Back to basics.
we have £300K more income from prize money last season and the income from Hearts/Rangers last year...
That is why we can afford to pay Heffernan £20K to sit on the bench for a few weeks.
Hewitson and Fowler are doing ok.
we will finish 3rd.
Check the odds

Did Fowler make an error of judgement in his selection on Tuesday?
The only plus was Brownlie.
Did Beanie n Dowie have injuries?
If they are back at Dumbarton then we will win.
Lyle, Higgins, Dowie n Beanie have been our most important players so far

Firstly if your paragraphs are more than 2 sentences without breaks then I do not read it,
SD and MT may be articulate but c'mon you would never get a job with the Daily Record.
Yawn!

Do you actually write in paragraphs.
I look at your mono paragraph posts and think f**k it! Life is too short. I would rather go for a swim at Sandyhills and actually chance it in the channel

Relax ... Baird is a buzz bomb who will score a few goals.
What do you think about the big team stealing Kerr and paying the old guy 30% (£15000) more than at Palmy?
Good business. The fans kinda see Hewitson as smart!

Do you actually know that most posters won't read a garbled paragraph? With no paras.
FFS life is difficult enuf !!!
I have even forgotten what the subject of the post was.
Keep it short and punchy...
Like Steve Tosh was up to no good and the merchant banker was a w****r!

Well.....
I expect Baird and Kerr experienced a nice little uplift in their pay packets last season and this.
Looks like good business by Hewitson off loading a couple of expensive duds?

Yep JRSLP
Bigger budget doesn't always mean more points but if it doesn't then questions need of be asked.
Seems to me that well managed clubs like Ross County, ICT and St Johnstone and maybe us can thrive on a combination of prudent financial management, forward thinking Board, good facilities and young talented managers.
I have been critical of the Board in the past but am encouraged by Hewitson's leadership and young Blount's support in past 2 seasons

I know neither budget sizes of Morton or Dunfermline, fine line between both I'd imagine but I've never agreed with the biggest budget = where you finish within reason, debated it many times on here with our league last season points to my thots, where you will be lucky to find one team in the place of their budgets finishing per budget dictates.
3 times each teams budget is out of my reasoning.

Hmm not your clearest of posts Mr D.
I agree that size of budget does not necessarily govern league position.
But...if a team has a bigger budget (30%) e.g. Falkirk than another team e.g. QoS and they the bigger budget team finishes behind the lesser budget team then questions have to be asked about the management, coach, signing policies of that bigger budget team.
Apart from Falkirk's obvious management/signing issues.....................
I would estimate that our player budget is similar to Raith's and Morton but a bit less than Falkirks's, (130%) St Mirren (200%) and Hibs (300%) in that order.

Aye well! ... we have moved on here from the alcoholic depressant!
Although I have been known to indulge in the Grangemouth vapours!

Trying way way way too hard.
Thanks "leither" Are all the other self absorbed tossers on here asleep?
I will debate the merits of the fat boy against true Queens greats until the Ayrshire coos come home.
Are you trying too hard to be a smart arse?

Stephen Dobbie signs a year deal at Neil Lennons Bolton. He has done well for himself since leaving Queens.
He has talent and quick feet but he has never been fully fit and fulfilled 100% potential.
He was fat and slow for much of his time with us and rightly dropped in Denmark for example by a manager who could see a waster.
One season he applies himself and gets a deal.
Queens legend? f**k off!

Anyway.. I've been asleep for a few days and I notice that the country isn't any better for it.
Roaster! I like that! Critical but complimentary at times while occasionally facetious.
Anyway has square Heid/rubber lips signed any players yet? Apart from fat boy ?

FFS.
Ghastly Ghastly....
Dobbie was fat and slow for most of his time at Palmerston.
Paterson and Neil Martin were 10 times the player fat boy was...

Hmmm.. Usual shit from the usual shit posters.
The squad looks good to me!
Kidd and Millar could be the best 2 players in this league.
Higgins also could break thru. To be a 15+ scorer.
Plus the stalwarts! Good word stalwarts!
Fowler, Skelton. Hewitson. Young ambitious and forward thinking.....

There is a formula for assessing compensation based on 4 categories of clubs together with the cost of development which can include training, physio, travel, accommodation costs but also the cost of salaries of the the coaches.
That is one reason why Dundee United were hit by £200k for Charlie Telfer cos of Murray Park extortionate coaching regime.
0 -
Wrong as usual I'm afraid. We got £215,000 for Mark Stewart, which was purely compensatory
There is nothing more humiliating than trying to be a smart arse and actually being a dumb fuckwit. You didn't get that figure.

MT you talk shite sometimes!
FFC get Fee for players because they are under contract.
The money we get is compensation for young development players. A bit different.
0 -
What bollocks is talked by posters who haven't a clue about compensation. Move on...
We could have a decent squad if the young signings fulfil potential.
Certainly better than FFC and RFC our nearest rivals.
No more signings needed.

Hmm. Without one or two 15+ goal scorers in your team your fairly competent squad will struggle to compete with us for 4th. You could even come up against RRFC and MFC for 5th & 6th. Sign a goal scorer and you could do well.

Conroy and Jacobs are among best penalty takers as are Millar and Russell. Tactics for next season?

McHugh has has more talent than Baird but was overweight when with us. Could be a decent signing at this level.

Fly me to the moon.
"In other words hold my hand"
I do kinda like it when you post a riposte and then delete it! Wasn't very good was it?
Never mind Kirky your crass and ignorant comment is safe with me
