I you were or are part of the supporters buy out, how would you tackle players contracts and sell on. Remembering you have players, staff , bills, overheads etc etc to pay.

We didn't sell either therefore got 2/3 seasons out of 2 very good players for free. So did we benefit financially from having sell on clauses in Mcgowan and Carey ?? And what happened they ran there contracts down and walked Away ...neither us or Celtic received any cash ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintstroller Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 IMO I think Andy Ryan would be a really good investment. There is a good potential there for him to turn into a better player playing within a better team. Obviously early doors in his career but signs are there that he could progress well. Dropped down the leagues to prove himself to get that chance to move back up.I would be really happy if we were to sign him. 2 year deal with year option (before anyone says that's a big risk, every player we sign is a risk cause you never know exactly how they are going to turn out to be like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stafford Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Personally an investment in a young hungry player is a better option than a old out of favour has been from the SPL demanding big wages is the way forward for us. If we get him and he has another season like last we could treble our money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mc Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Maybe given Sutton is likely to play a lesser part we are looking for some experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I was in Asda Elderslie around 4pm today , there was no sign of Andy Ryan . However there was a guy that looked like Kyle Magennis near the pizza counter. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so , can't see any more money being given as a gift . If so , they may be even more keen to sell some assets to pay off the trust ?

If it's the difference between financial survival and keeping hold of a player (who will likely be one of their top earners) they'd surely go for the long-term stability of the club.

Drew Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 If Ryan is catching the eye of a few clubs, and Airdrie are desperate for a cash injection, of course they'll hold out for what they can get. How long they can hold out is something only they will know. I Think the more relevant question is how keen Jack Ross is to bring him in. With Reilly having signed, I wonder about that. We missed out on Loy, but he is proven at this level, and JR knew that he was a good fit. Not so, Ryan. I'm not convinced that we would be willing to pay more than a nominal fee for the player. There is some time to go in terms of the window, and other options will become available. My guess (and it is only that) is that JR won't want to throw everything at this one.

I think we'll hold out for something more proven at our level or above, whether it's a permanent deal or a loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I wouldn't try to second guess Airdrie , they are a funny old lot , including their fans.

Julian Banjos Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Liam Buchanan left Livingston for the league below because Raith offered him more money. David Hopkin said they have a very strict wage structure which they aren't willing to compromise. Would be surprised if Livi are in the running for Ryan.

No wonder Airdrie are going out the game if that's the case More likely £130 per week Airdrie will be looking for a transfer fee for Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
