The popular theory is that he is a day patient at the big hoose at Springfield and they overdid the ECT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 We don't have a bigger budget, we've literally spunked our budget on 3 players despite releasing 12 Which teams will we have a smaller budget than? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Which teams will we have a smaller budget than? Raith will most likely have the biggest budget but Ayr won't be far behind. I have no idea about what your players are earning but I'd imagine that a lot of your budget will have gone on Spence and Buchanan. It's a gamble even though they're two of the best strikers in this league as the rest of your squad may be weaker in areas. Considering you've still got a few players to sign it may have been wiser to sign just one of those strikers and invest in other areas. A prime example was us last year. McCall blew most of our budget on Harkins when he could've easily signed 2 or 3 other players that may have helped us stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know all about the perils of a budget spunked on ineffective players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the spurious claims that we're paying Buchanan £900 pw are to be believed then you can say that a large part of the budget is gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 If the spurious claims that we're paying Buchanan £900 pw are to be believed then you can say that a large part of the budget is gone. Never ceases to amaze me that football player wages seem to get easily floated about by fans of the clubs. Let's be honest, it was a claim by a Livi fan who's trying to justify why their top scorer left the club. We'll sign additional players. Usually managers will come out to the press moaning about the lack of a budget remaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually managers will come out to the press moaning about the lack of a budget remaining. I'm a bit gullible though. But I seriously don't believe it's possible to be paying that much. I know we have to tighten the budget, it's only natural when you drop down the league. I'm sure Smith has his targets and I'm sure the loan system will come into effect. We have a healthy youth system and we really do need to use them this season. It worked for Falkirk, it might just work for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If (IF) we can afford to pay players £900 a week, then that would suggest to me we have a budget bigger than most - if not all - teams in this league.I'm assuming you are basing your argument on budget remaining rather than overall budget? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Would the pars actually pay a fee for him. Don't think so. It wouldn't take much. Chairman said in his first interview after we were relegated we're not in a position to stand in a players way if they want to leave. I'm sure Dunfermline could have him if they wanted. They've got bigger stands for him to hit row z at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
