I agree that this should be brought forward, but at the same time I dont think it would make a significant impact on first team player redundancies. Does anyone have Murray Park's financial accounts? Would be interesting to see what we would save by closing it for the rest of the season?

Celtic must be on double our wage bill atm, so if his figures are right then surely they will follow us soon.

If it is indeed 3m pcm then that's higher than Tottenham. 1m pcm would seem a reasonable amount to chop from this figure.

If telling someone to pull themselves together is mocking them then we live in a far worse nanny state than I thought.

I agree with this, but to achieve a saving of 1m pcm we would have to release our entire youth squad & still have to release half the first team squad.

I don't appreciate the sarcasm either. I've made it quite clear that I'm unhappy.

So what do you have in mind then? I'd be interested to hear it.

Only when you smother them in peanut butter

I didn't miss your point mate. But crying doesn't help.

You have lost me here mate. If you are implying that any future purchase would include 7m from administrators fees then is disagree. The administrators job is to cut costs so that the club can pay all their liabilities & AT LEAST break even. Those liabilities include paying for the administrators services. At the end of the season any bidder will have to pay for Craig Whytes 85% share in the club. McGregor, Davis, Wylde et al leaving now gets us closer to the goal of running on a sound financial footing. If that ensures our great club survives then, as upset as it makes me, crack on. I may be sounding harsh, but trust me I'm as devastated as any. My dog is laying on my lap, he only does this when he knows I'm ill or angry.

How do you know we are paying them 1m pcm? & either way, its not their fault we went into administration. I really couldn't give a flying fuck how attractive we are, as long as we survive.

They need to save 1m per month NOW, not at the end of the season.

No we can't, its happening whether we like it or not. Suck it up man & get yourself together. We need to stay positive & be objective. We are the people & this is our time to show it. No surrender.

Davis hasn't been near his usual high standards, Perry could replace Goian, Alexander is a worthy goalkeeper. I'll be gutted to see them leave, but it makes sense.

SSN reporting 5 players have asked to be released.

If there is a trophy, I'll go. Even if it is an empty Irn-Bru bottle.

Sounds interesting. Grass roots football AND cultural education should be discussed IMO. Getting people into the game young is good. Getting youngsters into the game with one eye on lucrative pay packets is part of the problem IMO. Education on religion and its relevance to football should also be taught at an early age. I fear the discussion may turn more sinister towards our club in particular & with the current panel, we won't have much defence.

The Skinto Cup.

Davis is on 25k/pw, Greegs is on 28k/pw, Whitty is on 22k/pw. At least that's what STV news reported last month. I wonder if those salaries include appearance fee's etc?

Sorry I missed that. What is the debate going to be about exactly?

Will it be ruthless, or will you be warned before ejected?

Closest I've ever been to smacking someone purely for being a Celtic fan.

I did, I said to him "Are you saying Celtic have never done wrong in the past?" He replied "What have we ever done wrong that is as bad as bringing shame on our league?" I replied "Touch wains" & walked away.

I think that a simple answer would be something like what I believe is in place at Blackpool. I think they have squad status's (Key player, first team, fringe, back-up, youth etc). All of these status's have specific wages, for instance every Key player is on a maximum of 10k/pw, every first team player on 7k/pw, every fringe on 4k/pw etc..

Groundsman Willie?
