Going by this website: https://www.football-coefficient.eu/money/#money-club Getting to group stage = 15.6m Euros Each win = 2.8m Euros Each Draw = 0.93m Then you get a certain amount based on your ten year coefficeient ranging from 1.1m Euros to 35m Euros so Its hard to say what we will get until the teams are finalised. But as a minimum 16.7m Euros

this is a strange one for me. Heart says nope we are a Scottish team we should play in Scotland its a crap league but it is what it is. We get are chances at the champions league (hopefully that continues) and Europa League. Head says only way we will realistically grow and attract best players is to get into a league which has that possibility so moving makes the most sense. But then does that make me as bad as the clubs that wanted the ESL??

Champions League is a must if we want to avoid further share issues. Looking at it we got 10m Euros for our Europa League run making groups in Champions League and no wins will get you around 20m Euros. There is also this ten year coefficient thing i dont really understand that can make a massive difference. For example Shakhtar got 25m for that alone this year and Middytland (?) got 2m who have a similar rank to us

I would sell him if someone offered us 8-10 mill early in the window with a chance to replace. If we sell him now that is crazy. We couldnt replace the goals he scores with the current squad. It would really need to be a crazy bid before we even look at it imo.

Maybe i remember things incorrectly but in the transfer thread everyone was calling him out for leaving now he says he was forced out and we're still not happy. What is it we want exactly? Personally if what he says is true it does show some issues with the inner workings of the club. Would you not find it odd to be told one day expect a promotion then the next day being told they want you to leave? (i know a regular work setting maybe not the best analogy but still) I know i would.

Thing is he hasn't looked as good the past few weeks as he did at the start. He seems to miss a boat load of chances for everyone that goes in. Personally i would have taken the 8mil. We are more light in center forwards than i expected but still if he either doesn't play as regularly or has a poor run in we wont get 8mil for him in the summer. Of course if he starts banging them in again we might get more! I know i will get abuse for this but reality is we wont win the league this year, second place is what we must get. And 8mil in the bank to spend in the summer would make a huge difference to next years title run.

Look at the amount of games both him and Fleck played post leaving us allowing them to develop. Nobody would be happy giving a player for us that much time to develop. Seperate related point but this is what still annoys me greatly about our div 2 back to prem period. This was the time to blood young players but nope we just signed a boat load of mercenaries on stupid money instead.

i would bite your hand off for 8mil for Morelos

I have no idea how it works between Queens Park and SFA but is this all a scheme to get a lower rate for using Hampden? Personally would rather it went to Murrayfield. Better stadium and bigger capacity. But that is completely ignoring all the implications that has been mentioned here.

I understand it is costing Hearts £300k a game a lease Murrayfield from the SRU. I am guessing that all other costs still need to go on top of that. Personally i think Murrayfield is a great stadium, although only ever been for rugby.

Well look at Aberdeens league finishes pre and post McInnes taking over: season 9-10 to 12-13 best was 8th McInnes took over end of 12-13 then; 13-14 - 3rd 14-15, 15-16 and 16-17 - 2nd. Thats a bloody good record. Also 3 cup finals out of a possible 8 is pretty damn good also. Btw i'm not saying he is the best choice but you cant argue against the guys record in Scotland.

Not saying he is the best manager out there but for sure would be a safe choice and well cant do any worse that's for sure. Is use to working on a tight budget and producing good results which is what he will need to do.

The board took a huge gamble giving Pedro so much money in the summer to spend. And realistically they shouldve gave him longer after that size of an investment. I am assuming they have the money to let the next manager do the same? Otherwise which manager of real quality is going to want to come in??

Stats don't tell the whole story. Did Celtic get the better of the 90 mins possession wise, yes, but anyone who thought they wouldn't isn't facing up to the new reality. With that will come more shots and corners. But we weren't backs to the wall by any stretch. Remember we are playing against a team that has been slowly built up over 4-5 years with big investment and European experience. Despite what the apparent 'experts' keep telling us about how much we spent versus them in the summer... you cant buy that or sort that in a season or two. We just need progress and I can see big progress from last year (comparing OF game to OF game). We are still really lacking in penetrating defenses but we did have some good chances. A stone wall penalty turned down. The lack of actual left footed full back and midfielder was clearly causing us problems in attack.

Cant wait for the game.... get a real idea where we are. Still when i see Windass on the left i just cant help but wonder what Pedro see's in Windass he didn't see in McKay. Because for me from all the games i have seen there is no comparison on who i would rather of had in that position.
