Satori. Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Correct mate. Absolutely no point in struggling to pay wages you cannot afford. The Buffs have done brilliantly in getting back to near the top of the game when you consider the way they were not too long ago. They obviously don't want to go back there. There isn't a lot the club can do if the fans aren't coming to games and generating revenue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheasant plucker Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Today gate receipts cover only a small portion of wages at most ‘bigger’ clubs due mainly to the Meadow madness some years ago that got the ball rolling coupled with the steady decline in attendances IMHO. Sponsorship income will provide the means for most clubs to support their wage bills today.Clubs that have an established wage structure also tend to benefit from greater harmony in their squad and prevent the negative impact of silly money signings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff eh! Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Really disappointing performances by Buffs today. The 2-1 defeat at Troon actually flattered them. From the first whistle Troon won all the second balls and grew in confidence. Buffs showed no desire, were static in the middle of the park and had zero penetration with misplaced passes being far more common than accurate ones.Troon strolled into a deserved 2 goal lead in the second half through Ryan Stevenson and Dylan Pooler. Nade had earlier missed the best chances in the first half.It wasn’t until Dean Keenan’s own goal in the 85th minute that Buffs showed any real urgency but sadly it was too late. Too many players off form today to mention any positives.Buffs team - Strain, White, McCloskey, Maitland, Syme, Fleming, Nisbet, Lewis, Boylan, Wardrope, McKenzie. Used subs - Curragh, Monti. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are only going to get worse for buffs squad looked thin enough today with only Monti and curragh fit on the bench pettigrew out injured mcleavy out injured and Mckenzie on way out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy2 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Not sure about troon being the better team. Nothing much in it at all. Buffs need players in and fast or they will get drawn into a relegation battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've have always enjoyed watching Kilwinning , was working on Saturday or would have been there, seems to me on what I know is that committee created this problem, all very well signing these players one off signing fee, but the reality is their annual wage is the biggest factor to consider, think they took a gamble and overestimated income. What I've seen this season, some of there big signings are letting them down, I know its hard to blood youngsters in this league, but over the past couple of seasons they seemed to handle themselves very well without flinging cash about, hopefully a wee cup run continues and bank balance improves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkcircus Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Guys, the budget is £80per week higher than last season. With the good league run and winning the Ayrshire Cup we decided at the close season to back the Manager and try and get a good run in the Scottish since it’s the 20th anniversary of winning it. It’s now been made clear by a section of the membership that we arnt wanted at the club and our personal involvement with the Buffs youth section and KSC is seen as a conflict of interest by them. Our goal now it to reduce the wage bill to match the income that a committee with the prospect of regeneration of Abbey Park can manage next season. With Colin Evans no longer involved the club will be £20k+ worse off, I’m sure some of the sponsors will renew but lots of them won’t, also I won’t be there to cover the gap so we have to reduce the budget, our team budget should be about the same as a top championship side if we go on basic matchday income with some sponsorship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
