I can assure you that Chris Kane will not be requesting wages that we see him even come close to Clark, Bryson, Conway or May. Not even close!

Not even close! Bryson and Conway aren't even close to our highest earners. Presumably this is just another way folk want to have digs at them though, I guess.

Templar Saint Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Love this thread when we get all in the know posters commenting on what kind of wage level our players are on. Just wish they were backed up with facts to justify the comment. blueheaven, Tranmere Saintee and Havana Saint 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players wages like your wage and most of us on here is a private matter and whilst you can speculate as much as you want PLEASE PLEASE do not post it as fact cause really you are only guessing or going by some football game like FIFA 9 hours ago, Templar Saint said: Love this thread when we get all in the know posters commenting on what kind of wage level our players are on.

I don't like fans having digs at any of our players but have you not done that with your original post regarding Kanes 'presumed' demands for extortionate money despite having scored only four goals? Come on lets be seen to be consistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hopefully Saints get most of their team re signed or extended asap as Hearts will be looking for players with a proven Premiership record. Saints are in a better position financially than most in the Premiership so with probably the best squad in many a year,now is the time to push on & be a bit more adventurous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pretend to have any insight, but was there not a relatively detailed breakdown published by the SPFL recently to do with the FFP stuff that detailed clubs wage bills and the range from lowest to highest paid players? I'm sure someone posted something fairly recently that compared the 12 SPL teams in that respect. Frankly it doesn't bother me much. We know that Steve Brown is not a risk taker with the club's finances, so if the manager can get deals done to keep players or sign players within that context, good on him. I would just love to see this squad kept largely in tact for next season. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Utd did the same - bought Shankland for £250k & then asked the players to take wage cuts & begged the Supporters club to raise £100k for the club. Economics of tthe madhouse.

No doubt we'll get the same again this summer - these clubs pleading poverty while at the same time outspending Saints by a long, long way. It's really quite incredible that after all these years, none of these clubs have looked at what Saints do and realised they could copy our model, with bigger crowds than us, and be pretty bloody successful.

So true... clubs like Dundee United chasing the success of the cups and Europe of bygone eras to quench the thirst of their deluded fans. At Saints we have just excepted that we pay lower wages and that means that we won’t get the success of winning national troph....oh wait! Well, we might have won a couple of cups but we are realistic to know that we won’t qualify for Europ... oh wait!!! How many players can we name that we know of, or even think, that have signed for other teams because they have been able to offer better terms than us, that we have gone on to really regret. Yeah I would have liked Shankland. Yeah I would have liked Nesbitt. Once upon a time we were hours from signing Leigh Griffiths. But plenty of the run of the mill guys on absorbent wages that we may have been interested in but they ended up at United or Motherwell or Hibs or Hearts...Na, don’t regret many of them.

Yeah, teams like United & Motherwell seem to get good money for sometimes average & the odd good player. Saints suffer from the same problem for transfers & Scotland caps, everyone thinks if they play for a diddy club they can't be any good.
