Thanks, I can now understand your view. I only came in on page 145 of this thread!!!

I would be interested to hear any East Fife supporters views on what i've just posted (and i'm sure Livvy supporters would be very interested as well). Not sure if more information has ever come out over that old story and was it ever more than a rumour, never heard of any lawsuit against the Scotsman?

Strong, Strong words but no explanation! I really dont think you should be saying such things without explaining or presenting evidence to back up what your saying! Not sure what Mr Rankines motives are, he comes across quite a quiet and secritive person. I however must say that He left Dumbarton in better condition than when he arrived at the club. Was this mainly down to soaring property prices (at the time) and a bit of luck? That is the positive side of Mr Rankine, the negative has to be the alledged proxy and highly contrivertial shareholding at East Fife. The Scotsman (credible newspaper in my view) ran a big story a number of years ago about some child holding significant sharholding in East Fife believed to be on Mr Rankines behalf? Not sure what his Livvy motive is, likely ££££ signs related but what have Livvy got to loose? What did Neil say this afternoon? I fully sympathise with Livvys current situation despite always having a bee in my bonnet about the old Meadowbank Thistle situation. I would however say that the supporters club members walking out on the meeting does nothing for there credibility and just makes the situation look even more pathetic. Heckling the speakers etc would surely have been a stronger message to the idiot owner.
