RossBFaeDundee Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Such blatant bribery is terrible, we all know only the Old Firm get away with violating the sanctity of Scottish football. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Absolutely pathetic. Say Brechin managed to get 200 home fans at a tenner a head, that's a fortnightly income of £2000. So if you knock off half of that just for the novelty of playing somewhere else, you're left with a grand to cover wages and expenses for the two games, travel to Dalbeattie/Berwick/Galashiels etc, hire of a training facility and so on. Even with a bit of sponsorship and some earnings from hospitality, how is it possible to run at anything other than a loss? Wasting limited time pursuing things which were always going to be an utterly embarrassing dead-end avenue is simply going to leave us in a situation where we're still faffing around a few weeks before the new season, still not sure what to do / where to train as we struggle to assemble a squad after every available semi-competent player has been signed up elsewhere. Finding a competent manager to sign such players in the first place would be a welcome priority.

drs Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Brechin were always going to be the scalp everyone wanted in the HL next season by now telling the clubs they don't want to even play in their league they've made themselves an even bigger target. The "we sign players from the central belt" policy has clearly failed so why on earth arent they already looking at picking up the cream of the HL and the former Dundee and Aberdeen junior leagues to put together a local squad? Instead of planning for the future, which they should have been doing months ago, they appear to be pissing about in an attempt to be put into a tougher league whilst forgetting the actual on-field product, its all a bit Mayor of Amity at the moment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 You daft c***s are going to get some reception when you show up for games in the Highland League, a league you’re now going to be stuck in forever. Uses to be a nice club, Brechin. This is a shambles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citytillidie Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Don’t even know what to say anymore, absolute shambles fair play to our board for keeping up the banter and making us the most hated club in Scotland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I get that it might appear easier to entice players in the Lowland League, but I can't see Brechin's rationale here. The Lowland League, without even getting into teams in Tier 6, will be tougher than the Highland League. Any goodwill and credibility is gone now, really feel sorry for the Brechin fans. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 It's morally acceptable to hope Brechin get liquidated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Zingari Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The pyramid system was brought in prematurely, without being properly thought out. It's unfair that Brechin are being forced to play in the Highland League. I have no problem with them attempting to switch to the Lowland League. -14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appropriate time to question the location of the Club 42 boundary was when it was first being brought in. If they were arrogant/foolish enough to believe there was no need to do so because it would never effect them because only Cove Rangers and Spartans were ever likely to move up and clubs like Kelty Hearts would stay in the juniors in perpetuity then they have received the outcome they deserved.

Well unless things have changed you'll have £40k and £20k parachute payments for your next two seasons, so you would probably survive. But that would still be almost half spent on just being in the LL in the first season - so less to spend on players, which means less chance of winning the league, meaning you'll definitely be stuck in non-league in season 3. Especially when the LL diddies get replaced by the tier 6 big guns, one of which put you out of the cup in December.
