We don't tend to be pissing money against the wall anymore. In all my P and B years, I've never seen this mythical list of budgets. Is it actually 'a thing' or do people just make assumptions based on attendances? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs don’t publish turnover figures, but in Thistle’s case attendance income probably accounts for only about 1/3 of the total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there’s no definitive, ranked list, but you can usually make an educated guess on how the budgets rank based on the size of club, size of crowd and even going by the players that clubs sign. ETA - there are a few exceptions, such as your own club, where the budget is far harder to place due to the unknown level of outside investment involved. But even then you can still make a guess by looking at the squad. Edited May 17 by Nightmare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I think a fair amount of info can be gathered by player movement / offers from other clubs / who they end up with / who they turned down, albeit speculatively, but back-of-cigarette-packet equations can be there or thereabouts - add in attendances, and off field activities / income makers and other than that, it’s a guesstimate really. So aye, it’s all a pile of pish really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
