James McPake "Pars can't compete in transfer market with rivals"


Recommended Posts

It's a long read without really saying very much and it was probably only made to try and put out the fire that James McPake lit. 

Our first team is decent and up there with the best in the division as shown when we ripped Dundee United apart. However we have little to nothing as back up. I hope that we're not going to rely too much on the younger players as Pars fans have very little patience when things aren't going well and it could destroy them.

can’t disagree with that. Interview was forced because of the manager’s comments and it doesn’t tell us much. Just very predictable stuff.

What happened to the theory that the Rosyth training ground, was a great lever for signing players?  
 

The financial challenges with relegation and our poor cup runs have been well documented.  As have the additional costs from board room changes, designed to generate more income streams.  Is our only hope to unearth another couple of Otoo’s and KRH’s?

I think it will be a couple of years before the training ground will be an attraction for players. It will probably need another 1 million plus invested into it for it to be an attraction and how many grants will they get. The building will cost a fortune alone.

“We continue to invest into this facility as we think having our own training ground can help differentiate us from the competition, attract talent and provide an environment that we can enhance the development of our players of all ages”.  Chairman’s statement, Friday 21 June 2024

Until the training ground is fully functional with the building etc, it’s not going to attract any players in the way they hope. For example, rovers have everything at starks park and looks a lot nicer at the moment. Obviously we know they are spending ££ but facilities also are better than us atm

Agreed, players aren't going to be looking at how the training ground might look in a few years, they will only be interested in the facilities that they will use for the period of their contract and right now the offer looks poor when they can't even change clothes after training
