Interesting blog. I’d like to know what the total is for the transfer income received under ST

[PortugueseFrank]

Somewhere in the region of £6-7m

Plenty of add ons not realised etc. Some still could be. Eg Armstrong, Gauld, Souttar(s), Russell etc.

The trust released that info before through a members update under previous chair.

Actually seems low compared to the talent that has gone. I would have thought Andy R, Gauld, Jonny Russell, Armstrong and Cifti would get close to that alone with what they were worth.

Sometimes though I guess reported fees are not actually accurate, adds on etc

[PortugueseFrank]

A headline number gets leaked because £2.8m sounds ***ier than just saying we got £1.4m up front with further add ons that may or may not be realised.

The money, whilst nowhere near the £10m plus you often hear bandied about, has been squandered.

At the very least we should have a small manageable debt and an academy that has been invested in to take it to the next level.

I’d actually be happy with a little reinvestment of transfer income in the first team with a lot of it investing in improving the academy.

That’s where the next £1m player is going to come from.
