Im not sure theres a lot he actually would be able to pass on, other than having had the younger strikers watching him. yep. If he'd made an effort to get faster or leaner, he could have played at a much higher level than he did too.

Where they finished is an indication of money being spent. Look at the salary estimations on Salary Sport - obviously won't be to the penny - but gives you an idea of what clubs like Lincoln City are paying. There's no way Kilmarnock can match that. For context, you have to go down 14 or 15 players in their list 'til you reach what we're paying Chris Burke e.g. So yes, we can't compete with teams in League One like Lincoln. We're a Scottish Championship side now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 We may be a Scottish Championship now but we have a board that has already said our budget will be that of a Scottish Premiership side.

Being a Championship side does mean it will be more difficult to attract players - and what we're capable of offering isn't going to move the needle much I'm afraid. If Chris Maguire is offered a deal in what is on paper a better league and on more money then he'd be silly not to take it and we'd be silly to even think about trying to match it. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tommy can handle him then its a yes all day long - but I fear he's even more of a challenge than Lafferty was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it wasn't going to be fully accurate. Looking at the Killie one though I'd say its not a million miles off. Point is though - Lincoln City are no longer a small Conference team, they're a side that have genuine ambitions to get into the Championship. Its silly to think if both Kilmarnock and them are interested in a player that they'll choose us at present. Plus, he's not even a striker - spunking Lafferty-esque wages on another winger isn't what we need to be doing.

So, exactly the same as it is for every other offer for every other player then. They will take the best on offer. No surprise. And that appears to be Lincoln. Clearly doesn’t have a major concerns with quality of life. Edited July 7, 2021 by historyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we could compete with them financially , average crowd of nearly 10000 and 5400 season ticket holders. Add to that a much better TV deal and at a tough guess you are looking at double the playing budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
