  1. I raised this last season and picked through the uefa guidelines. We would be a failure as a business if we were not exploring every avenue that could increase our revenue and exposure.

    We would be the talk of Europe if we were to force the SFAs hand. Strangely enough not one journalist has raised this specific point. At the moment the Scottish media seem happy to state we must have audited accounts - at no point have they questioned the SFA on this avenue.

  2. Pointless, they have them in Spain as it's in the rules laid out by their FA, hence the reason the likes of Messi and Ronaldo have unthinkable release clauses - to ensure that they do not lose them as people are unlikely to meet their price.

    However this would not protect us against low bids - for example say Walkace had a release clause of £5m - teams like Forrest would still not offer anything close to that valuation, we would realistically only get the £5m if he was romping it in Europe and at that point the rease clause would become a negative as it would limit the amount we would get.

  3. People are missing the point.

    Cutting the player budget is a short term solution. Which in my opinion is short sighted as it currently stands at 30% of our turnover.

    Fans of other clubs are desperate to see us struggling to compete on the park and are trying to push the message we need to live within our means.

    Well the 30% figure suggests we are already living well within our means on the park that on the park... We just need to stop the money disappearing off it.

  4. Was talking about this the other day and was told Park was knocked back not once but twice by us before he went to them. Even got back in contact with us to say they had offered him a contract and if he could apply once more for the job with us. Massive bluenose.

    Scandalous if true! I was gutted when they signed him!
