I know for a fact that a player you signed last summer who was interesting st Johnstone, is on 5k per week and he hardly plays. Unbelievable money to pay for a player who is average. Good luck to the player but surely lessons need to learned . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the player but surely lessons need to learned . I can categorically tell you now, that no Dundee player is on 5k a week. Our accounts will show a positive if we make the top 6 this season considering we'll receive the majority of our SPFL payment (As all top 6 clubs do) before the end of the financial year/football season rather than in August (Like the bottom 6 do). TV money, our coaching team being on a lower wage than the Bomber era (That's unbelievable, I know!), higher away attendances, our highest average attendance in years and obviously the previously stated Prem money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrybiy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I thought the £3 million was costs and the actual loss was 800k which is bad but nowhere near what the courier are reporting, but I have the financial nous of our previous boards. Posted about Dundee before on here and the direction the Americans are taking the club in, but was shot down by many fans of the Dee saying that "all is fine". Surely these financial figures prove otherwise. I will ask again, what are the Americans intentions for Dundee? Did they not claim that they were going to purchase Dens from John Bennett? How is that going? They said they were going down the route of youth and did in fact spend money on an indoor training facility? How is this going? Are Dundee fans worried about their current level of spending? Do they think it is sustainable? Im not trying to have a go here, just had my suspicions about the Americans ever since they took over and looking for a fans insight into matters. I was one of the Dees that didn't want to accept them as soon as they came in just because they had money, but they seem to be doing fine. It's worrying how easily our fans are swayed by people with money, especially considering our past I've always thought the buying back Dens was an empty promise and that seems to be the case. No idea what's happening with the youth because I don't pay attention to that, I've heard both good and bad things. As for the spending, I'm assuming a lot of that was the board signing everyone in a desperate attempt to get promoted with Bomber. When that failed we punted him which would have meant paying him and I'm sure we had a couple of other background staff to pay off. These are all one offs and we're actually spending less on management now. At the end of this year we'll get rid of the players who extended their contracts for a year, Hartley didn't want them but had to keep them. I don't think the prize money for the league was in that figure either so that's more to the pot. We'll have more of an idea about all this in this years or next years accounts, but the current spending looks to be unacceptable but not as bad as has been reported. The Americans are doing well but they may have told a few fibs to get in in the first place, they may just look good in comparison to previous boards. This isn't a burying my head in the sand type post I just think everyone's going to jump on the here we go again bandwagon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Of the £405,000 that we get paid for winning the Championship, only £110,000 would have been registered in our accounts for this period as we receive the remaining balance in August. In comparison, the Prem club that is relegated in 12th position will have received £700,000 over the same period (With £110,000 being paid to them in August). We'll do much better financially this season, but it doesn't detract from the fact that last season wasn't the healthiest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieDee Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Effectively our "real" issue was the £214k current liability at end of May. That is negligible in the scheme of things. Now safely in premier league and while none of us know what the result for this year will be I for one am not panicking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Kevin Thompson is not on 5k a week. Laughable to even suggest so. Closer to half that, and taking a bit off again and that's our highest paid player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
