D'Jaffo Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Out of curiously, where do you think a club of Ayr United size should be aiming this season and beyond. 5th/6th for this season with a view to be regularly competing for the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 I honestly don't believe I'm being negative by saying we shouldn't be giving full time contacts to Jamie Adams.We’re not giving Adams a FT deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Out of curiously, where do you think a club of Ayr United size should be aiming this season and beyond. This coming season, a similar position would be outstanding, as we consolidate ourselves in this league. Medium term, aiming for promotion, or at least being a serious challenger. But aims and targets are not a minimum. We were aiming for survival this past season and found ourselves top after a good few months. That's football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Another point about money one good season of TV money and decent prize money is not going to fix years of probably struggling to break even, would I love to be in Livingston's position yes, would I want administration twice no 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a "pay as you play" deal wouldn't be ideal, it feels were quite desperate to keep him, meanwhile not trying to replace him. And if I remember right we tried that with Campbell in the Roberts era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railwayend Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Spoiler Jamie Adams hardly takes a penny out of Ayr due to his business interests . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Without sounding overly bullish, I'd be expecting at least 3 - 4 high profile new signings as we will have wages freed up on Shankland, McDaid, Rose, Smith, Higgins and possibly Crawford and Moore, who were all high profile and I'd imagine our highest earners. Over and above this we've lost Cadden, Miller & Doohan who I'd imagine would have been on decent money, not to mention that the guys we have offered extensions to are apparently on less money, so whatever way you look at it we should have a decent pot of cash available on wages, even if this seasons budget is slightly less than last........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railwayend Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Some teams use the Betfred Cup as a pre season bounce match arrangement . McCall doesn't and view's it as an opportunity to raise revenue . As a result last season we got to the quarters and a game with Rangers which turned in a six figure pay day . The season previous it was a last 16 tie with Hibs at Easter Road in front of 8,000 fans which again provided a nice cheque . the season before that it was Aberdeen at home in front of a more modest crowd ,again though free money compared to be knocked out at the group stages . Each group qualification also netted prize money of about £30,000 a pop . I'd say all this could be described as good planning and good preparation . What we have not done so well is plan for the long haul ,go the distance . The young players struggled from the half way stage ,maybe having no experience to draw on didn't help them . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week later he re-signs for the Pars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll still have a higher budget than Ayr though, if Ayr have a bigger budget than Dunfermline you'd be living outwith your means, it's absolutely not worth risking the club over. 4 minutes ago, SUPERSOUTH said: Good player where he off too?

railwayend Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I think the signing of Doolan (hopefully) which has followed Muirhead will indicate a direction of travel that demonstrates that he is looking for guys with recent Premiership experience . I hope we get another three or four of that kind of calibre ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
