I remember it well, if reported correctly he's on £6,000 a week. For a loan until the end of the season your probably talking what, £120,000.
If we beat Pars on Sunday we are in Cup Quarters, worst case scenario is we get the old firm, big gate receipts plus live tv match. Worst case, arguably a better squad than any of the other teams and we may reach semi's and possibliy the finals of the Scots Cup.
I don't think, if the rumour is true, that its unfair to accuse AFC of lacking ambition in the above scenario. We'd stand a lot better chance of winning on Snday with Hughes in the team, imo.
