I always thought we had a cap per player other than those on existing contracts where they were excluded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our max is £1500 a week (or whatever), that's £1500 that's based on the income we must have projected when proving to the EFL that we have funds to get through the season. Surely if the EFL want assurances that we arent going to go into admin again, our spending power is now reduced due to no guaranteed gate income for the foresseable (same applies to Macc). Whatever we could "afford" before, we can afford less now, but we seem to be committing to relatively big wages/contracts. If it was Ken giving out the contracts and not FV, I'd be getting very concerned, can we assume FV have got more reserves of funds than we know about? Why would the efl want assurances we won't go into admin again? We are in the same boat as all the others with regard to covid problems, and probably better placed than most to cope, as we have so few players.

awandering Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Maybe he would take a lower wage if a 3 year deal rather than 2 years so helps with the restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 5, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2020 Players these days do look after themselves a lot better than they used to. He’ll still be 2 years younger than Murphy is now at the end of his deal. No sell on fee but if he bags the goals to send us up, it’s good business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 If he gets us promoted, scores goals then it’s money well spent, and other league 2 clubs would take him off our hands if we needed to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masi 51 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) not a chance of a 3 year deal but it is obvious that our owners want us out of this league. Faal will learn from watching him day in day out in training...Doyle is clever. Knows his standard knows his limitations.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Mounts Kipper said: Looks like he has good movement off the ball, up to Darcy, Politic and Crawford to load the bullets. Seems to finish just as confidently with left foot as he does with his right. And can head a ball with direction. I was going to say when did we last have a striker like that but to be fair Murphy was a good finisher. Doyle seems very sharp, not just a poacher, some great powerful shots from edge of box. (So much for wanting to go back to Dublin asap if he's after a 3 year deal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience will see him through, the hardest part will be keeping fit I think. If he can he'll score some goals. Good news for ST sales too. It's another great signing.

We are in the same boat as all the others with regard to covid problems, and probably better placed than most to cope, as we have so few players. When we came out of admin we had to be placed under embargo, limiting our spending to make sure we were living within our means, which we clearly werent previously. I'll all for it, thank god we werent lumbered with expensive contracts by Hill. The reason we are better placed to cope than others is because we havent signed players yet, in 2 months time we might have made a dozen signings on half decent money. So who's checking we can afford them? The owners could walk out in 3 months and with no gate income that's the end of us. I'm being over dramatic, that's not going to happen, but the question its a valid question - how can any club under embargo afford the same amount under Covid conditions that they said they could afford before? The goalposts have moved but we've got the green light to carry on as if nothing's changed and I want to know we'll still have a club in a year.

Our only professionals on the book are: Crawford Darcy Politic Brockbank Senior Alexander Faal Delaney Edwards Thomasson King-Harmes Graham I’d say Jason lowe’s wage wouldn’t be far way from all them combined, There’s plenty of spending to do yet.

kent_white Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 A high percentage of Evatt goals come via crosses by players on the overlap according to something I was reading. If he's still got the legs you can see why he might be appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
