mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 £750 off of £5000 is fuck all.If they refuse it, I would make them redundant. Well, the duds like Foster and the others that aren't getting in the team. Simonson would be off as well if it was up to me, Gallacher is good enough back up.Folk will say that we wont be able to sign players if we make redundancies, well that would only be for a year. We don't need to sign anyone in the summer, the team is good enough and if we make the redundancies NOW that would give us the rest of next seasons transfer window to sign players if we had to.We cant just make players redundant! we would get absolutely hammered and our reputation would be worth nothing. Imagine trying to sign anyone half decent in a few years when they thought our club would just rip up their contract. COALBURN LOYAL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Buying players we don't need and giving them silly wages. Board and to a extent management to blame/Giving new contracts to Naismith and Cole then releasing them is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen our club do. 1st_Jan_1994, HeHaw and dougie76 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Its no surprise that Wallace's 120 day financial review also looked at team costs, so I am not about to panic quite yet, as it make sense. HeHaw and dougie76 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thought id stepped back in time for a second there.Tbh, we shouldnt be asking for players to accept wage cuts. Are we in that bad a state?. Worrying news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnw 22 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Why should the players have to take pay cut due to the gross mismanagement of others?I now fully expect Wallace and Macleod to be shoved out the door.I'm not saying they should but could help with your examples above from being moved on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop 654 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I wonder how this was conducted. A simple majority, a 75% majority or of it had to be unanimous. Could be that all players rejected this or just the one. It is clear the state of our finances is not good and paying near on 100% of income on wages is not a good way to run the club. I thought we were going to spend no more than 30% on player wages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,252 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think we should calm down a little. This IMO is an alternative to selling players. Since the only players we can sell are Wallace and MacLeod.It may however mean that the 15% we cut is the salary of Wallace Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
