vegas-voss Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Mental so without a manager and talk of every player up for sale we are still favourites for 3rd.Mind you could probably get the same odds on us getting a manager we have heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAd that thought this morning. what odds would you get on us appointing a british manager or someone who we have all heard of. might be slightly more than 150/1 i reckon:p:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I can see where the bookies are coming from. Rangers and Celtic are not GREAT sides. Romanov has shown what can happen if he appoints a good manager, gives his some money and leaves him alone. The bookies cant go mad and give odd's on how bad we are at present, it could change very easily. not saying it will ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How the feck can we still be 3rd favourites after the season we've had?!?!?! Madness! Exactly. I'd put us certain bottom 6 if we sell Berra, Wallace, Driver et al and replace them with absolute garbage, as we've been doing the last 2 years. Serious relegation candidates if we continue.

Sheepie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I can see where the bookies are coming from. Ditto. Given your wages expenditure was 2-3 times that of the other teams fighting it out for third in recent seasons, I'd say you're quite rightly have the shortest odds of the chasing bunch. Whether the difference in odds between yourselves and the rest represent value for money with respect to said budget is another argument. Simple scaling would suggest that 3 times the budget, you'd expect to have 3 times (200/3) shorter odds rather than a mere 25% shortening. I'd suggest that your managerial situation and poor season last result in longer than expected odds. Similarly for 'Well, a good season last season sees them having shroter odds than some would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to compare with our 10-12.49M budget and put it in perspective. Levein said recently most other teams now only spend 2M, but that seemed a wee bit low to me?

Levein said recently most other teams now only spend 2M, but that seemed a wee bit low to me? TBH, not entirely sure. I'd guess at around the 4m mark - inline with what is reported on the club finances site which was posted on this board the other day (http://www.football-finances.org.uk/aberde...countsnotes.htm) Can't see it varying much although we did increase income through cup runs (x3). Might see us pay a fee or two and increase wages of players to stay (Zander, Miller, possibly Nicholson). The rest is (rightly so imo) being reinvested in the youth programme and servicing/reducing the debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walton1983 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How the feck can we still be 3rd favourites after the season we've had?!?!?! Madness! Money. Hearts still spend way above the other teams outwith the old firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haagse Jambo Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 The bookies cannot lose here, as usual. The SPL is probably one of the most certain 2-horse races in Europe. Yet I doubt if this was a horse-race, you would have 2 horses at odds-on. I had Hearts at 150-1 in the Burley days- reasonable odds before El Lunatico intervened. But then there was an inherited core of Scottish internationals supplemented by the likes of Bednar, Skacel and Fyssas. Today doesn't even begin to compare, so 150-1 are desperately poor odds.

CornhillHearts Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 The Bulgarian Football Association has refused to allow CSKA Sofia to compete because of the debts of the club. It said: "CSKA will not participate in the 2008/2009 Uefa Champions League as this is a final decision." CSKA president Alexandar Tomov has resigned and took responsibility for the club's position and stated: "It is me and only me who is to blame." CSKA won their 31st Bulgarian league title last season and are the country's most successful club. An executive meeting of the Bulgarian FA will also decide whether to also now expel the club from the domestic premier league and relegate CSKA to the country's amateur third division. "I'm not going to blame any of my subordinates because I'm the leading figure and everyone stares at me," said Tomov, who is to be replaced by chief executive Emil KOSTADINOV, a former CSKA player.

Seems a strange decision. By not being allowed to compete in the Champions League, and i'm guessing the UEFA cup, the club will lose out on ?10m+! If they rely on this money to stabilise the debt they will be fecked surely?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 1 million euros debts taxes to duty institutions and around 200 000 euros last transfer money debts for one player from bulgarian club. Very creazynes situation. Is big risk for profetional statut of my great CSKA. And this is in time in who little brother Mittal sell the club and deal is to finish. I'm sick...
