We now have at least four more highly paid, sub-standard individuals to try to get rid of. Either we have to pay them until their contract runs out and get nothing for them or we have to sell them at a vastly reduced fee and use most (if not all) of the fee received to pay them off the remaining years or come to an arrangement over the remaining years of their contract. Either way, we end up with little or no money in order to fund a replacement for them.
So we still require so many positions within the squad that need upgrading with simply nowhere need enough funds to do it with.
yes, the club has now hit the financial buffers. And I think most other clubs have too (and this is maybe the case across Europe).
the rules are weighted far too heavily in favour of players these days. You cannot get them shifted, if they are on a big contract. And if they decide to sit their contract out, you end up getting peanuts or nothing for them.
Things have to change.
But why do clubs (i.e. the 90 percent who have limited money) not see sense and agree not to pay over say 50 grand a week in wages.
clubs, across all the divisions, have walked into this financial quagmire. Do they not see how close we came to financial meltdown (we were one week from going into administration). Do they not see what has happened Rangers.
Clubs have been sleepwalking into this madness.
