ilostmyself Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Delighted we've got a couple of teams up and running although we'll need more than 10 players! Scrapping the academy was one of the worst choices made by a board who specialised in making horrendous choices.Will take a long long time to re-establish ourselves as a club that young players can come to develop at but this is the first step. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was 60k one was free....sadly it's where we are We had zero chance enticing him when he had his best scoring total since he was last in the 3rd division, so 12 month later even matching the 60k, same applies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Bairn Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I know this has been commented on before here but if we can't afford £60,000 as our one and only cash transfer in a season then we might as well pack it in, have a supermarket built on the stadium, go part time, groundshare with the Warriors and join the Lowland League. Yes we know McManus will be on a much better wage than we are currently offering and perhaps bonuses on top, but FFS. How far we have plummeted.

You have answered your own question in there so I'll ask you one How many league 3 teams have spent money above 20k in recent years ? The same could be applied to championship, if you're after big money transfers then no wonder yer long suffering 30 minutes ago, Long Suffering Bairn said: 40 years ago we could have raised that much.

I'd swap 90% of Declan McManus for 100% of Gary Holt. Edited August 5, 2021 by Long Suffering Bairn mistake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd swap 90% of Declan McManus for 100% of Gary Holt. You are aware that the Scottish Government handed Alloa half a million a few months back. That was slightly more than FFC were given. You will also be aware that FFC are a club saddled with big overhead costs where we pay more in lease/rental costs for the SS than the Launderers pay for their entire stadium in the top flight. Doesn’t matter a toss what our “more income” is. It only has meaning when it’s set out against outgoings……and now we have significant off the field salaries to meet as well, so the “more income” argument means nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Okay I thought the treadmills episode was the worst moan I’d seen on here recently.Moaning about not paying £60k for one player in League One after a season that was covid affected might be up there.FYI - St Johnstone have just drawn away to Galatasaray tonight. Which of those players did they spend a £60k fee on? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
