Transfers News For The Inferior Teams


Recommended Posts


McKay would have cost about the same as JET. 

We would have got ourselves a known quantity, if he can score goals for ICT/Coonty then he certainly could for us. But he's 2 years older than JET, who is no spring chicken himself. On balance, I think we signed the right one.

My father in law is a taxi driver and picked up Greg Halford from the airport when he signed for us. At that time, Shinnie was still deciding where to go...he asked Halford about what sort of cash Shinnie would likely get and was told if he went to Championship probably between 15-20k a week and league 1 would be around 7/8k. Mental cash for the level. 

League one isn't that much. Sunderland when they had back to back relegations made the average much higher,  with folk on 30k a week. 

From season 19-20:

"What immediately jumps out from the 80-page report is the widening chasm between the Championship and those below, despite some incredible spending from some in League One which includes Portsmouth and Sunderland.

Indeed, the Black Cats’ new owners bemoaned the staggering overspend before hilariously proceeding to do just that themselves in the most recent series of the club’s Netflix documentary.

In League One, where 15 of the 24 clubs responded, the average highest earner is on £247,188 (£4,753 a week) and in League Two, where 14 responded, it is £114,020 (£2,192). "

Thought guff teams from the championship downwards were subject to a salary cap or something now?

I seriously doubt Luton are paying anyone anything like £10k a week. 

EFL salary caps, voted for by the clubs in 2020 were abandoned after the PFA put in a challenge to them. 

You can be certain than Luton will have a good few on £10k/week possibly a bit more (although I'm also certain Campbell won't be one of them....he will still probably have trebled his Motherwell wages though). Championship clubs are living way beyond their means and Luton will be no different. At the top end, gambling on getting them up to the EPL. At the bottom, doing so to avoid relegation to the EFL at all costs.

It has to be unsustainable long term though. And when (not if) it all comes crashing down on top of them, hell mend them if a few end up going out of business. Although at least if they do try to go down the sevco newco route, at least the English leagues do make them start right at the bottom rung as newco Bury AFC are doing

Ah didn’t realise the salary cap thing had been binned.

Surprised there haven’t been more clubs down there go bankrupt with the impact of Covid alongside some ridiculous wage bills.

Halford at that time was basing it on what he would expect Shinnie to get and the clubs that were sniffing around. An average of £4.7k a week suggests some may be as high as 10k so not an unreasonable assumption for Halford to make during that conversation.

Naismith the hun cunt has retired and will now take charge of Hearts development team. Didn’t he still have a year on his contract as a player still or am I wrong

 

He signed a 4 year deal with them in 2019, so still had 2 years left.

Uncertain if he’s agreed to tear that up for the coaching role

Yeah sound likely,  I was meaning the high wage quoted for league one.

You can guarantee it, can you?

How, out if interest can you?

McInnes only signs players that has rejected him previously so its a short list.

Moult

Greg Stewart

Naismith

Shinnie on loan

 

Fair play to him though far better signings than Glass will make
