raith_94 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A lot of well reasoned posts on both sides of this deal....I'm in the They're All Risks On Both Sides camp. We'll make hay off some more than others, and circumstances dictates how well all our kids will do. £100+k is best we can get at our level and we pray for big coin from progression. We assume our well intentioned gaffer has the future proofing in hand. If he doesn't we move on there too. I (want to) believe he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC2711 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm sorry but we finished second in the league which equates to £400k, £500k from the government. £100k from fans. £5K PM from more fans. 1000+ season tickets. I'm sorry but we must be one of the clubs to have made a profit from the virus. The money for the electric system would have been part of the government scheme for covid. The floodlights should NOT be factored into this as we are renting the ground from a landlord who should have fit the bill for an acceptable level of staduim for rent. We finished third as I recall…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 3 hours ago, Are we there yet? said: Reality check time for a bunch of folks on here. The advantage of progressing the careers of great young players is that more are likely to see the Rovers as a stepping step to the Premiership and beyond. And they will be advised by agents and parents to join us because we benefit from them playing, they benefit from showing what they can do and we get money for young guys that are not yet the finished product. And we will celebrate the fact that they can go onto great careers with bigger teams. We are not yet a premiership club and we have to continue to generate income to fund our progress. Guys choose us over Dunfermline from the Fife Elite team because they see that they get the opportunities here. Look at Peterborough and Brentford, two clubs who bring in players of potential to sell on and generate the income to supplement the squad and pay for the continued development of the squad and other young guys coming in. And Brentford are in the Premier now. If our business model is bring in great young players with potential for £100,000+ every year to supplement our budgets then this is excellent way to fund the club and keep us moving forward. We need to be picking up the young guys with potential who are at clubs where they dont get a chance and bring them here...tie them up on 3-4 year contracts and expect to be able to sell them after a year or two. Shorter contracts and they walk for free. Sure I want a team of stars who fulfil their potential here at the Rovers but I would rather have a steady stream of young guys who make us money and allow us to bring in more experienced players who will hang around. We all remember young guys with potential who ran out of stream here over a couple of seasons and were released. We will always be a selling club and this should be something to be applauded. If we are seen as a selling club because we can develop great young players and still continue to progress then thats a great outcome. Money plus a sell on fee from someone who's been here a couple of years is a good bit of business IMO. In answer to one of the above posts...the point of attracting players here to unltimately benefit other clubs is that for a couple of years effort we get £100,000+ and sell on fees. That helps keep our club solvent and alive! Whats the point of not bringing them in and being prepared to sell them on if another club can do the same? And no I'm not a Director and no, I'm not connected with the club, I'm just a long time supporter who many years ago had my heart broken when Brewster choose Dundee United over us for his next move! For no money. That was harder to take than it is to celebrate seeing someone like Dylan move on because we gave him his chance to shine. And I'm so happy about that I'm increasing my monthly amount to the development fund because my investment has helped the club make over £100,000 from his transfer. COYR From memory right enough, but did we not get a couple of hundred grand for Brewster? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Basically, all the manager's interview does is tell any team out there that the first offer for any of our talented players will suffice "becuz fyoochur injuhreez!" It's ok to play hardball at least a wee bit ffs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 £100+k is best we can get at our level and we pray for big coin from progression. Hibs literally bought a player from a club in our league for more money who had less time left on their contract. It wasn't a huge difference, but it still raises the question of why we've folded. There's no reason why we can't turn around and expect more. The top flight SPFL clubs are, generally speaking, getting more money for players from the English gravy train. We should have asked for a higher price for Tait. If Hibs don't want to pay it, then we continue to play him as our player and hopefully his natural talent let's him kick on. We then review it next summer and if he's improved we look at any interest whether from the top flight in Scotland on down south. Yes, there's a risk he gets injured or form drops off but there's no reason why our squad can't do well when we actually play. We've crumbled at the first bid instead of actually testing on how much another club really wanted an asset of ours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about loaning a season to someone in general going for forward. For cup games the e-ticket has your name on it as well. Suppose if you can't prove your the person on the ticket you could be refused entry. Different entertainment sector but this happens at gigs a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
