Is it that OTT to suggest our top earners could be on (60% of) that kind of money? JJ says £500pw is the average in the squad. Back in November, the total wage bill for the club was quoted at £95k per month. Maybe someone with a better calculator than me could do the maths as there appears to be belter of a 'wage' somewhere in there for someone.

A new caravan for his ma' was the only extravagance.

We can have sanctimonious posts about our overspending until the cows come home but these few words sum up the situation. Despite our fiscal fuckwittery we were still in the game so long as our various sugar daddies kept things ticking over. The sugar daddies tested Masterton's resolve and are surely unsurprised to find he was lacking the wedge to keep DAFC ticking over in its current form. If we end up homeless and without a league to play in I'm sure some sort of Dunfermline football club will return. If we end up as a shining example of how not to do things then maybe our downfall will be of some use to other clubs/fans.

It's just a bit of a grouch from JJ - I don't think Falkirk fans need to justify the actions of their club.

Not seen anyone so excited by something on its deathbed since Jimmy Savile borrowed the keys to the hospice one night.

Very true and I can only imagine how amused Pars fans would be if the roles were reversed.

In defence of the Pars fans, the few who turned up today gave the team a good ovation. 0-4 down at half time yet they still got an ovation and again at full time. You can't expect DAFC to be any different to any other team in terms of numpty fans per capita.

According to the Pars's ministry of information, it's all set to go in the next week or so. So it's fucked basically.

I really can't understand how that interview slipped through the rose-tinted DAFC official press filter untainted. Good on JJ for being so open.

Only just noticed this forum. £5 on Saturday for Pars v MORTON, Sons v FALKIRK and a draw between Cowden and Raith paid £78. Partick at 7/5 on Saturday seems like good value given the wages woe at East End.

Betting on the Pars to lose seems to easiest way to make money at the moment.

Let's hope for their sake their next profession isn't too picky about spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.,

He's quite clearly the same person that produces the rambling press releases on dafc.co.uk. Can't fault his/her loyalty to his paymasters.

I'm surprised Pressley found the time to even think about signing a player for you given the amount of time and energy he puts in to looking for a new job.

The players were probably overexcited - Masterton's motivational peptalk on the BBC probably had them so sky high JJ had to sit them all down and give them a spoonful of Calpol before they could start training.

I felt like I was being hypnotised watching the interview. All I can hear in my head now is 'Do a St Mirren. Do a St Mirren. Do a St Mirren. Do a St Mirren.'.

A spokesperson for the club commented "Further to an extremely detailed review by our financial advisors and legal experts..... insert your own line here. The mind boggles. We have financial advisors?

Anyone fancy PM'ing me this infamous document? I think I can imagine the gist of it anyway but it would be good to see the gory details. Cheers!

Maybe he could tap Brian Souter for a few quid to pay a good lawyer? After all, they still maintain a good working relationship don't they?

Noticed on dotnet that the journalist used to work for the Dunfermline Press and was present at one of the recent open meetings. Sounds like the ideal man to get his teeth into the story.
