No. Reaching the group stage was extremely unlikely in any case. Not reaching the latter rounds of qualifying won't effect the budget too much I imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valance1690 3,794 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Think Dorrans will get over the line as that's been discussed for weeks now and offers submitted Think Walker, McLean and anybody else we'll have been linked with will now be put onto the back burner, at least until we shift some of the shite we have currently Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
writingranger 1,399 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 No, King said the budget was allocated without a run in Europe. other than Dorrans and maybe Walker, we don't need any more players yet. What we need is the manager to start forming them into a team. There is talent there but no functioning midfield unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alves70 393 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 After Dorrans signs I would expect us to focus on getting the players who are stealing a wage out the door. After that is done I suspect we'll see one maybe two loan deals and maybe Jamie Walker before the window shuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Possibly we were counting on 1 more full house at say £20 for adult ticket, doubt much more would have been budgeted for after that. However with the retail deal sorted out it should off set any "expected" income that we would have missed in the next few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

denya 1,661 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I doubt it. Maybe it is more of concern to start moving some players to other clubs that not needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I'm here I think it would be a disaster to bin Pedro now. Whatever his failings, he needs to be given until Xmas at least to give the club stability and some of these players a chance to bed in. FWIW I think Alves, Dorrans and Herrera plus a fit-again Niko can change the picture dramatically. Alves would never have let the Progres guy pin him back for their first goal...

Nico is pish and will never do anything against any semi decent side I dont expect him to start very often when everyone is match fit,might be decent against the bottom six at Ibrox when we have all the possession but that's it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

writingranger 1,399 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The major problem is still very much in the midfield. Krancjar is creative but not a runner and we had two ball winners but no one for them to pass to. I hope Dorrans is the answer in the middle of the park and Walker/Pena provide the creativity and drive going forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,141 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Our next signing simply must be a quality left winger. We also need a playmaker and a Proven Striker. We now have 5 weeks until season starts. Time to get rid of the shite and get to work on some quality signings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk would probably pay that to see Dorrans and Pena. And pronounce them pish.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,699 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 We NEED a winger perhaps 2, Walker would be ok but not sure he's the answer to all our problems surely there has tonne one out there somewhere (I'm still holding onto the delusional notion that we will get Weiss?)

Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I would splash the cash on a new fucking manager or we might not even qualify for Europe next year which would be a disaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we only get about 225 000 euros for winning each round. Obviously home ticket money and any tv stuff too is on top of that. Defo a loss but not massive I wouldn't think.

Starting at 200kodd, rising with each round, plus 2.5M bonus for qualifying, and 350k for each win. So not gettin to the group stage has cost us the best part of 4M minimum, not including gate receipts, TV money, and any additional money for points at group stage.
