In the Evening News it states that Hibs and others could not afford 2.5K a week to cover John Suttons wages, no mention of the fact that no sane club would pay him half of that.

The fact that they are looking to give him the spanish archer would suggest that they can't afford it themselves.:dunno:

If anyone cant afford it, its them. We just released a right back who I believe was on a crazy 2.7k a week. As someone said, I think its more of a would rather not pay it, rather than not affording it.

Sutton is on 3k a week, the yams are looking for someone to take him for less whilst still paying a portion. I also think Sutton at £2.5k a week is decent value.

I am actually surprised if that is all he is on, would be surprised if he was not on a decent appearance, win and maybe even one of the other personal bonus structure the hertz offer......but never pay.

Given the cough 8k+2k for Obua it seems like good value, I guess by the same token De Graff at 6k is not anything to be proud of!

Spot on

I quoted this on threads about Sutton at the time a move was first talked about to Hibs. I think many believed he was on far more than that but Hearts by the time he signed had cut their cloth wages wise to realistic levels. Too little too late unfortuntaley and we are still left with big earners Kyle Zaliukas Driver and Obua, with many more on decent wages. These decent wages would be affordable if our squad not too large and we were starting with a blank sheet, however we are clearly not, allied to the massive debt, gross overpayment to some players and too big a squad we will certainly struggle financially to meet day to day costs including wages for the rest of the season.

If we were able to lose 3 or 4 of the highest earners in January it would have helped but can understand why they wouldn't walk away from a lucrative contract and that is Hearts own fault. I think come wages time in February it will be very difficult to pay these and I certainly think Hearts expected to lose some of their high earners and possibly sell templeton for 700k they were allegedly looking for.

While from a football perspective I am delighted players like Kello and Templeton will be here for the rest of the season however I fear from the off field perspective and think there will be more turmoil.

Never mind be positive the Russian transfer window is still open :wink:

Depends what you regard as value for money, I would be surprised if GOC or Riordan were/are on that money as a basic wage. I know its all about opinions but next to these players Sutton looks like too expensive

That's not cutting your cloth to realstic levels!

Realistic levels would have been £0 per week as you alrready couldn't afford the players you had when he signed.

A budget is an overall thing and you can't just say that if you didn't have all those players then what that player is paid would be reasonable.

This is the reason Hearts were signing these players when others were in for them too, they didn't care whether they could afford them or not, it makes no odds that their weekly wage, if you imagined Hearts only had 20 players, would be affordable.

They also just have to make sure they were offering just that bit more than the other clubs would go up to - again, due to not caring about the affordability. So, £2.5 k you may think Hibs could have got to, but if the max we would value him at was £2.4k then you have falsely inflated that value just to get him.

Who told you that - the tooth fairy !!!!! :greengrin

I was told that both Hart and De Graaf were on £3.2K a week - even that figure is hilarious/ridiculous !

But £6K......come on ! :aok:

What is a swanny?

Edit? Presume the Suwanee river.

In that case things do indeed go down it, however finding yourself up it would be the problem, particularly without a paddle. If you found yourself down it without a paddle it's no big deal.

Surely that depends on what there is "down river"? A massive waterfall with rapids and wall-to-wall crocodiles would undoubtedly be cause for some concern. However, a marina with waterside bars and bistros and beautiful women might allow a little more relaxation?

Well people will just need to make their own minds up. Bearing in mind where he stayed no disrespect but if i earned 12k a week i wouldn.t choose there. How come everyone one who claims to know how much a player was or is on say it was " at least " rather than being precise with the figure. Suggests guess work to me

Would indeed appear to be connected to the Suwanee river and specifically the slaves who were past their use by date being sent down said river for resale/disposal.
