Killie wanderer Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Extra money for Celtic getting into group stages last season extra money for finishing 3rd in the league extra money for sac leaving Extra money for more bums on seats extra money for Taylor leaving extra money for the young lad going to Man City so the playing side of the club has seen not one iota of this extra money (unless all the players got massive pay rises) So where on earth has all this extra money went or did the sports bar cost a fortune to renovate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) If you have money and don’t spend it, does it disappear? Is there a time limit. Edited February 1, 2020 by Silent Bob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the club are in free fall (or haven’t you noticed) other teams around us have strengthened. We have our weakest squad in seasons but we can rest assure as we have money in the bank wonder how long that will last when we are In the championship with lower advertising revenue, tv money, prize money, Lower killie fan attendances, no old firm games etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New pitch; stadium renovations; employing Alessio and coterie; sacking Alessio and coterie; walked all over by Celtic in cheapo Taylor transfer; couple of minor signings; minimal income so run at a deficit. My assumption is that there is no extra money; just the kind of activity that keeps us afloat and fulfilling fixtures until someone comes in for our next £600k+ departure to keep things going. I assume Findlay, but you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Findlay, but you never know. Was it not reported the pitch cost £500k Was aa on more money than ssc? apparently there was a 6 month break clause on both sides so sacking wouldn’t have cost money walked all over by Celtic - would have cost us not one iota? minor signings? - more players have left the club than cane in since last summer I agree most would have went on running the club but the items I’ve mentioned were things we couldn’t have budgeted for 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have an overdraft facility so presumably this has been bankrolled by Bowie. It's possible that he has called in some of this debt, in addition to all of the expenses you have outlined. The loss in income from only giving the Old Firm one stand also has to be factored in.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that we go through a ‘Killie on the brink’ story every few years, so incomings just move that date slightly further away each time rather than providing a big pot to suddenly start investing big money on players. A few thousand customers every few weeks for nine months of the year isn’t exactly a model for a booming business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss in income from only giving the Old Firm one stand also has to be factored in.. the old firm issue cant be counted as a loss. The income isnt used at the start of the season. Dont think we count that within the budget. We also got 500k from europa. Our highest earning players left so we have their wages (boyd/mulumbu) so we haven't spent that money. Bowie said at start of the season he was increasing wage budget. If that was true where are the players. Certainly the ones I've seen this season wont be earning more than boyd was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we’d all then spend five or six seasons arguing over who was in charge and then slaughter them for getting ideas above their station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also no longer have access to overdraft facilities, so theres always going to be a need to keep reserves for the years we dont sell players/ have cup runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
