Good point , what did he leave us for . A ridiculous low fee and 10k per week. I know he’s on more now but if we’d been in this set up 5 years ago we’d be able to pay him possibly 20k pw until we got a crazy offer

Some jump to suddenly be paying players £20k a week.

£900m, split equally over the 6 years, amounts to £7.5m a year for each team. However, we’d likely be receiving less than that as presumably it’d be based on league position and we wouldn’t be at the top end I wouldn’t think.

So deduct the TV money we wouldn’t be seeing, add in our additional costs (imagine it would cost the club a 7 figure sum over a season for travelling away to Europe every couple of weeks).

Best case scenario, initially, you are a few million quid better off a year. Aberdeen, for example, currently bring in a few million quid more than us each year but they’re not paying anyone £20k a week.

On McGinn, he reportedly left us for in excess of £20k a week and ended up on £60k odd a week when he signed his new contract.

Not saying it wouldn’t make us better if financially, but to think we suddenly end up paying that type of money is crazy IMO.
