Definitely.

Hampden Diehard Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hopefully those wanting financial assurances will get it at this meeting. People will have to accept that any financial projections are not assurances; they can"t be. That's the nature of financial projections when your income, in particular, is uncertain.I've no doubt that if professionalism wasn't financially viable, we wouldn't even be contemplating it. Obviously I want to be assured that this is the case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely but the figures along with the assumptions underlying them would be very useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going professional is a lot like Brexit! What does it mean? Offering best youth players minimum wage contracts to ensure compensation; paying a few players minimum wage; paying all players minimum wage; paying some players competitive salaries; who knows? If the vote has a positive result, the committee can do what they see fit and this pandora's box can never be shut again. One thing is certain, the loss of Hampden rent and paying some sort of wages will be a huge financial drain which may be ok for a few years but could end in a disaster far worse than lowland league. All these risks just to try and stay in SPFL 2 ( which Berwick and East Stirling could not do despite paying wages) is one colossal gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your ambitions for Queen's Park as an amateur club in senior football and how do you realistically expect to achieve those ambitions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
