linwood buddie Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 That was because we had Cheesy on the wage bill with his £10.000 + per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Jings bang goes Lex / TC's route into each match analysis which normally uses wage bills as a reason why most teams should be expected to beat us. To be honest I simply cannot believe those figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 That seems a High average wage . If thats the case , it makes you wonder why we seem to be constantly overlooked by players in favour of teams below us in the wage table.

If thats the case , it makes you wonder why we seem to be constantly overlooked by players in favour of teams below us in the wage table. Think the wage bill might be top heavy, with players like Kello, Goodwin, Teale, Thommo, Tess, McLean, and of course, McAusland , on sizeable salaries, whilst others were on peanuts.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Anyone else just had their other half say "Whaaaaaaaaaat?

oaksoft Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 If that's true then it's laughably embarassing. £78k a year to play football and clubs are whining about financial constraints. I'm sorry but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 But I thought we were operating on a shoestring budget? The fakes, Killie, etc all had bigger budgets, which is why we found it difficult to compete. That's what all the 'online experts' told us.

I'm sorry but You think that's hilarious ? Have a week look at the English top league to see what they are paying out weekly for one player that figure is even higher than our whole team for the year.

If you had stayed of the cakes Bill you might have played football yourself You're, as usual, missing his point. He making a point about financial restraints, the "English top league" are overflowing with money so it's all relevant. Comparing our club to any team in that league is absolutely stupid.
