Not what the latest accounts state The club have been trying to get Sim to hand over the deeds for quite sometime but to no avail.Sim said only a few years ago he had no intention of selling. No dispute there.Rent has varied over the years due to the club not being able to afford it ,6k,4k,nothing at all to whatever they are paying now.Resulted in the club running up thousands of a shortfall Due to my work location,poor internet access,connection I have little time to post under Mij never mind under any other guise but bet away Fantalk,last time I posted on there was near 5 years ago if not longer As you appear to be so interested in me for some unknown reason just like to make you aware that I,ll be off the radar for the next few weeks

And? Away man,Sim wouldn't give the stadium away for £450k. We ain't being paying anything near the £6k rent for years

From the horses mouth Did they? Good post

Not agreeing or disagreeing with you Andy just your post could have come straight from the horses mouth We have ambition?The club/some individuals did not want to go up last season I think its pretty obvious that we in fact no other teams in the league can compete with the big 3 financially but we have to be competitive with the rest playing some decent stuff to keep what supporters we have and possibly getting some of the deserters back As an aside,the likes of Inverness,Motherwell etc who have poor gates, play good football and compete with clibs with much bigger budgets than them Although happy to sing the praises of these business men for the job they are doing and have been for a number of years lets not forget they are part responsible for the situation we found/find ourselves in BTW,4 business men

That long since I watched the Vid but sure it was stated they or any club could not make long term plans(financially)There was nothing I recall regarding how much debt we were carrying although thats available to shareholders or can be sourced from company house.Also cant recall any mention of how to reduce the debt

Turnbull?

Not laughable in the least.Happened to be with Raithies auld man at the time.

As we highlighted in our Chairman's letter to season ticket holders, the financial climate of the game in Scotland remains extremely challenging for every Club, and DAFC is no exception. Particularly as we will again be operating as a full time Club in the third tier of Scottish Football, which makes planning for the future very difficult Make it less challenging and less difficult by not operating full time status in the third tier and build slowly

Thats why I said "it may comes across like that to supporters of other clubs" and it may also come across that way to tax payers or creditors who received the square root of zilch

Where and when did it happen?It may comes across like that to supporters of other clubs because of what I pointed out and sure if the shoe was on the other foot you`d feel much the same.Not argueing about the punishment given if punishment is the write word but not severe enough IMO not just for Dunfermline but for all/other clubs.Too easy for clubs and companies in general to spend money they dont have,wrack up debts,default on payments,enter admin,ditch their debt and then continue in a similar vain and seem to be not a lot worse off,in fact in a better position than those that scrimp and save to pay their dues. .Not your fault I know. Dundee twice,Livi,Motherwell,the Orcs? and Dunfermline all seem to be on a better footing than many other clubs who try and service their debt I think its natural for other supporters to feel aggrieved that clubs foe example like yours can stay full time especially next season with much lower gate revenue,sign players on two year contracts etc after such a short space of time out of admin Of the course the club want promotion and to be as successful as possible but hopefully not at all cost so heres hoping the current incumbents have got the simple adding and substraction correct and not we must get up next season come what may

Yep Must be pretty galling for supporters of other clubs who run a tight ship trying to pay bills watch a club who robbed the tax payer and many small businesses,offer 0 pence in the £ stay full time,hoover up players and general carry on regardless with a GIRUY attitude

Agree,good looking but lacking in a bit of depth squad.A centre half and a couple of loanees required IMO Factor in Murray unlikely to play much and Hills time in the stand serving suspensions our squads a bit thin Pleased with the Cardle signing and happy I took us at 12/1

Similar to what came up in my conversation with TH.He was hopeful of a signing or two on Sunday.Signings may well have been made and as has been said awaiting on official registration.

More or less what I was alluding to Craig.Indirectly it makes football clubs/debts preferred creditors

Which would mean the SFA overruling the conditions of Administration then Do you have a link to all football debt has to be paid in full?Was led to believe this is the case in England but unaware all football debt has to be paid under the no preferred creditor status in Scotland edited to say In a situation of insolvency, the "football creditors rule" means that debts to other clubs or players are prioritised and must be paid in full before the club is eligible to compete again in the league. The football creditors rule does not apply in Scotland.

Apologise RoversMad never saw your post

Corrrect me if I am wrong but there is no preferred creditor so surmising Hamilton will be added to the list of creditors. If this is indeed the case and guessing the Aministrator is not in a positon to pay the debt as it would be giving preference to one creditor over others Dunfermline are going to have to rely on a mystery benefactor to pay this debt in order to particpate in the SC.

It was going to the Steering Group

Have to feel sorry if there is no deal to be had for the supporters,staff and players. I have some abiding memories of visiting East End Park and not just of our derby games but of the many European games I attended in the 60`s,yes this coming from a Raith Rovers supporter(dragged along by my dad ) and Norrie McCathies service All the Best

Suppose any deal acceptance with be determined by how much Mastertons willing to relinquish Do you see Masterton walking away without a sizeable wedge in his pocket?

That could be aimed at our BOD

Yes so much so they sponsored two Raith players this season
