The owner said that wouldn't happen under his watch so until you can show evidence to the contrary I'll assume his wages are now off the books.



You can interpret it whichever way you like mate. Between £2-3m are off the wage bill and arguably our best CM player has left....who is his replacement?
WTF is the difference between a wage after he's gone and a lump sum to fuck off? It's still money safc haven't got to spend elsewhere
 
I think it'll amount to the same thing. Theyve save a year of his contract, but I doubt they'll have paid the lump sum. More likely installments, on a weekly basis :D

Nah first part of parachute payment is in June/July - they even mentioned it the other day. It comes in Catts is gone and is no longer a strain on the cashflow. Cashflow is what they keep on mentioning.

Would make zero sense in the short term if he was still drawing even a reduced amount and short term in terms of cash flow is what they keep blabbing on about.

We have moved players out....

So last season we had a team which wasnt good enough and a manager who wasnt good enough.... so same again then... utter madness.

Only good move we have made is the gob shite moving off twitter.
 
No mate. I didn't say that :rolleyes:

Everyone who claims to be ITK gets asked how they know. And most who claim to know someone at the club or the inner workings of it prove to be full of shit to be fair.
Will anyone who is in the know ever comply with your strict rules ? Don’t care at all really . Just need these owners out of SAFC
 
Transparency works both ways.

What if we don't trim the squad? Are the board going to say actually we hope for playoffs 100 points is unrealistic?
That's a different question. I imagine we'll then have to bring recruits in regardless. But ideally they want rid first to make sure we're not stuck with more than Ross wants to have.

I'll be happy to say they've let us down if we don't improve the first team in the coming weeks. But as things stand and based on what Donad, Methven and now Ross have said here they know what is required and the plan is to have a smaller squad with more quality.
 
'Budget bigger than most championship teams'

It's a bullshit phrase they use because we have big earners like McGeady who the likes of the bottom half championship clubs can't afford.

It doesn't mean budget for new players it refers to the wage bill of the players who are already here.

That's fair enough if it happens. Got to admit I don't see it
 
Wouldn’t surprise me. I just can’t see what the benefit to the club was in paying up the last year of his contract and giving him a free transfer. We might as well have kept him and played him. Surely the reality is he took a reduced amount.

I wouldn’t expect that tbh. We desperately need a new CB and some more creativity further up the pitch. That’s 2 key players we should be actively trying to sign regardless of squad size. It’s the 1 in/1 out policy I find frustrating.
We havent paid up anything. We're still paying him.

As was later revealed in the echo earlier this week, we're just paying him over a longer period
 
Is this not just to avoid being stuck with a huge squad?

He just wants a stronger but more streamlined group to work with. Simple really.

He's as much responsible as anyone for bloating it with lower league journeymen and also handing out a 2 year contract to Loovens and 2 and a half to Leadbitter.

And now wants to get the balance in the squad right and correct failings from the chaos of last summer. I don't see your point mate.
