kerrdavidson95 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 I genuinely have no recollection at all of Ewan McNeil. Ewan McNeil is a right back who we signed from Rangers for a few months. He was good. Got a move to Norwich from the SPL exit trials and now turns out for Berwick.

touchedbymadness Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It's fairly obvious to say that we can now probably attract youngsters that want to remain full time and who may not make the grade at Premiership clubs. My point is, there are several clubs in a better position scrambling about for the same type of player. Next season it just so happens that we'll be in the worst position of all the full time clubs, from a league perspective anyway, and perhaps the least attractive on that basis. It's a brave and bold move to go full time at the moment, and it'll take a lot of work to build us a team capable of challenging to get out this league, especially if we're going down the route of untested youngsters. Though if that gamble pays off, it could do so very handsomely. Didnt the chairman say that our budget would be similar to now? To share about £2500/week between 16 f/t and 10 u20s is ot an easy task if you're lookin for quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 or 4 experienced pros - Faria (possibly Esposito??) plus 1 or 2 others will account for probably 30-40% of the wage bill. The younger guys will be on a basic wage with bonuses.

Craigyboy Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 2500 per week....where did you magic that figure from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper81 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Good question as per above. I find it funny people come out with figures and they probably are just guessing. I like facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchedbymadness Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 2500 per week....where did you magic that figure from? I have my methods. Am I wrong? If so, I humbly apologise. I dont know the current figure, basing it on a fact from a year or 2 ago and the noted rise from this year. I did say "about" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper81 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Tom said the budget would be slightly higher but with a smaller squad. The squad budget was increased by 30% when tom came in. Tom said he wouldn't throw out big wages he also did say if we were paying a little more to get a player it would need to represent value. Yes at the end of this season alot of players will go and I believe your bain, cadden, watt will remain but I won't be surprised if Lithgow and couple others may be kept if they perform well now to the end of the season.

Craigyboy Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just saying that if it is 26 players in full time....that would work out at about 100 quid a week......that's stupid talk..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware we had increased budget slightly this year. During Boyle's era the bulk of our squad were on double figures. One night at Ibrox we had a right back on £20/week and a centre half on £10/week. The weekly bill was approx. £2150 per week. Coaches and assts were working for expenses. Players like Bain and McLaren, and bulk of squad, were on £75-£80/week. Bollan didnt have any come and go on that till this season (see TW's interview).

Cooper81 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 touched by madness you may find the figure was more like £100- £120 a week I know not a huge difference. The season we went up by default this increase in wage was a pittance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
