"Maybe but the post COVID 19 football world is going to be very unstable, a fee of £1.2m seems realistic but with upwards of a third going to the player and a considerable amount to Ayr, the bottom line may not look so healthy. Mind you £300,000 to £400,000 when you are skint is tempting. Also a loss of £3.7m for a provincial club will never be recovered by a provincial team playing in the SPFL, the revenue just isn’t there"
An incredible insight into football finance. He even knows the fee we're going to get.
Except he came from Ayr on a free so Ayr will not see a penny.
Looks like you taught Spirit of '62 all you can Peter!
