Back of a fag packet calculations time.

Let's start with a premise that by the end of June, our weekly wage bill for existing contracted players is:

1. Stanton £500
2. Harris £500
3. Away an' chew yer toes £750
4. Robertson £1,000
5. Euan Smith £500
6. Jordon Forster £500
7. Lewis Stevenson £500
8. Callum Booth £250

Total - £4,500 a week or £234,000 per annum.

Let's also say that we keep wages at last year's 49% of turnover figure based on a vastly reduced turnover this time of £5.5m

Not all wages are player wages so let's say that 49% (£2.7m) can be brought down to the £1.9m as quoted on this board.

So £1.9m bucks to blow and £0.234m already blown leaves us with £1.67m (rounded up) to spend.

8 players already on board. Let's factor in some youngsters to take that up to 13 players at £250 a week each = £65,000

Still leaves us with £1.6m bats to play with and let's say we want a squad of 27, requiring 14 new signings.

£1.6m divided by 14 = Contract offers of £2,200 per week per player.

Leann will never offer that will she?

Is this the board's masterplan?

Are we the new Gretna?

How soon is Now?

My head hurts. Away to have 1.9 paracetamol.

I think we get a parachute payment of £ 500,000 for dropping out of the top league in 11th position.

Yams get £ 300,000 for relegation in 12th and being cheating bassa's. :greengrin

:greengrin I'm away for 95% of a cocodamol.

I can't remember if the wages part of the accounts includes PAYE or not. If so, that kicks a hefty whack out of the backside of the figures proposed above.

I may be a bit silly here but £250 pw really ? So £13,000 a year that is very close to working in McDonalds for minimum wage ! :cb
I really cant see any fulltime footballer over the age of 20 accepting £250 a week.

If those wage suppositions are even REMOTELY close to the mark there's your answer as to why no one in a Hibs jersey looks like their interested in delivering the goods, I sincerely hope they are wrong because it doesnt take a genius to sus that no one is going to make any effort in a team that pays like that

Remember those are estimated halved figures due to relegation.

13 youth players at £250 per week is £169000 per year. Revised weekly wage would be £2060 for the 14 coming in. (appropriate not trying to be too pedantic smiley 😁)

Could you adjust your calculation to take account of the 6k per week we'll be paying Skacel.


Thanks.
