Scottish Football 2014/15

[BRM 220]

Ozturks equaliser in the Edinburgh derby for Hearts today.

 

Take a bow son!

In massive news and subject to a shareholder approval. Aberdeen will have their 15 million debt wiped out from new investment from those that own a local engineering company. This follows up with announcement we made 3 million profit

 

This means in space of 6 months 2 spfl sides will have had their debt paid off

ARMAGEDDON! END OF DAYS!

 

Oh no wait, that was 3 years ago apparently...

[The Fury 65]

:lol best comment of the day Inno! !

 

And ironically rangers have asked for the loan to be extended to 3 million as they cannot afford the wages.. oh my sides

[Evil Gringo 279]

How can Rangers have the second biggest wage bill in all of Scotland considering their team is made up of youth products and old people?

[The Fury 65]

Because they over pay stupid amount of wages over last 3 years when they really didn't need to.

 

Eg kris boyd. Hardly scored this season and not on regular form. On 7 grand a week. Not even top flight football and he's on 7k a week

[GENE 86]

Because they have taken all the smaller teams in the top flights best players and pay them better wages, Wallace, Templeton, Daly Boyd etc.More to the point how have Aberdeen made a £3million profit?

[The Fury 65]

Pretty much they didn't go into it apart from finishing 3rd winning the league cup and scottish cup semi final helped us out a lot.

[Guest Inno]

Lee McCulloch is on 15k a week, that goes up to 17k in the SPL. FIFTEEN GRAND!

[Guest Magic]

That would pay for the entire squad of a lot of First Division teams. Absolute insanity. Hope it goes bang again.

[BRM 220]

Where does the McCulloch wages come from? The BBC reported that he was on £7000 back when he signed his deal through to 2015 back in 2012. The fact that he played for free from the initial administration until the end of that season and the demotion to Division 3 when he was awarded the armband probably gained him some favour when offered a new deal.

 

I'd expect that both Boyd and Miller are on higher wages than McCulloch. Any wage speculation especially from blogs with tinted spectacles should be taken with a pinch of salt because as we've seen in the past they're not always right.

 

The training from the fat at Rangers has to come from the imports, and lads who have dropped fro the premier league several divisions to play for Rangers. Take David Templeton for instance one week he's scoring at Anfield for Hearts the next he's playing in Division 3 in Scotland for Rangers. If he's on £2000 a week at Hearts you can at least double that to drop 3 divisions. And what a mistake that was because Division 3 is about his level.

 

Ashley is pretty much running the club at the moment, while a huge amount of the fan base are not happy about this in the slightest I take solace knowing that Ashley has no interest in seeing the club go under as it has in the past. You can't compare him with a crook like Craig Whyte, Ashley knows how to run a business.

[The Fury 65]

Which I genuinely believe is only because of the deal with sports direct. Take that out of the equation and he would walk.

 

It's their own fault for being in this mess. They never learned from their mistakes while other clubs did

 

Also since gers went bust and relegated. 6 spfl teams are debt free and breaking even or making profit

[Guest Inno]

BRM, seen it reported a lot of places that that the initial Div 3 contracts were sliding scales, upped 2k a week for every promotion. Neil Alexander was on something silly like 10k a week for a reserve keeper!

[GENE 86]

Biggest game in Scotland so far this season takes place on Saturday,when Rangers come to Tynecastle. Really hope we get a result and go nine points clear!

[GENE 86]

What about The Rangers result then? Mon the waspies!
