Oh not I'm not denying that. Just sad to see how quick he declined given he was very good for us.

Issue is we have no other right back option and he's sitting on a massive wage and we can't play him much more cause it'll trigger a year extension

Why we never signed a right back after him and played them is beyond me (Ronnie wasn't our signing nor did we pay for him)

I'm not sure it's true he's on a massive wage. 

However it might well be very significant that he isn't getting played because of the extension trigger. Especially if the instruction has come from Cormack rather than Mcinnes taking the decision himself. We know we have a big rebuilding job in the summer and with a reduced budget  to achieve it. I'm hoping that Cormack has said not to allow Shay to reach the trigger figure because he's intending on having a new manager insitu to carry out the rebuild and trying to give whoever it is as much flexibility with whatver budget he has to do it.

I was lead to beleive he was given when he signed he was one of the better players in the team. Same way McGinn got an increase on his wages when he re-signed for us.

I've been of the opinion that this summer we will have a new manager and ideally we give him as much budget and free reign to build the squad he wants. If you look at the players we let go recently and the signigns have only been loans to me (might be over thinking it) would indicate that change is afoot

McGinn is going to have to earn corn during the remainder of this season, that's for sure!  Frightening thought how much we're going to need to depend on him.  One of our only creative players.

[Macski]

Aye, if we can get a tune out of McGinn. If Hayes performs even to a mild resemblance of how he used to. If Kennedy can find a man with some crosses. If Mclennan can find a bit of football intelligence. If McGeouch can stay injury free. If Lewis has got his Clangers stage out of his system. If the new strike force can find a goal.

Lots of big ifs, but if a few of these happen, we have a chance of qualifying for Europe. ?

Logan disappearance is a strange one, considering Derek was bringing him on to cover centre mid a few weeks back and now he's not even trusting him in his own position.

If we’d grown a set and approached Livvie, County, Utd, Well etc as we should have....

Aye for sure, however he's looked miles off it the last few times we've played. The end of the season is going to be a sturggle to watch, can see the football getting even worse sadly. Going to be a case of square pegs and round holes

Yeah I don't think there's any danger mcginn will be getting game time.

Old legs need to play regularly if you want to get a tune out of them. 

The longer you are out of action once you get older the harder it is and the longer it takes to get back up to speed

In the same way I hark for those days when we had a proper fitba team. ?

Unfortunately looks like Hedges not made the Welsh squad, really unlucky with timing of injury I feel

Might work to our benefit though. Get him rested, fit and 100% ready for next season.

He'd have been unlikely to play if he was in the squad, same with Consi (who at his age needs the break).

But we miss out on payments too

Aren't these payments considerably small? Maybe like a month of his wages or something?

I think its 40k per player. Not worth it to have our (currently) most creative player not 100% for the start of the season and a shattered Consi imo.

[Henry]

Think that's a training squad, the proper squad is announced after the European and play-off finals.

We got £70k for Arnasson in 2018, surely money gone up now I bet

I'm nae sure we did but regardless that was for a World Cup. 

 

Euro 2016
It was confirmed last month that 641 European clubs received compensation for their players' involvement in Euro 2016 and the relevant qualifying matches. This is a significant increase on Euro 2012 (575 clubs) and even more so on Euro 2008 (180 clubs).

To break down the figures, a total of €150 million has been distributed in total, with €100 million being paid for the tournament itself and the remaining €50 million assigned to the qualifying matches. The average payment amount in qualification matches (per player, per match) ranged from €3,536 to €4,307, depending on whether a nation had played 10 or 12 qualification matches. During the tournament itself, the fees are paid per day and the averages differ depending on the category of each club (assigned by FIFA). These averages range from €2,410 (category 3 clubs) to €7,231 (category 1 clubs).

 

 

 

[Durrant Dived]

Personally would rather have Hedges rested and fit than 70k.

[The Gee Man]

True, but gets a game performs amazing and suddenly another £2+ million player

Think the boy he would have to dislodge to get a game has had a nae bad career

[RedRichard]

The new manager must be a total dick, he's chosen some dross from newport county (who were abysmal in the league one play off SF yesterday, somehow winning) over Hedges.

I’m not bothered by that. Helps for us to him him ready for the new season

Or he plays well and then runs his deal down and leaves on the cheap. Rather we get him rested and back for a full pre-season under Glass etc and hopefully sign a new deal 

[Tord31]

We can't let this lad leave for free next summer.

Please get him on a new contract or very reluctantly try to drum up some interest in the english championship for a deadline day move down south.

I'd love him to stay on but we must do the best we can trading players. We'd have mo hassle affording players like McGrath, Kerr, McCart etc if we optimised our selling of players

If he doesn't sign I'd keep him for the season rather than push him out the door for a bit of cash. I think we need him. 

At the end of the day we got him for nothing so if he leaves for nothing after a really good season this year I'd have no hard feelings.
