Farcity Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Im sure he feels a bit underwhelmed, it's a classic sideways move, similar to a Saints player moving to United, or vice versa, it's just like for like, apart from one place you wouldn't particularly want to live in though twenty miles isn't much.

You’re right, he probably never moved house to Killie. 😜 Edited August 14, 2020 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Only a short term deal to put himself in the window for January. We’ve lost a couple of players to Oxford. Sad fact is Championship and league one can pay double what most SPFL clubs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but they are also committing massive financial harm to themselves in doing so. Living far beyond there means until one day it hits them right between the eyes - see for example Bury and Wigan recently. I guarantee that Motherwell will be in much better financial health than some of these English lower league clubs.

I think he's referring to the English clubs, rather than the Scottish clubs, in which case I'd agree with the living beyond their means point. Saw on one of my local news sites that the EFL still might have to sanction 5-8 clubs for financial breaches in the Championship alone, even after Sheffield Wednesday have already received a points deduction for the new season. Leagues One and Two have voted for a hard salary cap at £2.5m and £1.5m respectively (IIRC, it was percentage of revenue before). Assuming a 25-man squad, that averages to £1.9k and £1.1k per week per player respectively and includes bonuses, taxes and agent fees. The Championship were talking about an £18m cap (£13.8k per week), which would be a problem for about half the league. Scottish football has had its overspending reality check and most clubs are sustainable now; a large number of top flight clubs are debt free now (at least before the virus situation). Scottish clubs may well come out of this much stronger than comparable English ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 A great bit of business by them, however, unless he's adequately replaced I fear that Livi will be attempting to hang on for draws in more than a few games this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're buying McCrorie as a regular CH you're in trouble. He's decent enough to fill in their if you've got injuries or suspensions etc but that's not his position long term. His best position is as a sitting central midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could always do with another of those to supplement the four or five that can play there already. Realised I was thinking of Bates.

vanderark14 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Rumour this is to replace Bryson or Devlin. Both are sulking because of their fines. I have heard a few times that Bryson is a twat and always in the huff and he hates it Aberdeen. If true he can feck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 First time in 51 years a player has moved from Rangers to Aberdeen apparently. Is that right? It seems like there must have been at least a couple over the last 20 or so years but I can't think of anyone other than Velicka who was a loan.

Let him go back to Killie in exchange for a couple of cases of pies or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
