I have no idea if contractually they could make that offer to Stewart and say "Look Aberdeen want to pay 50% of your wages, Killie only want to pay 25%. If you are that desperate to live in Onthank you can sacrifice 25% of your wages to go there". I can't see how, without breaking his contract there, they could withhold wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing to stop us competing on the pitch & punching well above our weight..... Also expect SSC is likely to backfill effectively. DM's ability to source players thst aren't proven SPLers is patchy. Scottish football will benefit. Also with Hibs signing Gauld and StJs getting in MOH + both of "them" strengthening up front, the next 4 months should be goaltastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 He gets his full wage regardless, whether Kilmarnock pay 20% or Aberdeen pay 40%, Birmingham are contractually obliged to pay the remaining amount.Birmingham can just refuse the loan offer from killie if we are offering to cover more I think is the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying withhold wages. Its a hypothetical situation obviously but words along the lines of "We are accepting this offer because they will give us more, if you want to desperately go somewhere else then you need to work out a way of us still getting X amount of your wages covered" by that I mean the player offering to take less money/not take an end of contract loyalty bonus/some other bullshit. He's chosen to go to Aberdeen one way or the other. He wasn't our player in the first place and I have no idea why some Killie fans (not on here) are getting so wound up about this. We've had the boy Dom Thomas out on loan and he has been doing well for Dumbarton. I'm sure our fans (apart from that guy who supports both of us) will not give 2 fucks about Dumbarton if we decide to recall him and then sit him on the bench. Thats football and the risk of using the loan system. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killieshire Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 While disappointed to see him go off to a rival I’d like to wish all the best as he scored and set-up a fair few goals for us. Always giving his best to give some opposition defenders knightmares (Mark Milligan’s wife wakes up every night to see him tossing and turning in bed shouting ‘no Greg, no’). Hopefully see him back in the stripes sooner rather than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen absolutely spunking the money to try and scare off teams around them, they're apparently offering Joe Shaughnessy a wage over double what we can offer. 2 hours ago, Dindeleux said: He won't have chosen Aberdeen over us, he will have chosen Aberdeen and getting his full wage from Birmingham over not playing for 6 months and/or coming to Kilmarnock and having to sacrifice some of his wages. He did choose Aberdeen over us. Killie and Aberdeen offered the same deal and it came down to the player choosing Aberdeen. Thats the story coming out of Killie and Mcinnes himself has said the player chose Aberdeen over other clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
