As mentioned before, his beloved Saints were in serious trouble and got extremely lucky with Asda looking for a prime site and willing to pay to relocate them... and a very generous farmer gifting them the land. Were it not for this happening, his club would be pan breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it on another thread but only Kamberi and Allan can be close to 2k basic They were posted by the company that looks at salaries across the league and its usually spot on. here https://www.statista.com/statistics/547202/average-annual-first-team-player-salaray-football-clubs-scottish-premiership/ Edited May 23, 2020 by Jamboelite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His club admitted to spending more than they should have for this season. The main reason why Wright has left, is they are having to claw as much back as they can to prevent using up the small reserve they have. They are the club who are having to beg Celtic and Rangers to fill their ground, so they can limit the damage. They could be one of the Premiership clubs who are on the edge of administration, so maybe he should pipe down a bit until the threat of that has past.

Yes I think this covers any legal action anybody might take against the SPFL. Nobody has taken legal action against the SPFL so why should they hold back money due to clubs?
