Do you think the stadium will get built quickly after the training facilities are up and running? I reckon it will be a drawn out affair due to the lack of funds. The nimby’s will probably get some of the blame for the lack of funding.
Assume Hignett is still our highest paid player ever at £8k per week - closer to £13k per week in today's money. More like £30k per week in relative terms in the current football economy.
From a purely financial perspective it makes sense for us to pay over the odds to keep a player who will very difficult or impossible to replace. This is based on the value derived from paying additional wages to an existing key player vs the value available when trying to sign a new player in the open market. An additional £2k per week is only £100k per year or £300k over a three year contract. We probably couldn't sign a replacement for Shinnie for £300k.
The main problem with this is that unless we are very disciplined it will lead to wage creep and other key players will demand that they receive the same or similar wages.

If we are paying 6k for a player that's not ours its a joke
Souleymane Coulibally away te sign for Partick, Killie sold him for a million 2 year ago but he has not played much since walking out on his egyptian club, maybe worth the gamble?
