wavydavy Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 5 minutes ago, frankblack said: Superb statement, and you can see that both ourselves and now Aberdeen have spelled it out crystal clear that Scottish football has a financial crisis that she is taking proactive action in damage limitation. I wonder how the likes of St Mirren, St Johnstone, Motherwell etc are planning for 6 months of no old firm income? These clubs must have a major cashflow problem in these circumstances. I think to an extent the saving garce for the clubs you mention is the fact that they don't seem to rely as heavily on the commercial side of the business. Aberdeen and ourselves make a very large chunk of income from the commerical side of things. The others are used to working on much lower levels and obviously have lower wage bills proportionate to their income but they will still struggle.

Simo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Budge has had a lot of fair criticism recently but that is a very good statement. Simple, lays it all out and doesn't pull any punches in naming the red top rags. Good stuff. My only question would be why is John Murray saying we have a transfer budget if we don't... (Not that we will or should be buying anyone any time soon anyway!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackal Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think this proves that no one knows the situation the club are in except the club. Media hacks and some so called fans jumping on the rumour mill just to get themselves noticed and stick the boot in. I would dare too say we might be in a better position than most clubs money wise but these measures had to be taken for the survival of the club. I know many like myself have been annoyed with the playing side but that is something we can change. AB standing by CL is the biggest annoyance to most fans imo and will be until he exits but we need to be sensible. We dont know when this will end but the main thing is we still have a team to support come the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niemi’s gloves Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) One interesting point in the statement. Ann seems to be saying that all the short term lending to the club is from her personally, not from any other benefactor. In effect most (all?) of the money donated to FOH is continuing to flow to the club even though it gets there indirectly. In other words, contributions to FOH > money paid to Bidco to buy club shares > funds to Ann > funds lent by her to club (and which she isn’t expecting to get repaid any time soon).

East Lothian Jambo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I think she's right.

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Good statement and getting it right up the Sun. Cutting wages was always the right thing to do and unless in exceptional circumstances, I would like to think all players will comply. So anyone with any sense can see other clubs will follow Ann's lead and thanks to her quick response we will be ahead of the rest when this does all go away. The one small part of the statement I take exception to is : We have managed cashflow very tightly during these years of investment.

No punches pulled and we have a clear strategy to help cope and we were miles ahead of anyone else by all accounts. Yes Ann can be critiqued for putting to much faith in Levein but she certainly can’t be criticised for being a very proactive owner and business woman. These half brained journalists have no idea how to run a successful business they are only shit stirring arseholes out to grab cheap headlines and satisfy the hatred of all things Hearts. pity they were so unquestioning about Rangers activities .Might have saved the club instead of hanging onto every word Murray uttered.
