The whole ambition argument is complete nonsense. Just because Cameron isn’t piling money into the club doesn’t make him unambitious. It makes him a sensible business that doesn’t want to waste copious amounts of money. Playing in the Premiership would be great but it’s not an entirely realistic ambition right now. As a fan I feel I have a duty(similar to the manager) to encourage Lachlan and Co to spunk as much as possible on the team, they're duty is to spend what they take in + whatever else they wish to spend of their own cash free gratis.

Cameron has made it clear that that’s how it works. However I don’t think a lot of people (myself included until tonight) knew how much we had to spend outside of the playing budget. It also appears the players were given bonuses for getting top 4 which I hadn’t thought of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the 2 times Accies went up their win bonuses were hammering them as the bonus was increased the higher up the league they were, I've no idea how ours is worked out if at all on a game by game basis but diddy teams certainly don't budget for winning loads of games at the top of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just hoping we didn’t promise Shankland a goal bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but we used to give out win bonuses that increased with league position, that can get you in a lot of trouble if you're budgeting for 10/12 wins at the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 For us fans too sensible to join the SRE it would be nice for the Chairman to interact with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 For us fans too sensible to join the SRE it would be nice for the Chairman to interact with us. A football chairman coming onto P&B, where it’s not just Ayr fans he’d be subjected to, would be an absolute nightmare. But one that sounds quite entertaining. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should do a proper Q&A at the club rather than a cyber one imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could hook up something like this for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his responses last night to the usual suspects were tremendous. On another note @ayrmad I asked about the car park / railway yard and there were questions around the housing development and taking the club shop / hospitality back into club ownership which are loosely related to what you asked yesterday. Shop / hospitality ownership asking if the club was generating more revenue: "I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it is my understanding that yes, overall it is a net benefit to the club." Railway yard and whether we would have a car park / club shop building in the future: " As far as the railway yard, we don't have control of that yet and I don't have an answer on the car park yet. The only thing Ican say is that all parties are interested in doing what's best for Ayr United in every area." Proposed new housing around Somerset Park: "That is way too distant to even address here. If and when it becomes a reality, we can speak about that." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Falkirk appear to be ransacking all the lower end Championship clubs for players and also signing all the free agents that might have been options. Reading the other clubs threads, it's not just us who appear to be having problems, which undoubtedly means that there will be lots of players in a few weeks time who may have to lower their expectations as regards salary etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated, was hoping for a little more insight but Lachlan tends not to spout until t's are crossed and i's are dotted, rather that than Celtic's amateurish approach this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
