Are you lads trying to set the record for most bullshit? Who told you this? Why do you think it's acceptable to post confidential information on a public forum just for attention? Why are you a fanny? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Rubbish! Our budget will be by far the strongest in that league. Ayr had the smallest budget last season and Airdrie are keeping theirs tight as to build themselves gradually through predominantly youth full time contracts. We have assets to move on, players under contract and a big clear out of wages that were misspent last season. £600 per week for the likes of McHattie, even half of that would get you one of the better players in League 1 on a full time contract. The club are quite correctly taking their time on appointing a manager that they believe can get us up. They're taking time to ensure they do t make the same mistake a third time round and their taking their time to get a plan in place. But yet people still want to criticise them..? £300 per week . That's minimum wage. You really are fucking deluded if you pay wages like that for a full time player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHans Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 £300 per week . That's minimum wage. You really are fucking deluded if you pay wages like that for a full time player. Hands up, my maths was slightly off there. But my point remains that paying £600 per week freed up by releasing a distinctly average player will likely help provide wages that will be better spent at League 1 level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what, a month of trying to find somebody? Maybe their heads have been turned by Daren Dods since he got Brechin promoted and they're trying to work something out there?

grumswall Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Would they need to wait to announce that though? It's essentially a pca so you could announce it whenever I would have thought? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs down on Saturday I believe but I'm not sure you'd need to wait until that runs down to announce anything anyway. In any case, if what I've heard is accurate then your new gaffer won't be Stevie Aitken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
