Liam Boyce signs for Burton

To repeat what I posted on the PM Board.......
Sky TV really has ****ed up Scottish football. Burton has a population of around 75,000 and their football team has an average attendance of just over 5,000. Yet we can't get anywhere near the amount they can offer players.

Another Hibs.net signing target goes by the wayside. Damn. How could us supporters get it so wrong.
Back in the real world, I'm sure NL & co will have real signing targets lined up.

Need your head checked if you actually thought Boyce would pick Hibs over Burton.

These small teams and Notts Forest have picked up 4 of the best talents in Scottish football, Mallen, Lindsay, Cummings and Boyce for a total of £2 million.
A sad indictment of Scottish football finances where our clubs are almost totally dependent on gate money given the utterly pathetic TV deal.

In the days before this ridiculous level of money was pumped into these wee teams, no player would even dream of going to a team like Burton Albion over a Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen etc.
It's a pity nothing can be done to even things out. A TV company pumping obscene billions into part of an industry that directly competes against us for players. We even share the same subscriptions for the same channels and probably have more TV appearances into the bargain. It would be great if some legal expert found a loophole in this madness.
In my mind these teams are being unfairly propped up by the same TV channels that serve the whole country 😡

Last week i posted that Hibs wouldn't sign him. Out of our reach for the financial reasons i mentioned. Got torn into! There is no way burton are a better 'football' proposition than us...so why would he sign?

I'd have been surprised if Hibs paid £500k for him. As others have stated we just can't compete with championship clubs never mind EPL. The TV money down south has a real impact on Scottish football. But we just got to keep bringing young players through. But you can't blame players. A 3 year deal on £7k a week is over a million for him.

I never once said we would pay STF 500k from JC...just we were paying back 500k a year. Was right about Boyce though

When was the last time we spent £500k + on 1 player? We have been operating on a premiership budget for 3 years in the championship. We dont have the budget to spend that kind of money...simple. If we could afford the fee how do we sustain the wages? We couldn't. We dont have endless amounts of money. We will get 7 figures from JC. Half of that to Farmer. I believe its £4mil still to go and £½mil a year. Ambrose Swanson and Whittaker will all be on big bucks. Say £7500 (guessing) between them then thats almost £400k (including bonus/appearance) that leaves £100k. We simply dont have the cash to spend on a £500k fee then pay £5k a week on wages. I say 5k as thats what a Burton Albion would pay

The people that run Scottish football are the joke, bizarre than some on here blame Sky for this.

Otherwise, by your logic, we'd have to sell a player for £500k every season.

Anyone who thought we'd pay 500k for his transfer, then the wages a half a million pound player would command, must be wired to the moon.

We made every payment up to this time last year. Since then, we won't know until this year's accounts come out. But I see no reason why we wouldn't have. Do you?
