Exaggeration maybe, but not shite. Wages mostly. Add in Directors, inflation to this season and maybe an extra player or two(?) and you will be over £10m pa / £800k pm. Plus insurance, rates, maintenance. If they have Furloughed the non football staff, they might be getting about £200K pm back.

I can see many 'bigger' clubs having to eventually go down this route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen’s usual running costs are 1.2 million per month, so they must be reduced by 200k at the moment. pretty straight forward really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unusual that the smaller full-time clubs are actually better placed to cope with the current financial disruption than the larger ones, but here we are. Absolutely. Celtic’s monthly bill must be multiple millions. Soon eat into the stash they are reported to have in the bank. Ironically it may end up as a bit of a leveller if football doesn’t return this year and they had to use their extra cash to survive. That’s if there’s anyone left for them to play against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aint returning anytime soon. You're probably right about no football anytime soon. But the Dutch are nowhere near having the lowest number of cases/deaths in Europe. Pro-rata, they are on a par with the UK , who are in the middle - at best 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just now, big al said: Well if you dont know, don’t claim to know that Cormack is talking shite. They have taken to defering up to 30% of wages over 4 months, that will save them over £250k a month, also like @Pet Jeden said, if they have furloughed the non playing staff, that's another £200k a month saved, so we are now down to £800k a month costs, with the £2m investment they never had before to cover some of these costs, this is now down to £300k a month costs over 4 months. Would have been more simple just putting the players on furlough imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick glance at the LOI Facebook page and none of them reckon any games will played even though 99% of their attendances are under 5000. Pretty much writing their season off.

Would have been more simple just putting the players on furlough imo. Deferred wages still have to be paid at a later date though. Any team with substantial numbers of players on more than £2.5k per month (Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs) need to get wages cut, not just deferred. This is one thing that Ann Budge was/is absolutely spot-on with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 UEFA meeting tomorrow, so potentially that could be the day the top flight is officially "ended" in the same way as the lower tiers. If it happens, then Hearts will no longer get a vote as a top flight side. Any expansion vote will then require the 11-1 process, but with Dundee United getting a vote instead of Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been suggested by those in the know that Scotland won't be allowed to call it because Rangers are still in the Europa League.And anyway, I believe your interpretation of the voting is wrong, I don't believe that the official "handover" as such happens immediately in any scenario (even a normal finish to the season). The rules suggest that the season should start no earlier than a specific date (I think it's 30th June). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
