macy37 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Incredible achievement by Livi. I know one of their directors well and can confirm that the club had a very low budget and are pretty much broke.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Brechin would have been one of the two lower. Dumbarton the other? As for Thistle, does going down in the play-offs mean they've Hibs'd it? 35 minutes ago, Lairdyfaeinverclyde said: Apparently so. Only going on what the commentators said on the telly.

I believe that the ratio of the budgets at that levelΒ would be key. Having (for example)Β twice as much to spend as another team in the ChampionshipΒ wouldn't necessarily gain you access to players in a different class. Having (for example)) twiceΒ the budget in the Premiership would. Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Gutted. (The Weirs cleared long term debt and funded youth academy but do not bank roll the running of the club including first team affairs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of thing Iβd like to do if I came into that sort of money (amongst other things). Β As much as Iβm a bit creeped out by Livi as I canβt really understand where a βnewβ team gets itβs fans from, i also always have a bit of respect for folk who support their local team. Football fans are so hypocritical. To anyone under 30, Livi are just Livi, and everyoneβs got a drum these days, they were visionaries.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of seeing Killie a few years ago who were devoid of anything but managed to stay up. However I am doubting we can sneak it. Horrible feeling of just "meh". Killie 2 years ago in the play offs were a much better side than Thistle. Not that that's saying much right enough. Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
