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?
sigh
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.
Dreading next season already
How much do you think will go into the playing squad? And where do you think the rest will go?Quote:

Who cares?Quote:

An unnecessary expense that must be eating into the player budget.
Probably everybody except you but I'm not panicking right now although that day is drawing closer.Quote:

We live in hope.
Does Rod get 10% of the whole amount, or 10% of what's left after STF has had his half?Quote:

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.
Hearts have played a blinder here.Quote:

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

Can I confess that after all these years of deep undercover work on this board that I am Yamicus?
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.Quote:

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?Quote:
