DAFC. Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 “Help keep you up” We were comfortably in the mid-table obscurity zone, nowhere near relegation or the relegation play-offs. Try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try again. Nah I reckon without him, for the rest of the season(providing it was played to a full) and we could've been in big, big trouble. I don't think the board could've for saw this fucking up football as much as it would, seemed perfectly reasonable to expect if not a similar offer in the summer, one a bit reduced but with the caveat that he'd helped us with placement money... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Absolutely. When we rejected the bid(s) on deadline day we were 4 points ahead of relegation play off. Hardly home and dry. The timing of the his was everything. Had we been offered the same halfway through the month, I reckon we'd have seen Nisbet leave.That said, were the bids better due to a standout performance against Dundee live on the tele in late january? f**k knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) It was definitely right to turn down the nisbet offers in January. Indeed even despite the current circumstances we have apparently received and rejected offers this summer that would have made worth keeping him for 6 months worth it. Generally I think it’s very positive that Scottish football is finally able to get better value for their players. In the last days of the sfl a 6 figure bid was nearly always accepted. But when dykes Is being talked about as being worth 2 million, shankland 3 million then there is absolutely no reason we should roll over and have our bellies tickled for 10% of that. With the championship being such a volatile league where over half the division has no idea if they’ll be fighting for promotion or relegation at the start of the season ( a difference in prize money alone potentially worth £400k) it’s easy to see why more clubs are looking to keep hold of talent than take the first chance of cash that they are offered.

Guest Axle Grease Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If Nesbit gets back playing and resumes scoring that is my primary concern for the Pars just now and the immediate to near future. It'll all come out in the wash eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachlan Cameron said on radio that Ayr extended furlough without taking any legal advice but after one of his directors had read through HMRC guidance on it. It's very unlikely many people would be entitled to as much in benefits as they got by remaining furloughed, even if at 80% so there is certainly a cost to the Govt in doing so. The idea that it's six and two three's is pretty inaccurate. Yes my own day job and I don’t see where you get your snipe comment “ The idea that it’s six and two threes is pretty inaccurate “ nowhere in my post did I mention they would get the same money I clearly state they would be entitled to some other benefits Edited July 1, 2020 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly connected the payment of furlough with otherwise they would get state benefits which isnt necessatily true as many of those are means tested. Its a very important distinction where we are discussing the Govt / HMRC attitude to this. The reason they initially encouraged employers to deal with staff through furlough was to stop the benefit system being overwhelmed, not because the cost to the public purse was similar either way. As soon as they got on top of the welfare system they quickly stopped encouraging employers to furlough everyone and anyone they could.

Also Lang = The GDPR note takes up the entire screen my laptop wouldn't let me in because of a certificate problem, I wouldn't think it would take much to bring the system in house but I assume if it was easy the club would have done it because like you say this is their latest in a long line of f**k ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Oh ya fucker Tam Lang! What an absolute beefcake. Have no idea if he can play football yet but he’s utterly ripped to shreds. Also, we were *far* from guaranteed safety without Niz if we’d sold him in Jan. Hope people haven’t forgotten how shite we were last season for large spells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Lang was utterly superb against us last season in the second game at Starks. Shame to hear he's still under contract as I'd have been delighted if we'd made enquiries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the clear implication of your first post is that if they hadn't been furloughed they'd have got something similar in benefits. If it's not what you meant it's certainly how it reads. "They would just be entitled to some other benefits so would still be coming out of money earned through tax" certainly suggests to me you think it's "six and two threes". Use of terms such as "just be" and "still be" suggests an equating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
