    How Much Money Generated This Quarter (And How Much Of It Will Be Spent on Players)??

    Given record season tickets sales, the sale of Cummings and sales of new Macron merchandise; how much do you think we have taking in this quarter? I would estimate it has to be in the region of 3.5-4 million - surely? If so, how much of that is going back into the playing squad?

    We've taken it loads but after Sir Tom takes his half , rod takes his 10% and the percentage to hearts , there will not be much left.

    How much do you think will go into the playing squad? And where do you think the rest will go?

    Why wouldn't it go to the playing squad? Only debt is owed to STF and we've already built the stadium and training centre. We're running out of non-football related things to pay for other than maintenance and just generally running the club.

    I noticed on recent visits to meet people at Easter Road I've been offered a biscuit with my coffee. This didn't happen in the past.

    An unnecessary expense that must be eating into the player budget.

    What kind of biscuits were they? Did they give you the whole pack or were they laid out on a small plate?

    United we stand here....

    Hopefully going forward we can invest in wages so hopefully we can pay the key players a bit more maybe help stop them moving so easily to mediocre clubs down south and if the do move then as on higher wage likely to command better fees. All hopes of course.

    We live in hope.

    Does Rod get 10% of the whole amount, or 10% of what's left after STF has had his half?

    Either way, Hearts pocket more than Hibs in this deal.

    I'd expect a significant chunk to go towards the pie's at the AGM - continuing that level of hospitality is a must for the club.

    yes, because our budget is irrelevant right enough.

    We should see if Tranmere have got any more cast offs that morecambe didn't want. You can get them for nothing and Rod can spend all the cash we've made on fur coats and gold teeth for himself and a solid gold bath for Sir Tom

    Obviously most of the money made will be spent on filling in the corners at ER.

    I thought this was a fairly straightforward and innocuous post but judging from the "sigh", "who cares" and other responses I must have misjudged it big time! Someone even inferred I was a Yam for the first time in over 14 years as a member on this board. Anyhoo, not sure why some of you responded this way (have I missed something?) I just thought it was worth discussing...

    I think it's more to do with the same things being repeated on a variety of threads (see 'There MUST be signings in place' as an example). Appreciate fans would like to hear some news, but not sure anything we say on here will hasten things along (that's assuming signings aren't in place already, just not announced).

    I think the problem is its been discussed at length that we have no debt other than an interest free loan to STF that we are paying back at £500k a year with a completed stadium and fully owned and paid for training centre. Its pretty clear then that any money generated over and above that needed to pay STF his £500k and run the club next season will find its way to the team via transfer fees or wages for new signings.

    Coming on here after we have sold our best striker with rumours swirling of us selling our other star player and asking how much of the income will be spent on players is suggesting that the money will somehow end up elsewhere and appears to be an effort to stir things amongst the support on here.

    Of course it's relevant. Nobody would argue with that but the problem is that no-one on here knows the answer and the OP's words will merely lead to more guesstimates, so what's the point?

    I'm dumbfounded mate. Wasn't trying to suggest anything or stir things up amongst our support as you put it! There are a lot of sensitive people on this thread - when there's no need to be.

    The bottom line is that the club will spend what they can afford. As many other posters have said,discussing it will achieve nothing. It is equally important to get existing players signed up again. A large part of the budget will go on that. We will never know the exact amount and speculation does no one any good.
