Ace 3,645 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The interesting part is our wage to turnover % sitting at 70odd% which is not great, of course based on turnover in our last accounts & not our improved T/O this year. However, conversely there is also this report .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 32,073 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Not going to quite the OP as it’s too long, but we only ensure our ‘fitness’ by having King, Park and others underwrite our losses. We need to ensure that we win the league this season and again try and make the group stages of the Europa League, as it is not sustainable to continue in the manner we are going without sustained European football.

Brackley Bluenose 4,482 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I remember reading a stat once, as much I hate Scottish fucking football, that said Scottish football actually has the highest attendances per capita than any country in the world.

Popular Post the cry was no 3,072 Posted May 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2019 Their losses without CL revenues are significant and will probably mean they will try to sell a player or 2 this summer to balance any spend on a rebuild job. The challenge is that their most valuable assets are more crucial to their team now than at any time in the last 8 years as they now have a real competitor for the first time in that long. If they fail to make the CL groups again the losses of last season and next will be huge and they will sell anyone they receive a decent offer for. We also need to be smarter and not chuck silly money out, particularly on wages. Things are starting to balance out and we can overcome them without being stupid financially. Get rid of the deadwood and add a bit of quality. They also have other financial considerations and they know it. Next season will be a bitter battle thats why they went for TLB - pressure on refs will be out of control and the victim card will be doing overtime. They have no levels they won't sink to but if we crank up the pressure and keep winning they and in particular TLB will implode.

Also heard that .it was a few years ago but don't really see that change much . I think 4 games against the tarriers skew the figures though .4 times a season 1pc of the total population are at the game That's the equivalent of half a million people going to a single EPL game Malvern 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly mate, what Iceland are doing for with their national team is pretty remarkable. Population of just over 300,000 I believe. The suits from the SFA need to be taking a visit and sucking in everything they do, but that would probably make too much sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to see that we don't know already, all of the Icelandic national team squad are dispersed across Europe so very little tactical discussion. The Icelandic and Scandinavians are big on community clubs and getting the general population involved with fitness and running the clubs. Scotland, with its terrible national obesity rates - it's not the SFA that need to go but the government. Redwhiteandblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That with a touch of what the Netherlands do is the way forward. It needs to start at a young age, with football clubs all having full time academies with schools. Plastic pitches banned from the top division is a must too. Obviously I'm talking about improving the quality of the the product as a whole, so a massive problem to overcome would be that parents probably wouldn't trust celtic to have their children for most of the year. Football is part of Scottish culture, more so than the likes of bagpipes and crap like that so until the authorities take appropriate action against celtic for their crimes then we will be stuck where we are right now.

Brackley Bluenose 4,482 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Weirdly after a few of us were discussing this last week, stumbled across these figures today about attendances in Scotland. The following graphics shows Scotland IS actually the highest attended country for football in Europe per capita. Even on head count alone it’s still seventh in the rankings even though there are 23 countries with a higher population. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
