Salary cap questions, and new coach
If the club is under salary cap pressure, and needs to retain its better players, could it mean that we won't be paying mega-bucks to the new coach? It may well be that the new coach is one of the lower profile asistants who can't really demand a big salary package. Of all the canditates, Watters seems to have the biggest reputation and accolades, so you would think, would want the biggest salary of the assistants in line for a senior role...the plot thickens. ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

etc
salary cap only has to do with the players.

The salary cap doesn't apply to coaching staff so there is nothing to stop St Kilda paying Watters, Hinkley, etc $1million a season.
Whether there is enough $$$ in the entire club budget is a different issue though.
Pelchen was on Trade Week Radio this morning confirming that the cap is tight... he also said that no big names will be traded but there were no guarantees (which I read as if we get a fantastic offer that relieves the salary cap issue & delivers us early picks then we'll look at it).

The reported issues are with the cap though.spert wrote:I was thinking more of the overall club budget. I presume the club pays the players and the coach from the same bucket of money.
A lot of people reading too much into the significant loss due to the stadium deal. With the new AFL distribution money the club should be flush with cash!

True, though with the club being in debt for various reasons, I think the money is a bit scarce.Rosco wrote:Yeah, but the apparent issue relates to the cap being tight, haven't heard anything about the overall bucket of cash being lightspert wrote:I was thinking more of the overall club budget.

Posting a loss and being in debt are two different things...spert wrote:True, though with the club being in debt for various reasons, I think the money is a bit scarce.

if that's the case how would trading a "Big Name" help that, sadly again the media hacks seem too get the truth on one thing and just pile on so much rumour and crap on top you end up not knowing what's true or not , More then likely we are pretty tight for this year but trading away players only effects next year and beyond.Rosco wrote:SEN (Patrick Smith?) just said we've got some bonuses to pay, back dated from 2010mcadam05 wrote:What I don't get is how can the Cap be tight if the cap for next year and beyond hasn't even been set yet by the AFL

- "I wouldn't say that we're over the cap - that would be wrong. Basically our cap is in a strained position, that's a fair assumption to make, but at the same time, we're not over the cap. We'll be under the cap in 2012. All we're trying to do is manage it in a professional manner."
and that puts a fullstop too the wholething! Can we all just move on now
Thanks for explaining the issue regarding bonuses from 2010... I wasn't able to work out how we would be so close when we didn't go far into the finals this year. I had no idea that things could be backdated like that! Wow. You learn something every day.

TBH, if the PLAYERS want to stay at the club, they should stick by each other, take 5% off their pay each, from the first to the last player. Would show good leadership and core, along with loyalty to shove in Ross Lyon's face, along with telling their supporters/world they're the real deal.
Should free up enough cash. Then win the grand final next year, and write their own history...
Lets face it, afl players earn more than enough to be comfortable as it is compared to the average joe blow.

I thought the same thing if I was a bunch of cocks that showed my c**k or a juiced up pill popper why not show some good will to the fans that they continually drag through the nettles with them in every off season. Forgo the back, crack and sack and spray tans for a year and give something back.
