Hansel Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Craig Gordon would be my guess. He signed a new deal prior to being sold for big bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away up in Gorgie Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 All of these were on huge money relative to Hearts during the Romanov era Jankauskas Fyssas Tall Bednar Beslija Aguiar Pinilla Kingston Pressley, Gordon and Hartley all got big deals too. I believe at the time Stephane Adam, post cup final heroics got one of the biggest Hearts contracts ever at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 IIRC Gordon was supposed to be on £19k a week just before his transfer. I have a note of what players were due in wages when we went into administration in June 2013. From those figures, I worked out their pro rata wages. Jamie Hamill, Ryan Stevenson and Jamie McDonald were top earners, all on around £225k a year or over £4,300 a week. The total wage bill for all staff was £5.4m (74% of turnover) in that season. The wage bill had dropped significantly by the date of administration. It had peaked at £12.5m in the year to June 2007 (121% of turnover) and went to 124%, 126%, 115% and 116% for the next four seasons, before dropping to 95% and 74% prior to administration.

David Obua was immense v Hibs at Easter Road. He was certainly capable of brilliance, we just never seen it enough. You’re probably right, he’d get in this Hearts team no problem if he had played like that every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
