And the bulk of that £1.2M (though hopefully not quite all of it) went on signing and paying Ahadme.
It was clearly stated at start of season that the minimum aim was play offs so I don’t think “top ten” is much of an improvement.
Fans showed a lot of commitment in buying STs this season. Going to be a lot needed to convince most to renew. A good window and positive second half of season will be vital to that - especially if we’re facing yet another (sixth in a row?) season in L1.
Pretty sure it's been put on a thread recently that we didn't pay the bulk of the Ahadme fee up front it was around £325k or so with the rest in add-ons and a promotion bonus? though stand to be corrected.
Yeah it was but not sure the maths adds up there. Otherwise there should be a lot of the May money still sat in the bank.
Doesnt it?
We brought in 5 players on transfer fees in the summer, lets be generous with some of those figures:
Ahadme 300K Godden 200K Mitchell 200k Edwards 85K (a reported figure from Scotland) Dixon 50K
Thats 835K before adding in Docherty and Mannion's signing on fees as well as any potential loan fee for Campbell.*
And seeing as theres a desperation for Ahadme to have actually cost us 800K up front then theres even less left, like, none.
And if Godden and Mitchell cost us 100K each then at most theres 500K left from the May money, but thats being generous and not including wages.
* And of course the unforgettable Potts and Hylton (I believe an itk was on here saying the delay around Potts coming in was because he had some high wage expectations)
Yeah but Ahadme is absolute crap, Godden is meh. It’s like the Sandgaard era never ended.
