Slipmat Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Greenacres said: Prize money we received £185,170. The Cups we only got £9,500 for our early exit from the Scottish Cup yet made £77, 000 from the Viaplay Cup. We are only just behind Dunfermline who received £198 ,000 but Falkirk got more than double receiving over £400,000 after doing well in the Cups . Crucial to us is obviously getting back up the Championship . On League placing alone we received £98,000 yet the bottom club in the Championship got £209,000 . Hmmm. The figures I saw quoted said that we made £158k and Falkirk £464k in prize money. We actually made £15k more than Airdrie, apparently. I'm concerned that these discrepancies could seriously affect your calculations when working out each individual club's transfer and wage budgets for next season. It could even mean that some people may actually believe that you are talking nonsense when you go on... and on... about club budgets and how we just can't compete with others. So let's be careful out there Of course if you go by prize money alone we don't have a cat in hell's chance of being able to challenge Hamilton next season, Falkirk should have the league wrapped up by Christmas and Elgin will scoosh League Two. In other words, a club may have a relatively huge annual income when compared to their rivals but it matters not a jot if it's not spent wisely. Just ask a Chelsea fan. Or a Falkirk fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That own goal up at Arbroath sticks in my mind. At no point during his time at Queens did it look like there was a footballer there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he doesn’t end up at any of the ugly sisters. Wonder if he starts pulling out of Scotland squads if he rocks up there… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she put a cross in the "no publicity" box. Never let anyone in Thornhill know you've won money, your circle of friends will increase rapidly. Edit to add: SD has just blown that hasn't he.

JK_Queens Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Colour me shocked. Queens voting the right way against a nonsense proposal for a conference league which would’ve effectively relegated over 200 clubs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Just a week to go until pre-season training begins then. It certainly looks like it could be a small, intimate affair unless a few signings are announced this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully players M.B. wants to stay sign extensions next week then he can start to add to the squad . He is taking his time don't want to rush into it like Wullie did last season.

This time last year we had signed up Reilly, Dave McKay, Max Currie, Quitongo, Stuart Morrison and Wilson for our assault on league one. Given how most of those turned out I'm very happy to give MB some more time to get it right! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want quality not quantity. Agree with that. It was a mess last year getting substandard players in with the hope that they would gel early. I like Marvs approach thinking about how he wants to play, filling the slots with young, fit, committed guys. In saying that I’m checking social channels 6 times a day for any signing news!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
