On the subject of what is or isn't an excellent offer, one that could not be bettered by anyone outside OF. What hasn't been mentioned is the add ons to the offer. Things like bonuses, length of contract, extras for publicity work etc. Yes there are at least two Div 1 teams who probably match us in weekly wages, my guess is they are Dundee and St Johnston, but the overall package is not as good. If the weekly wage is the most important then it says to me that the player wants financial security without having to fight for a place and earn the extra's. In other words a steady decent income whether he plays or not.
Look at the cars driven by some of our players, or the homes they own and tell me they're not paid a decent wage.
As for the future of this club, unless we can get a hard core 5000 we will always be scrapping in the same area of the league and bringing players from the lower leagues. Some may call for lower prices at the gate but in all honesty I dont believe that'll make any difference. Too many folk in the highlands would rather drive by Inverness on their way to glasgow.
