Tommy Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 The keeper LEFT Ross C after at least 2 seasons with them to move to Glasgow for a team in the lower league, why if Ross pay so much more ? Do you think a player will up sticks to the Highlands if he has a similar deal from a Central Belt Team when you factor in moving house/ renting.....no chance. County have to offer more dosh. That's how they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 From their accounts, Ross County have been recording pretty substantial losses over the past few years. Like other clubs, they like to hide their profit and loss accounts but they don't look healthy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think there must come a point where you say enough is enough. I watched their title home game the attendance was very poor and no atmosphere considering the magnitude of the occasion.

He wanted to be beside his family, there have been plenty players who came up but did not move their families. They were happy enough to make a right few bob then go back south after one or two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You surely know the saying that if you can say how much you are worth it's because you dont have much in the first place. His business interests are also likely to provide flexibility we cant do in terms of housing and other issues. A mini version perhaps of how Man City handle financial fair play rules, but I am sure you considered all of this before replying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he would have been paying for his digs up north as well as travel cost up and down the A9 plus his family home, Ross C really must have been paying him mega money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Ross County do pay their players over the odds. End of story. I'm surprised that this is even up for debate. It's been well documented by their own fans on P&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big leap: not being prepared/able to meet May's shifting demands is not the same as breaking assurances to Goodwin. Besides, it looks like he was going to the Fakes until Dundee came in and gazumped them. I emphatically disagree that we should be getting suckered into a bidding war for a player who might not even turn out to be that good any more.

Its not about May's demands, bidding wars, or being gazumped! Or indeed about any one target. its about backing up the assurances that Goody sought, and we assume got? That he would have the budget required to bring in the standard of player necessary to maintain our premiership status. its purely about our board backing theur manager as they said they would. Evidence seems to indicate to the contrary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
