Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'd imagine that Broadfoot, Bartley, Papac, Bedoya, McKay, Ortiz, Alexander, Kerkar, Healy and Little would all be released with many contracts "re-negiotiated" i.e. Whittaker, Davis, McGregor.

The Monk 3,208 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I will be really disappointed if we lose any of: McGregor, Boca, Davis, Niasmith, Aluko. IMO I would get rid of : McKay, Papac, McCulloch, Healy, Little, Whittaker(very high earner), Alexander, Ortiz and Bartley Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmond7 1,202 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I keep reading about how it will be all the low earners that will be laid off. Administration will not last till the summer... They will want to make cost saving as of now which could well mean releasing all the high earners and saving x amount per week as of now. These players obviously have contracts and I don't know what impact that has if any. Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if the low earners are retained. They will not be concerned about contracts which are up at the end of the season. All just my opinion and I hope I'm wrong...Yes but they will also look at a players asset value, so it might not be in their best interests, for instance, to just terminate say McGregor's contract. Then again, they might terminate all the first team if they felt it was needed right now. We'll just have to wait and see really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Along with all the other staff too, and that dick Bain has money ring fenced aswell. Imagine he had to do the firing?! Aye right.Taking money that could maybe spare a few minor wages at the Club. Wages that are used for looking after Families, for paying mortgages and putting food on the table. The irony of it all is those people probably did their job better than Bain did. That job was looking after him. What a fucking coward. I hope he has to go face to face with every single of one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.C. 19,055 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I doubt our big assets will be released. They'd cost a fortune to pay off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreeky 3 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just hope that the players are informed in full ASAP. Last thing the club needs at the moment is players on the pitch that don't know where they stand.As for who will be released, I can only assume that other clubs will be vulture-like and will be waiting/hoping for torn up contracts rather than waiting to pay up in the transfer window. I think the high wage players will be first to go, cutting costs is surely their first move. Who knows what sort of squad will be left but it's hard to imagine low-wage players will be released, but could instead become regulars. There is good reason for some balance though, cutting costs is one thing but keeping the fans turning up is financially also of utmost importance.Having been "released" from a business in dire financial circumstances it's a c*nt of a situation that I do not wish on anyone.

The Monk 3,208 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Out of interest would the Administrators give Ally the option of who to keep, e.g they say free 50k of wages and he can release who he likes or will they just choose regardless of what Ally says.

BlueThunder 8,454 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 now here's a thing, because we haven't fully paid for wallace he can actually go back to hearts.Interesting.However, surely the player would have to sanction it. Radio Snyde were suggesting earlier that any of our players including McGregor could be bought by Celtic (ha!) if they reach an agreement with the admin but conveniently forgot to mention that the individual has a say in where they go. I doubt Lee would go back to Hearts, especially with their troubles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_gazza 1,065 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would bring young Naismith back from loan.He has meant to have a promising career,now is his chance to shine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They can't sign for anybody though.One of my main fears is Naismith being injured and being told we can't afford passengers and him get releasedThat is possibly one of the very best points you have ever made on here.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Don't believe a word the Record says.Ticketus deal never happened?No PFA reps meeting the players tomorrow?No players going to be released?You seem like a sensible chap, so why would you dismiss everything they print as a lie?

phreeky 3 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 However, surely the player would have to sanction it.Their choice may be to either move or be unemployed (and on the long list of creditors). What they'd choose would very much be up to each individual player, but I cannot see anyone wanting to continue their footballing career not being at a club of some form.

50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If the Aluko, Naismith or Ness contracts are terminated then it would be madness. Ness might be considered a liability but they have to think about the potential and value to our club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebestest 2,148 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Why do the administrators care about freeing up wages? Is it their job to damage the national economy and add to the ever growing number of unemployed people in this country?I never signed a contract to be part of a society that thinks like this. Fuck them all, the cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,863 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Exactly what truth is there in the original post or in some of the subsequent posts? I'm not trying to wind anyone up but post 18 from buba3d starts "now i'm not sure how this will work but from what i can gather" which is basically rumour-mongering. I don't read the Record so have no idea what is on the rag's pages. If there is a meeting scheduled then we will have to wait and see. I doubt that any major decisions will be taken on the squad until after Saturday's game. Losing good players just now would be sore but I will be happy if the Club survives. We can build again. To be brutally honest, a lot of them wouldn't be a great loss anyway. Aim number one is to survive as a club still in the SPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,863 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just read another later post which appears to prove headline in Record. I still think that my remaining comments are likely to be correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
