Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yep. There's no money to be made by running a club in Scotland, so you have to wonder what their motives are.Not much money to be made from the land that either ground is situated on either. Mibees there's a quick buck to be made from the proposed camperdown park development that Dundee are looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 A source tells me that Lyness wanted to stay but wasn't offered a contract. St. Mirren didn't want to keep him. As of Saturday, he thought a contract would be offered and he'd be staying. His wife's family stay in Edinburgh so he wanted to stay in Scotland.

That source is Oran Kearney. He mentioned this in an interview which Div told us about. Oran said "we weren't in a position to offer him a contract". "A source tells me". Aww bless.

Me too - anyone thinking we won't bring in at least 5 but even as many as 8 is not sane - there are more to go too. Glad Smith is away for his sake and ours - he will do a job for them, but he has not been good value for money this season. I suspect Oran will utilise the wages freed up well - signings imminent...

div Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Disappointed that Eck didn't leave on a high after being such an important part of the title winning squad. Interesting move to go part time - assume that was a conscious decision on his part. Wish him well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the overspent the budget sacking and paying off Stubbs & co, and Oran's Compo, and Three big additional wages for Hammill, Jackson & Anton. That hadnt been budgeted for. i know football fans (self included) sometimes want ti detach from reality and insist the board get the cheque book out, but that cheque book is worn out now, the club simply cant afford to pay yet another eight wages, that might again need paying off at a later date. ffs did you see the piece about the big lad Popescu? They reckon if we sign him thats 4000 euros a month plus his digs! Thats just one (as far as we know) quality replacement. our board f**ked up royally chasing the dream with Stubbs, now the chickens have come home to roost. His quoted wages are the average for a Scottish Premiership player £800 a week - and yet again you have conjured up that we are also paying his digs - he will be paying these out of his wages. You are still spewing the made up idea that we are skint - and that we have made pay-offs (So come on show us the facts?) [ Oh but you cannot] - we are not skint, lots of money has been saved by letting folk go early and at the moment it is 15 minus 1 less wages every day. (at the very least over a grand a day being saved) Edited January 10, 2019 by Sweeper07 changed 14 to 15 now as Eckers is away too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My source was actually someone I work with whose missus is friends with Lyness' missus. Or something like that! At least my source was correct!

W6Saint Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Good luck to Eck. A tidy player who done us a job and was part of a very enjoyable time supporting the club. I guess the manager thinks his injuries have finally caught up with him. A leftback should be high up the recruitment list now as it’s completely unreasonable to put a 17 year old centre midfielder there for most of the season!
