D'Jaffo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Feel free to name which one of Ayr, Morton, Queen of the South, Arbroath or Alloa are likely to be spending more then pls. Looking at the two squads I don’t think anyone can say with confidence that Dunfermline will be either. Caley - a club that was until recently paying Owan Fon Williams a ludicrous wage - will have a comfortable top half of the league budget. The way you and some others go on is like you’re plucky wee Alloa.Aye Robertson gets enough credit for the job he’s done without the fans acting as if he’s working on a shoestring. Can see him being the ideal manager for Hearts next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline will be 5th. Ayr, Morton and us are all probably in the same rough ballpark then the two part time sides. They are 4th. United, Dundee, Partick, them, us is the order. Unsure about the order below that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Why are Dunfermline still behind the likes of Partick Thistle & ICT budget wise? One would have thought they'd just be fractionally less than ourselves these days considering they get around double the attendance of Partick Thistle & ICT.

Based on this: https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/scottish-championship/attendances Because both Partick and Inverness have still had players hanging around with Premiership playing contracts, had parachute payments to work with and, in Partick's case, probably a cash injection either directly, or indirectly (by removing other finance costs) from a multi millionaire. Marginal attendance differences won't make up for that, and in Inverness' case they have published massive financial losses so clearly aren't budgeting round their attendances anyway. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Caley obviously have the lowest budget in all of Scottish professional football. Makes the job Robbo has done all the more impressive imo. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 In fairness to ICT, that statement of theirs does genuinely provoke debate. I'd previously thought the Falkirk statement was as laughable as such a thing could possibly be. However, I've been forced to reconsider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reconstruction was never going to happen but the way this whole thing has been handled has been shambolic. The sooner we get back to games on a Saturday to try and forget all this the better. Hopefully that will be possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vikingTON Posted May 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Inverness trying to get the league declared null and void, while at the same time trying to retain the lion's share of the prize money for being 2nd in the table is an even bigger minter than their official statement yesterday. Gardiner really is an utter moron. Edited May 11, 2020 by vikingTON 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keeping an open mind and not supporting my club on this until there is conclusive evidence of so far which I've seen none, only statements with allegations. Do they record all phone calls? I quite sure this will just end up as ones word against another and we will have to move on regardless all at Rangers financial expense and finally getting round to sorting out next season if and when it fires up again. It’s mainly the latter. As I and others have said numerous times the SPFL is not some autonomous entity separate from its constituent parts, it IS its constituent parts. Some clubs are unhappy with the outcome of this season and nothing will make them happy. But Sevco is using this opportunity to settle old scores, I’m disappointed that clubs like Aberdeen are allowing themselves to get sucked in. If clubs have an issue with Doncaster or anyone else then there’s a time to address it but it should not be on the back Sevco’s twisted agenda or Budge’s revenge mission. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Itll be funny when f**k all happens, inquiries find nothing and we go with the status quo because no c**t can agree. Bottom teams down, top teams up and The Rangers will still be perma seething. Football will resume around September, this will all be forgotten and people will be back to moaning about summer football by Halloween. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Play Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 11 minutes ago, Snafu said: I'll be disappointed if my club has entered into any arrangement with Rangers, we will get shafted. Never trust them, they don't care about anything but their own agenda as you say old scores, stopping Celtic's title run and undermining the SPFL at every opportunity which is all about power. They are no friend of the wee clubs and would gladly reduce other teams influence to gain more power to 'stack the decks in their favour' against their 'enemies' in Scottish football, they are obsessed with it, they are like a megalomaniac Bond villain, they are Ernst Stavro Blofeld. If we are being honest with ourselves I think we can say that with just about any club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 You've got to hand it to those at the helms of our governing bodies and clubs. They've noticed the entertainment vacuum created by the football itself ceasing to take place, and collectively stepped right up to that plate, with their childish incompetent ways. Hats off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
