Can't imagine we'll ever get to that position. If more supporters purchased season tickets and joined SMISA, then the club would be in a stronger position to try and compete wages wise with other clubs.

DougJamie Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 I really don't get the Aberdeen "big club" scenario, I mean its not that their supporters have much choice in who to support Last won cup in 1990, one League Cup in 2014. They have bank rolled league positions with no stars being developed FAS I am sorry if this upsets you, but your second team is pretty mince, but I did love Glass trying to look cool whilst his team was destroyed by a team that was in the Championship last year.... We win cup, we could tie down who we want and bring in who we need to maintain a top 6 push, even without Cup success we are def on the up My main concern is loosing Goody because that would be a tragedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do honestly think although we not brought in money anywhere near what normally would have, the club is run more frugally brought on by mistakes of past and will be in a far far better shape for next season. I do think also if we keep on the same situation of being a selling club with no real ambition then I do think JG will be off as soon as. I think extending his contract by 3 years suggests different tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we filled the stadiunm with season tcket holders we still wouldn't be able to compete financially with Aberdeen, Hibs or Hearts. Nowhere near it. We would possibly be able to compete with Dundee Utd at that point but that would be it. The way we compete on the pitch is to recognise that the 5 or 6 biggest clubs always seem to look to buy in the finished article. We always seem to find diamonds in the rough. That is our method and it's proven to be a very successful strategy for the most part over the last 15 to 18 years. We do seem to have a lot of fans happy to delude themselves that a player will turn down multiples of his salary to stay with us. I don't really know what to say to them.

All of this would help but realistically unless we can sustain European runs year after year, we will never be able to compete financially with Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts. It's just the reality of having a much smaller fan base and a much smaller stadium. BTW, we can absolutely still compete on the pitch though. No doubt about that. Unearthing emerging talent and brushing them up whilst everyone else is buying in the finished article is definitely the way to go for us.

I admire your optimism however I fell that even if we do win the cup and therefore qualify for Europe, we may see an extra 1000-1500 extra walk up fans as next season begins. I would seriously doubt any significant percentage of those will invest in a season ticket . At best I would say single figure percentage. and of those extra fans, how many would stay the course of the season ? Very very few I’d say . Progress in the cups will add to the coffers as will continued finishes higher up the league . Europe and the extra cash it brings will be the holy grail .

Callum Gilhooley Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Here’s a wee fact which will perhaps give a wee note of reality to those who may seem surprised we lose out to the likes of Dons & The Embra duo. Four years ago , one of those teams offered a weekly wage of five figures to an English League one player . We could ( and do )fund an entire midfield for that. The gap was that big four years ago and I’ve no reason to believe it would be much different now. Everything is relative, yes Dons have some financial woes but not many Scots clubs are any different , just different levels of skint / careful with money .

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 I must admit to feeling a wee bit hypocritical that I bang on about how the Champs League, Sky etc has ruined football, but I’m now rubbing my hands together at the potential prospect of us securing £3m for European exploits.
