Shodwall cat Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 15 hours ago, WC Boggs said: There are fair play rules supposed to stop clubs spending above their revenue. Sugar daddies and directors can get round it by paying wages directly from their own money or half the money under the table. I feel sorry for the city fans though. It was rumoured for some time that City was only meeting wages by regular begging around Edinburgh for cash. What are fans supposed to do about it, but keep quiet and hope the worst doesn't happen? Is there any ffp rules in Scottish football? I've certainly never heard of any . I would presume any club entering European competitions will have to match it's ffp rules but apart from that it would appear to be a complete free for all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcement doesn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bod Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Feel for the loyal supporters and the players. Young guys some with families I'd expect and no wage coming in, bad anytime but more so this time of year. All the best going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to be corrected but most of those players released last week were part-timers with weekly ECFC wage in the low hundreds, and would have had some part-time employment elsewhere. But still - quite a dent to their income when everyone is stretched just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So guys like Ryan Shanley etc are now free agents? Edited December 12, 2023 by Cowdenleith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the sweepstakes of who is most likely to try and buy Edinburgh City's league place I'll go for East Kilbride. Hopefully it won't come to that though and there's a way to exit administration with Edinburgh City fans running things again. Aye but is it the same club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they have been released now they won't be able to join an SPFL side until the window can however join clubs in the LL and below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The last couple of pages of this thread read like an episode from the 1890's when Scottish football was still in its growing pains. It's a sad tale though and I really hope that some way can be found to stabilise the club. I also hope there is no prospect of anyone or any club being permitted to simply 'buy the seat' should EC fall on their sword. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Got a bit emotional at Danny's goodbye there. A player I've loved watching over the years. I think he'd have stayed if at all possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
