There 3 top earners have all gone . . . Their average wage is supposedly £671 p/w. With him being captain, he's probably on slightly more than that. Would be very surprised if he was on a "much bigger wage" than that. Quote

Livi supposedly pay low wages (£700 p/w according to their fans) , so I'd be surprised if we couldn't pay more than that. These figures are always fun to read but I remember our ex-Chairman SG saying clubs are frequently "economical with the truth" when it suits. Quote

Would be very surprised if he was on a "much bigger wage" than that. I am not going to produce one of his wage slips, but he was on a lot more than that. JR had him lined up for us on much more than that too, even though our average is not massively more than that either.... Livi had plenty of guys on less that £671 per week I strongly suspect and 5 or 6 on above average... It is like that in most if not all clubs - e.g. Erhahon won't be on nearly as much as either of the McGinns . . . Quote

I'd be surprised if Paul McGinn is on the average first team wage or more, he was signed in the equivalent "dead period" last year - I'd reckon Cody Cooke earns more! Quote
Sweeper07 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 Billy McKay staying or moving . . . Ross County also tried to get Hodson . . . looking very unlikely though . . . Quote

Yeah but do the fans actually know or presume/listen to people telling them all kinds of nonsense…. for the last time - He WAS on far more than that . . . and we offered him more before Stubbs pulled the plug . . .

Wendy Saintss Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 Yeah but do the fans actually know or presume/listen to people telling them all kinds of nonsense…. Maybe they’re getting it from the Livi equivalent of you? [emoji23] Do you get your inside from God btw? Quote

They coast marginally above the liquidation line and needed extra funds just to get to season end. They would't be the first club to post unrealistic and undeliverable signing targets in order to encourage other players to join them. Quote

Unless you know more than I do (which is a distinct possibility), I think you are speaking about the season prior to the one that has just ended. They are sitting on a pile of debt - but this season has been good for them I suspect - greatly increased revenue from much larger crowds, without a huge rise in wages from the Championship should have serviced some of their debt . . . but we will see when their annual report comes out . . . I think they are about to lose Pitman too to cash in as he only has a year left on his contract . . . They are my favourites for the drop next season . . . Quote

Not sure what the bookies think, but surprised you don't have us down as favourites for relegation . . . 😁 I would put Hamilton as 2nd bottom favourites along with Ross County - Saints 4th bottom and safe . . . But all depends on who is signed and how they play, if they stay fit and perform etc... who else gets sold etc etc... Quote
elvis Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 I expect it to be saints .Hamilton and livey to be the bottom three but in what order is anyones guess. Quote
