Double a quarter of the transfer budget.
How much is half the transfer budget then ?
I heard from within the club that much of the McCallum money had completely dried up by July and was used primarily to cover running costs and pay the players once they came off furlough.
Also, transfers are almost never paid completely upfront so undoubtably we would have structured the fees paid for Hamer, Walker, and when the time comes, Sheaf in instalments to be paid over the course of 2-3 seasons.
So, it's not quite as simple as spending what we've earned.
Sounds like a fun game show
Yeah I expect it did. I don’t think it is transfers in = transfers out. It’s always been based on the budget given by Sisu as AFAIK we’ve never been self sustaining and still aren’t.
I was saying at the start that £2m is about half our budget and that was worked out on what we’d spent. Then Magwitch said it was more cos we have money in and I was just pointing out that even by that metric it was still about £4m.
From the club's s point of view I would think that extending the ban on fans in stadiums is no bad thing. I presume they have sold out the 3500 membership/ST allocation, so that money, reduced as it is, is in the bank. I also presume that opening up St Andrews for the 3500 to get in would have cost them money, stewards etc, with little or nothing to be made on a match day. Therefore, until more that 3500 can be admitted, or hospitality outlets, parking etc can be opened up, they will be saving money.I think I remember seeing Boddy saying that we were budgeting for most the season to be behind closed doors anyway so I think whether we sign this guy or not we have been careful within a budget that was on the safe side of things in regards to fans returning etc. Will be interesting to see if this happens or not.
Roy Walker or Stuart Beavon?
The Scottish window closes tomorrow. Just wonder whether someone might test Dundee Uniteds will to keep Shankland. There was a story in one paper that Burnley might be after him on loan for £500k and that Dundee United are desperate for money. It also said they have a young striker Logan Chalmers who a number of Premier League clubs have looked at. It did make me wonder whether possibly that's who we were also scouting recently.
No even closeHe’s never Premier League standard is he?
This obsession is odd with shankland can you imagine how many Tyler Walker would score up there and He’s sat on our bench max would probably do the same we don’t need shankland
It’s the SPL - the debate has been long done but I would say it’s somewhere between lower Championship level and the top of L1. There is not a chance Biamou would be able to score as many as he has

If Dundee are taking him on loan, means nothing for Dundee Utd I'd have thought.Reports suggesting that Dundee are taking Mark McNulty on loan from Reading!
Does that mean that Shankland is on his way out?
No point having another striker we can't get the ball to the one we've got just ask godden.

No they want him to go down in the 5thReports suggesting that Dundee are taking Mark McNulty on loan from Reading!

Yet we picked up Micheal Rose from the Scottish Championship and people were rating him at 10 millionDisagree. I think you're giving the quality of the league far too much credit. For instance, the likes of Livingston, Hamliton, Ross County simply aren't comparable to top end league one clubs.
You have Rangers and Celtic who are probably top end Championship, Aberdeen, Hibernian Kilmarnock who would fit in mid-table League One, and the rest are certainly League Two quality. The league is completely disjointed.
