Are there not other board members who voted for Anelka still at the club?

In hindsight, of course the Anelka era was a disaster, but I suppose you can't blame a small lower league club for giving him a go, it was potentially high profile and I suppose he must have talked a good game, the club weren't to know that his superstars that would make you the 3rd force in Scottish football were actually French five-aside league players and London sunday league players. He probably even claimed he'd sign his brother, who probably would have done okay in Div1...

Yep,the Glaswegians whom WG invited into the club and like WG are no longer here.

Not talking out your arse.Figure was 25/30k

No, they went out with Gray. I might be wrong, but I think one of them (McGowan) ploughed money into Hamilton.

I don't know the whole ins and outs of the situation, but I think the board seen the investment that was being offered and let that cloud judgement. I would not be surprised if he was deceptive about what he was offering though. Calderon had managed to keep us up that year against the odds, the way he was treated in the Anlka saga was nothing short of a disgrace.

I don't see anything wrong with the Manager who won us our last title and succesfully being offered a coaching role

Does that mean he got the position???

What did he do?

This

Alert ,East Fife supporter in crowd slag

You lot could dismantle half your stand at present and sell it as unused scrap

Impeccable logic, they are still at the club and are no longer at the club.

Don`t try to be smart twat.Where did I say they were still at the club?Fekin erse

Not a crowd slag. It was a 'your stadium is far too big slag'.

A wiz right,your an erse

Raith took about 2,600 to their home game against us. Let's assume they'd take 2,000 max to Bayview if numbers were unlimited. 550 will get in anyway. You seriously think it would be worth our while to buy and erect a temporary stand just to accomodate 1,450 tops. Gate money would be £21,750 for the extra 1,450 fans, I doubt we'd be left with anything significant once costs were deducted, if anything.

Yes, it's a shame that some Rovers fans can't come to the game but it's not East Fife's responsibility to go out of their way to solve that problem.

Maybe Raith can dismantle one of their stands and set it up at Bayview so they can come to the game. They wouldn't even need it back really, I doubt there'll be many crowds over 5,000 at Stark's anytime soon.

Anyway, this is about a game between teams in the top half of the table, it's of no concern to Arbroath supporters.

Sorry i should know i am not allowed a say here as I support Arbroath who are a full 9 points behind East Fife the team that beat us with an 88th minute free kick.

Hey no, don't cede the ground to the soap dodging junkie, you may support Arbroath but you're also a Rovers fan this year

Rovers are now my 2nd team FOREVER , i liked them before all this anyway

Sorry i should know i am not allowed a say here as I support Arbroath who are a full 9 points behind East Fife the team that beat us with an 88th minute free kick.

I'm glad you know your place now.

looking forward to us fishy b*****ds battering your team gordon

Yep

Calderon was asked to do two things. Win the Second Division, and stay up the following year. He did both.
Ok, with hindsight, the Anelka thing was a blessing in disguise - got rid of a lot of dead wood. But the way Toni was treated was awful.

I dont know enough about Gray's involvment with this to hold that against him.

If he had gone to EF and kept his mouth shut, whilst building a tidy wee team then I would have nothing against the guy. However, the shite he has being saying in the press just incensed me and other Rovers fans I imagine.

In a style akin to Rangers run to the UEFA Cup final.
I could have manged that Raith team to the title, the quality we had that season far outshown any other side (as did the wage bill).

Eh? Was that meant to be a dig or an insult? Please clarify.

your team couldn't batter fish my son

see what i did there

Too right,

In addition, John McGlynn has twice surpassed the points total we got that season with a squad much more limited than we had then!
