The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I take it you disagree with what he posted? If so, why? He's been predicting our financial collapse for over a year now when he really doesn't have a clue. It's been discussed to death on here yet he continues to pretend to be ITK. He once claimed to know what budget George Craig was working with, complete slaver. I'll continue to, rightly, laugh at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adundeemonkey Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Out Season Ticket sales have went over 2000 recently, and from what I have heard St Mirren are at about 1500. Long way to go but that may give an indication on budgets, although I presume the parachute payments will still play a part. One thing that probably needs to be taken into account when looking at the league as a whole is the advantage the East Coast sides will have with the larger away supports. Something that will benefit ourselves the most tbh. Two derbies after a while without one and United and Hibs to visit. While team's like St Mirren and Morton will miss the Sevco hordes the most.

Monkey Tennis Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 it's more in disbelief and no idea of other teams budgets. Unless teams like us get a cup run always going to be treading water. Why disbelief? The make up of the League this season sees Dumbarton as smaller than us, with Ayr, Raith and at a push, Morton similar. The rest are bigger clubs.

Shandon Par Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Pars have new, rebranded collection tins out too. Also had a team of volunteers in doing stadium repairs. We have also given Moffat a full time contract so the old money burning habits are not totally extinguished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 United had a higher wage bill than Hibs last season, but it remains to be seen how much they're willing to spend this season. They've said they'll lower it so based on that this is my, entirely uneducated, guess.. Hibernian Dundee United Falkirk St Mirren Dunfermline Raith Rovers Morton Queen of the South Ayr Dumbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 As long as we have the title wrapped up in April. I couldn't care less how much lower our budget is to Dundee United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 What was the difference between the two? I'm not sure. Steven Thompson had numerous quotes saying United had the third highest wage spend in the country last season though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 United had a higher wage bill than Hibs last season, I sincerely doubt that is true. If it is then that's an abomination of a relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 While team's like St Mirren and Morton will miss the Sevco hordes the most. We won't miss them one bit. Whilst the away end was a little busier than usual, this was countered by an increase in policing costs and a decrease in home fans turning up when faced with the prospect having to share a ground with that lot for a game.

lionel hutz Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I think most people have the right idea Hibernian - Large Home Supports and have a high wage bill United - Similar to Hibs. And yes we did have the 3rd largest budget in the Prem last year. Big Cuts happening. Falkirk - Have a large(ish) home support and are within an hour of all but one team in the Championship. Dunfermline - Will be closer to Falkirk in a couple of years St Mirren - Have quite a decent home support (for the second tier) Raith - Proximity to large away supports Greenock Morton - The Renfrewshire Derbies just pip them above Queens Queen of the South - Poor Away Supports compared to others Ayr (Part Time, I'm led to believe that they'll turn FT if they stay up) Dumbarton - Smallest Club in the League with the smallest ground I sincerely doubt that is true.If it is then that's an abomination of a relegation. Yes It was a minter of a relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'm not sure. Steven Thompson had numerous quotes saying United had the third highest wage spend in the country last season though Was it not 3rd biggest in the division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'm not sure. Steven Thompson had numerous quotes saying United had the third highest wage spend in the country last season though Ah right. I've seen him say that it was the third highest in the top flight. I've no idea how he would know that though given he wouldn't know anyone else's budget.

Doonhamer doon south Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Why disbelief?The make up of the League this season sees Dumbarton as smaller than us, with Ayr, Raith and at a push, Morton similar. The rest are bigger clubs. just in recent seasons we have done reasonably well and although home crowds aren't great I thought we had decent financial situation off the park. But to see where all the budgets of the teams are I didn't think we was where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll continue to, rightly, laugh at him. Who has? Falkirk made 600k from last year's cup final which had only 40k at it. Hibs get to two sellout cup finals therefore £1.5m income is about right. Dempster has been telling the Hibs faithful the loss this season will be 800k. There fore the underlying loss is £2.3m. A club with any sense would not give him a dime. He got the job purely on his friendship with Dempster. They were big mates when she was at Motherwell and he was ruining Falkirk. And she did leave Motherwell in a mess, go ask the Well Society guys if you don't believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 800k loss before cup runs, you can't budget for cup runs as they might not happen, I'm sure you know this. Have another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
