Putting it in an Aberdeen context for you

"I can assure you i'm no fan of sky or the premier league. most of their success came when football was an entirely different game in the 1980s, to compare that to the modern game is, well its pretty stupid. "

I bet you think the 'modern game' started when aberdeen won a few trophies.

Do you actually have a point? You're post make sure no sense

I think the initial lure of going to a bigger club and a hefty pay rise potentially, was there, hence he spoke to them.  However, when you dig deeper, it is a huge risk and he could ruin his career for the foreseeable.  Much better off staying where he is and continuing to make himself be 'wanted' by other clubs, until the 'right move' presents itself.  I think their history is irrelevant, there is just too much wrong at the club at the moment, from a new manager perspective.  He will get his big chance if he continues to build Aberdeen.

Good to see you admit you were talking pish

Great statement from the club, strange from Mcinnes as it probably came down to the fact they wouldn't  give him the money he wanted, but had to say all that I suppose, to keep the fans onside.

Great keep though

  You don't go and speak to another team, then come back and say what he said.  These things are about money.

  I see that, because Aberdeen have better training facilities from when he started.  Feck all to do with the deal Sunderland offered.  If its not about money, I will accept Sunderland don't have as good training facilities as The Famous.

I hadn't wound you up for a while and felt a bit left out of your other disagreements.  Wanted to get back involved.

you would get a decent fee for him surely?

Would think £2 million but hoping its pish.  St Mirren would be due a big % of any fee also.

[Squirrelhumper]

Some Polish mob have offered £120k for Greg Taylor.

Not a chance!

So abody selling whoever they can and getting a wee shot of some Celtic B players - another tough League for Celtic to win next season.

Keith Lasley's boots hung up as he becomes Motherwell assistant manager. We'll miss your silky football Keith.

Seriously tho, great servant to the club.

Great to hear that. A dirtier, more cowardly player you will struggle to find.

I knew you would be 1st to start off the glowing tributes

I find it odd that folk don't think Burton could offer that weekly salary.

Really? Their turnover in their last accounts is £4.4m, less than 1/3 that of Aberdeen. 

English Championship teams spend waaaay more than they actually have though.

Jeez, the baws bust! To be fair I hadn't realised Burton were in the Championship. Other than keeping track of Scotland players I really don't pay any attention to English football.

I was told on saturday that there are two clubs in the league i watch ( conference north ) that have players on £75,000 a year or more he wouldnt say which clubs but i would guess at york and salford

You've answered yourself there. Very little in difference to teams like Donny, Rotherham etc. That tv cash helps make it happen.

Ebbsfleet United's - runners up in last year's Conference South - salary budget last year was around £1.9 million, that's the entire wage bill so includes management and off the field staff as well.   They're owned by Kuwaitis who have been spunking money there for the last few years.

i suspect they maybe had a few players on that sort of money - possibly more - but they were a real exception in the division.

As a comparison, Maidenhead's - who won the league - budget was closer to £250k.

I doubt that there are any players in next year's Conference South on anything like that.

Mind you, Gary Abbott was supposed to be on £75k at Aldershot in the old Ryman Premier 20 years ago.

Makes you wonder why Kuwaitis would want to invest in a minor league English team ?

In what way has he answered himself?

Surely teams with significantly smaller turnovers are in no sustainable position to better wages?

I'll nominate Kevin Muscat for that accolade.

The tv cash isn't much. As I said, their turnover is only £4.5 million. Teams in the English Championship often spend +150% of turnover on wages. It's a ticking time bomb for those that don't fluke their way to the EPL.

Indeed, especially as the area around it is a complete shitehole. 

However, they've plans to build a hotel and some sort of theme park around the ground which sounds mad until you factor in that it's right next to Ebbsfleet International station where the Eurostars stop and where you can also get a high speed train to St Pancras in just under 20 minutes.

Ah. Maybe method in their madness.

This might sound a bit strange but apparently an attraction of Burton Albion for a lot of players is that the train at St Georges Park, the new FA training centre.  I suppose though if you're a player, the training ground is where you'd be spending most of your time.
