So if he’s on £1k a week he gets £52k in a year and is liable for 40% tax on about £9k of that (for both years). if we pay him off in one go he’ll get £104k and be liable for 40% tax on £61k. So if we pay him off in one go his higher rate tax liability is about £24k, but if he gets paid monthly for two years it’s only £7k. He’d be daft to accept a pay off that will cost him £17k. It will cost him now, but he'll get it all back. Edit: or, at least, the vast majority of it. You start losing your personal allowance at £100k.

We could be better off having no hospitality and save the cost of the marketing folk. I read back the thread and there is mention of the CEO being on the highest wage at the club. If true it's Simms money but it would be interesting to hear what added value the post has brought. I briefly had a job in sales and the first task was cover your own cost to maintain your job. Problem is we hear nothing and subsequently fill in the gaps with gossip, hearsay and I'm sure at time truths which are leaked on forums etc. Very little positive news around and what appears is worrying through to wildly concerning. The marketing and promotion side of the club is half hazard in my opinion. There's no obvious structure to it and things are either publicised and promoted at short notice or you have to get hold of the club and do some digging yourself. This is for things like sponsorship, hospitality and the online club shop. I'll give an example the online shop says that the home shirt and other items have sold out. If you go into the ground yes they have sold out of certain sizes but they have plenty stock of these items and in popular sizes. Now not the end of the world granted but its a revenue stream that isn't being exploited especially in this day and age where people either can't get there or just don't want to but would happily spring for it and pay postage too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone have any idea what RRFC are paying for a CEO per annum these days. I heard she's on more than we paid the team manager last season, shocking if true. I've also been told she is in now in charge of stadium advertising (which has been outsourced to an advertising firm) yet we still have about a dozen and a half empty boards trackside. Add in Hospitality and she's obviously well worth her wages what ever it is. I know she was originally paid by SPP but was told that's no longer the case. This years AGM could be fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakngravy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Will the outsourced advertising not be a Hearts related company as there was a rumour that she has her fingers in that companies pie and was trying to get it up and running last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mill offered to do something like that a few years ago and thankfully it was knocked back. The 200 club have been kicked out of the main stand twice in the last 30 years, the same thing would just have happened again once someone wanted more hospitality. The pricing of hospitality isn't an issue as long as it's good value which currently I don't believe it is. People should be going to work on a Monday morning raving about what a good day they'd had there, to the best of my knowledge that doesn't happen often enough. Regarding Saturday I heard on Friday they'd only sold 12 places but I'm not sure if that included the 4 that were raffle prizes from Davo's testimonial lunch. Either way not selling too many on the 1st day at home against the league favourites was piss poor, even John Sim wasn't happy with them...apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, it was back in May and June I heard that, although now I think about it I'm sure the term "Edinburgh based" rings a bell.
