par-adise Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 7 minutes ago, D'Jaffo said: If that figure is accurate then it explains why we missed out on him as even that is above what we’d be willing to pay for a player. I’m not sure who our highest earner would be. Best guess is someone like Dowds or McMann and I reckon even they will fall short of that number. The figure is what was allegedly quoted by the Courier to McPake as what Ayr had offered him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 25 minutes ago, par-adise said: Plus a figure a journalist heard through the grapevine, whosaid to McPake (for a cheap headline it seems), who said to Meggle, who said to a group of fans isn't very robust. Given we were interested in Ashcroft, it seems much more likely that the figure came from his agent, rather than a journalist. Not sure where that assumption came from. Having said that, I wouldn’t put it past an agent to claim other clubs have offered £1,700 per week, when they’ve only offered £1,400 or something, to try and squeeze as much money out of clubs as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an assumption. According to that write up from last night on EEB Meggle said it was quoted by a journalist to McPake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as he's signed a two year deal with Thistle he'll be on less than that I assume now as he has guaranteed money for two years at the age of 31. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 2 hours ago, par-adise said: Interesting reading. I'm not having that £1700 a week figure for Ashcroft though. They're allegedly throwing a similar (slightly higher) figure at Oakley. Shouldn't be a shock to any fans of Ayr, Raith or Partick that the clubs see an opportunity and are chucking money at going up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I doubt there are many (if any) players in this division making £1700 p/w basic salary. I haven’t been told any actual figures for specific players but going by what I’ve heard from someone at PTFC who would have this kind of insight, the basic wage at this level is relatively low but often supplemented by appearance fees, goal bonuses, clean sheet bonuses, etc. There may be a few players with these types of additional clauses that can clear somewhere up to £2k on a good week, but even then I’d guess there will only be a handful of them across the whole division. And Lee Ashcroft being one of them seems a shout that’s far-fetched at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over Par Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Benedictus is probably our highest earner? Not sure what Kane is on, but would be close to being the highest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldReekie Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I'd imagine Bene, Wotherspoon and Kane all at the upper end of wage structure in the experienced players/leaders group mentioned in last night's update. Big season for Bene if we're being honest - needs to avoid injury and while he improved the team on his return last season, going to be under a lot of scrutiny this season and his performance at the weekend (while a pre-season friendly) was... concerning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 8 hours ago, Heaton said: If the trialists came on, then we'll need to sign them first They were on, and I think they will both be signed up. I thought our young lads played without fear and they gave a really good performance. They got forward quicker and more directly than the established players. McPake said that some first team players better look over their shoulder because these young lads are playing and training really well. Once again Taylor is proving to be a handful for defenders, and was, IMO, the standout player last night. McCann seems to be playing much better so far this season too, and looks like he has picked up some pace in comparison to last season? Bene must have a headache and sore neck today, he cleared some powerful shots with his head in the fist half, one in particular made him take a minute or two to recover from. Chalmers was hot and cold last night, and I think he has to be more forward thinking than sideways or back. Mehmet wasn’t good enough last night, I don’t anything good to say about him so I’ll say no more. IMO, that was a good performance against a decent premier team, and even more so in the second half. https://dafc.co.uk/manager-post-dundee/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
