sadj Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 3 hours ago, Nicholas Brody said: Thanks. Were we not near the mark on wage costs for the team in Vlads time? Done some quick maths and if we go with the £9,000,000 a year in player wages, it's £173,000 a week in player wages. Absolutely no chance. id think its a good 60k a week less than that. I’m sure it was £108k or so last year and was upto £111K or £113k this. The 9million has been done to death , sure it included all staff costs aswell on here but FF is prob best to ask. budget is **** all between Aberdeen Hearts and Hibs , 5k a year is minimal when it comes to all things involved in signing a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Wright is the man, but I’d disagree with this. Wright’s eye-bleeding football gets them results and punching above their weight. It even won them a cup.

skinnybob72 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Tommy Wright's biggest crime is that he's seen as a "welt" in the eyes of a lot of our supporters. He cares about his team and if that means saying things that the opposition's fans don't like then so be it. All manager do it. Does anyone think Levein was popular with the fans of other teams while he was doing reasonably well here? Derek McInnes and Neil Lennon are another pair of "welts" that we wouldn't want near our club according to this forum - and it's probably hard to disagree... However, I don't really care whether our manager is a nice guy or a welt - I want to see the team winning, moving up the league, challenging for Europe. If we need to employ an utter welt as manager for this to happen then so be it. One of the first things that the club said when Anne came in was that we would only sign players with the 'right character' - looks where that has got us. A team of 11 snarling welts with a welt in the dugout might be what we need. No more 'nice guy losers'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 In hindsight CL should have gone after the final and the new manager brought in then with a full window. Further hindsight, something that I warned about is that having not sacked CL in the summer, sacking him when we did was very poor in the timing. Many wanted CL just gone, but sacking him before Decembers run of games and then putting a guy like Stendel in charge was a massive risk. Having not sacked CL in the summer past, he should have seen the season out and been replaced this summer, although I can see why he was sacked. Stendel getting the job in the summer would have been fantastic. Tommy wright is not the answer to our long term plans but right now we need the short term fixed asap. Wright would not take a 1 year rolling contract anyway, who would ? Terrible for the individual unless getting paid well over the normal rate.

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 There is something about Tommy Wright that makes him very difficult to like. I am glad we didn't appoint him manager, but if we had, would have got behind him. Instead ad of spending rest of season worrying about what we could have done, may I suggest it is better to get behind what we do have and hope that we improve.

I for one am not putting my head in the sand regarding possible relegation, but the manager needs time ( and a bit of luck at the moment) but hopefully we manage to stay up and I will judge him on next season. The last few seasons under Levein the football has been boring and we all wanted a change. We’ve now got a forward thinking manager we now have to back him.

January window while embroiled in a relegation battle was always a dangerous game to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
