a way players can get exposure to the big buckeroony spenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickardo Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have it from a very good source that a certain Stevie May is on 4 grand a week .Dont ask me where I get this from as am no tellin ., but allegedly true . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I imagine Davidson will get everyone apart from Parish, Bryson and O'Halloran signed up for next season. I'm not sure if Melamed will want to stay or not. Another question is if Hendry will leave for Aberdeen permanently. I think Davidson really rates Conway, so he'll give him another year. If everyone gets signed up I'd suggest Davidson will only be looking for replacements for MOH (Wright back on loan from Hibs?) & Parish. I'd hope we'd bring in a young goalkeeper who we think we can develop over the next few years. Will we bring in Middleton permanently too? I wonder if there's also room for manoeuvre on some contracts. For example, May was signed to be a first team striker on a large wage. He's no longer that, but mainly a substitute, would his new contract reflect that and thus save some money elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
