It was a diet banter years squashed into a seven month period. On topic, I'm sure Killie paid £100k for Manuel Pascali. Worth it IMO. I've a feeling we paid a fee for Craig Dargo in 2000, although not sure of the amount. According to Wiki he was a free transfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saigon Raider Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Saints first spent £100,000 with signing of Gary McGinnis from Dundee United in early 1990. Alex Totten would go on to spend six figures a further six times in straight deals before his departure in December 1992: John Inglis (Meadowbank Thistle) - £115,000 Tommy Turner (Morton) - £100,000 John Davies (Clydebank) - £165,000 Paul Sweeney (Newcastle United) - £100,000 Paul Wright (Hibernian) - £285,000 Sean McAuley (Manchester United) - £100,000 Club record was set in January 1994 when £500,000 was spent on Dundee pair Billy Dodds and Grant McMartin. The former was valued at £400,000. The last instance of the club spending six figures was the signing of Peter McDonald from Rangers for £125,000 in August 2001.Add to this Paddy Connolly, who I am sure cost £165,000 from Airdrie. John Inglis was a great defender and a right sexy b*****d as well, can’t remember exactly but did something happen with him and David Murray’s wife/girlfriend??Paul Wright was one of my favourite players. At one stage I remember going to Raith and we had Wright, O’Boyle and, I think, Dodds as our front three. Wright blew his knees out soon after and don’t think he was ever the same.I liked John Davies. Two Celtic managers got sacked after he scored the winner against them at McDiarmid - Macari and Brady????Tommy Turner was an absolute b*****d and must have been horrible to play against but he was loved by the support.I am about 60% sure about these memories - feels like a long time ago... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navallion Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Souttar from United wasn't a bad bit of business. 170k or something like that I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player signed up for our #TB4 bros in order to win some medals. During his time at FP, Kilmarnock won the Scottish Cup, Motherwell won nothing. Hard lines Shaun. Can we not just pretend the whole Shaun McSkimming thing didn’t happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that figure is correct, then that is absolutely ridiculous and Levein should have been punted immediately, sentenced to 12 years in jail and given a lifetime ban from football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 3 hours ago, Estragon is a fud said: Was it just clubs spending what they couldn't actually afford or has this much wealth really disappeared from our game? I think there is a direct correlation between the amount spent on transfer fees in the 90's and the number of clubs that went into administration in the first decade or so of the 21'st century. Essentially a bunch of club chairmen were drinking the same Kool-aid as David Murray was at Rangers and throwing money around that they didn't really have assuming Sky would continue to fund the SPL, when the same chairmen made a complete arse of renegotiating the Sky deal from 2002 onwards it all went tits up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF1986 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It sounds more of a bizarre nightmare than reality but I'm sure, typical of our financial mismanagement at that time, Killie paid somewhere in the region of £150k for 32/33 year old Andy Smith who went on to score a full 1 goal for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was actually the transfer fee of £700K plus Billy Doods , who we could probably have got several hundred thousand for , at that time. Thank you , Alex Miller ....thanks a fvkkin million 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
