Balatoni and Handling dropped down to part time football as they are pursuing careers outside of football and playing part time for City still keeps them playing at a decent level whilst having other interests. We attract players due to location and facilities. Allan Smith is from the borders but was playing for Peterhead last season etc so it was a no brainer for him to sign for us, James Mcdonough has the contacts also. We were even accused by other clubs when we were in the lowland league of throwing money about which again was completely untrue. Amazes me how many fans of other clubs seem to know the ins and outs of Citys financial situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lennon has the contacts but they’re useless if you don’t have the cash to use to sign the players. Agreed though re location is a factor in being able to get players in.

Not a clue about our finances it's something I don't and never will ask anyone at the club about. Our location and the fact we have the Oriam as our training base. A lot of lower league players live in Edinburgh and travel to play for clubs up north, we've seemed to have sussed that out and can probably pay the same or even less wages with the added bonus of the player getting to train and play on their doorstep saving themselves and their families who come to watch them a lot of money.
