Ya Bezzer! Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Is that Accies,Hearts and now Hibs that have been promoted then let Keatings go? Congratulations to Dundee United on their 2017/18 Championship victory. I can reveal then that my mystery player was none other than James Keatings. Obviously not come to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeboy Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 He was the year below me at school, so that would've made sense with him being a local lad. Didn't really know him personally, but he did walk about school think he had the aura of a superstar who had already made it in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Was having a look at the Football Manager club info with all this Scoiting Database chat and Im horrified at what they have as our wage bill. I know the game and actual database clubs use will differ, and the actual player salary may not be 100% right, but counting up all player wages for us gives just over £1.6m pa which is accurate as far as Im aware and also adds up with the average wage of each squad player being approx £60k pa which was published in a report last year so Id like to think its pretty spot on. Our top earners are Lionel,Lucas,McManus & Skippy on £2k per week! Lionel and the Chocolate man on £2k per week? Then its Samson,Hammell,Las & BOWMAN on £1k per week. Moult is listed as £940, Cadds £800, Heneghan & Clay both £800. Even David Ferguson & Craig Moore are listed as £600pw??? Some of the wages weve spent over the last couple of years,if thats accurate, are insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs in China are going to be offering our annual playing squad budget to one player for just one fortnights effort. If Alan Hutton is earning 30k per week I would want to be earning at least 2k per week playing for Motherwell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that, but if those figures are in any way accurate, why the hell would you be giving your biggest contracts to a permacrock and a reserve winger?

The fact that you just wrote a whole post relating it to real life and getting irate about it, would concur with that.

Shaka Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 What is to suggest that they are anything but completely made up? And I said that earlier,it may be made up. However its pretty much well known our playing budget is approx £1.6m pa and our average wage per player is £52k pw as published in an official report last year (Caleys ave is just over £60k) which would work out at approx £1.6m pa, the exact same as our budget in the game more or less. The game also gets access to clubs for its info for their scouting database so youd think the figures are pretty accurate. Also its known Lionel is a high earner and Skippy & McManus are the highest earners which also fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Aaron Taylor Sinclair released from Doncaster today. If we manage to stay up, he'd be a decent shout to replace Hammell.

Did you then write to your car manufacturer to complain that it won't do 200mph because it can do it in Forza? Nope and Im not even close to angry,never mind irate. I did state reasons why the figures in the game might make sense, but just as well know it might be pish. My post was intended as a musing/conversation piece on the effectiveness of our spending IF THE FIGURES WERE TRUE. Im also aware there are guys on here who may know if said spending was accurate or indeed shite and thought some may verify/poopoo the figures Not sure how much clearer I can be lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, by no means as bad as all that. He was always highly rated back before he left Scotland, and any time I saw him play he looked quite handy. Would be an upgrade on Joe & Hammell,to be honest, even with 1 knee he would be an improvement on those two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Made Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Would be surprised if we let him go this Summer, unless we're going to get a decent fee. On the flip side if Rangers are going to keep being linked with our player, we could see them in the Championship next season. Edit: just seen this report http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/05/10/report-rangers-one-three-clubs-keen-on-motherwells-ben-heneghan/ which suggests Cardiff and Reading have made enquiries.
