Superally Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Its dreadful in a time where the club should be trying to motivate the fan base and creating a sense of anticipation for the season ahead what we are getting is our legs being kicked away and preparation for a relegation fight.

Secure Par Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Plus surely we have a player in mind to replace Edwards? We just sold one of our best players so there should be cash set aside to bring in a decent replacement. The Germans put in their own money for the Astro at Rosyth(place looks utter ****) and looking for a grant to do the clubhouse up so where has the rest of the money from Nesbit etc gone? I know that we only offered Stevenson a 1 year deal so he went to Raith…did we offer Hanlon a 1 year deal? We still need experience within the squad….I feel sorry for the management as it’s obvious they are not fully being backed by the board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but the new strips out on Saturday😅 and I can bet the club will want all our ££££ BUT where will that go to? Will Mr Cook be present on Saturday?

A bit like there’s hardly been any German presence at the club also Edited June 20 by SRBpar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 It's not just concerning, to me it's actually predictable. They can dress this up how they like but my opinion is that we are skint, and I do not believe we should be. Let's have this straight here, both the actual loss and the heavy projected loss this financial year isn't good, it just isn't. To be clear (again) no cash reserves were used in funding the £890,000 spent on the Academy pitch. So that in theory hasnt affected the financial day to day running of the club. We received around £185,000 from the Nesbit deal which went straight into the running of the club. I'm just not feeling right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Did I read somewhere last week that the money for Edwards is going back into the squad or did I imagine that? I hope it doesn't go the same way as the Nisbet money did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they are applying for a grant to do the clubhouse up at Rosyth…so no money spent on Astro/applying for a grant = a minimal amount of spend on the academy. 185k from Nesbit,season ticket and strip sales last season and we struggled plus a 1m loss in the accounts…it just doesn’t add up🤷 I wonder where all the profit wil go from kit sales on Sat and my hard earned cash buying 3 tops?

Plus get a bit of experienced players into the squad. I’m ****ed of already and pre season hasn’t even started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I've renewed me and the wife's season tickets, out of loyalty, bit I'm not happy at all. But nowt I can do about the way they run the club. Tbf, there are positives, the fanzone for instance and let's hope more financial opportunities come about. But we're skint and we need players, as confirmed by James McPake. I think he's ****ed off.

I'm not happy with where the club is just now, but we shouldn't be seeing that level of confrontation. It's partly what cost us Ross McArthur after all.

In no way do I mean the leveL of abuse Ross MacArthur received. I believe the fans have the right to ask David cook those questions and what’s being done to solve them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 The question I have is has McPake just done an interview with the Courier basically saying he has to work with what he has and no further signings from now on as the club is skint etc… then it’s posted on cows. Surely the Mr Cooks etc won’t like this with an open day on Saturday? This doesn’t make sense as it could have been done next week once the club had taken profits from the open day… there is something not right going on with management/boardroom etc….could be wrong but I find it weird the statement at this time.

I feel McPake has had enough and made a statement to the Courier today. No way will Mr Cook and the Invisible Germans like that statement.
