Guest Ecosse83 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Arfield wants to finish his playing career with us but reckon it’s still a year too soon! Will end up at another Premiership team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be funded by other investors ? We don't really do anything like that, and don't have investors. Just running on no turnover loss and whatever the budget is, it is. It's apparently being sold to him that we have a good track record in getting guys who recently stopped playing better jobs elsewhere after a while. Bartley went to QoTs after coaching with us for years and playing, Imrie to Morton, Fox to Dundee Utd/Aberdeen. Berra will probably go somewhere decent too. I can honestly see him playing with us for a year and taking the Falkirk job next summer once he has experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Considering Livi lost Devlin as they couldn't afford him i find it hard to think they can afford Arfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will end up at another Premiership team. Can’t see him dropping as low as league one or taking such a hit in wages but he has stated publicly a few times his desire to return to the Falkirk before retires. Extremely unlikely at this juncture I’d say but we can dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlin was saying he was open to staying in February but Martindale was saying he's in the market for a new RB. He's probably gone from 1.5k-2k (likely our highest earner) to easily 5-6k at Aberdeen, and he's just had a baby as well. Fair play to him for going out and securing his future a bit more.

Guest Ecosse83 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I don’t think money will be a massive factor in it for Arfield, he will be a multi millionaire! It will be purely a footballing decision. Livingston might be the best place for him to continue at the highest level! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way he’s signed for Aberdeen on that type of wage. I am friendly with many dandies and can assure you that the figures you’ve quoted for Aberdeen are nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when Halkett went to Hearts he was on 7-8k per week, Forrest was around 4k. Was basing that on those numbers, on the basis both clubs probably pay similar wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t any information on Hearts, but believe Aberdeen basic wage structure is considerably lower than your original post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Bairnardo said: I don't think Champions or sacked would have been seen as a reasonable bar by anyone, supporters included, when he was hired. We finished 7th in League One under Potter in 2014/2015 and were absolutely at our lowest ebb and Allan Johnston came in and immediately turned us into runaway champions and I think most people - before this season anyway - would agree that McGlynn is a better manager than AJ. McGlynn inherited a mess but any argument that it was some major challenge is slightly misleading. He's a very experienced coach, had a really healthy budget and not only failed to win the title, he didn't even come close and was then battered senseless in the play-offs. Sacking him would probably cost too much so think the Falkirk board are making the right call to let him try again but he certainly could have had zero complaints if they'd pulled the trigger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
