You what mate?
I heard on the grapevine (an airdrie forum) that James mcpake was coming out of retirement for a cameo season and he had a host of clubs to choose from and he chose airdrie and they wanted to pay him £500pw and he has chosen to play for free and he isn’t bothered for money

Have Airdrie gone through with the transfer of James Mcpake as anticipated ?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the rumours on that Anton boy from Love Island buying us and putting in new facilities? Can’t say I ever watch it but googled him and he seems a fair chap.

Right somebody spill the beans. How much did we get for him? Atleast tell us if it's enough to get league winning players in! It's got to be 6 figures...
it was 50,000 plus £3m add on if NewCastle win the champions league

It's to do with the railway line. They aren't repairing the bridge.
I’m working on the bridge and can assure you we are repairing it. Whatever agenda you are pushing it’s the wrong one.

I don't think there will have been a budget f**k up fella. We either have the funds or we don't. Given the current climate it's unlikely there will be much, if any funds available so every penny has to be spent wisely. No evidence of that on current showings. This is a poor team. In saying that, this will be the same for the majority of clubs so why have we suddenly become embarrassingly bad and on a downward trajectory that looks unlikely to be reversed?
If the gap gets much bigger at the foot of table then its pretty obvious where we're heading.
I agree...DY has been decent (past tense) and brought us some good moments, but we're going back 3 years. Since then he's done nothing more than keep us up which is fine in my book. I've always maintained we are a mid table 1st division club at best and we have to be realistic. Getting the additional income from reaching the play offs or a decent cup run is as far as we were ever going to go.
All that said, we're now staring into the abyss and after a few years in the 1st it's hard to imagine going down. We've no divine right to stay up but the sudden transformation from being decent mid table side to being utter dross is a hard one to take. Losing key players for unexplained reasons tells us something isn't quite right. If the club are settling for basement league football 22-23 then that's something we have to accept but there will be a couple of hundred folk who won't accept it and wont be back. If DY can't turn this around very soon, put simply...we are fucked.
Here he is, the East Fife guru posting big words to sound like he understands this club.

Aye but Dowds has already played for Falkirk & us this season, and pre covid you could only play for 2 clubs in 1 season. This was relaxed to 3 last year (Jack Hamilton for example), but I’m not sure if it’s changed back.
So what your saying is bring back Covid so we can get dowds?

Listen I was at the game Saturday and some of the fans that I spoke to,s comments about players were absalutely disgusting. I actually reported a few of them to the local steward who as per did nothing

Was fully expecting to hear news of Young’s departure, but nothing.
Looking at his record for the season in all competitions:
Played: 14
Won: 3
Drawn: 1
Lost: 10.
Goals For: 11
Goals Against: 30
Bearing in mind that 2 of those wins came in the SPFL Trust Trophy and 1 was against St Johnstone Under 18’s. It’s an appalling record.
Surely, the board have to act this week, yes a new manager might not make a difference but we need a lift somehow as the level of apathy for this early in the season is not great.
What’s the worst points total for League 1?Google it rather than attention seeking with negativity here.

What an absolut embarrassment we’ve become here guys. Surely it’s time for Darren to go. See that Kevin fozzy fotheringham just left his role and the chat around the Leven area is that hes “signed da ting”

We’ve become an embarrassment. Will be lucky if we even get 9th this season. really need these strikers to sign

Hold on, You were chatting saying we’re signing Jordan Austin and we haven’t signed anyone since Saturday certainly not Austin
do you just announce rumours of players for your fantasy world
going to hide before he bites to my reply again...
.
If you actually bothered your arse to come and watch training you’d see JJ was there. Currently nursing a calf injury and that’s why he’s not signing I’m told. Was speaking to him the other day there.
but forgot you know best, fella’

Not commented on here in ages however feeling the need to going by some of the posts and posts on social medias.
Wallace is away now, yes we are all gutted and I really hope he misses footy and comes back but I can't see it, so that's the end of that. Putting him down as "out" the games, is this gonna continue all season long?
Swanson at the game on Tuesday was still in his brace and looks like his knee still bothers him with the way he's walking. Don't know if he really knows what the timeframe is, never mind the club. We all just need to know he is out for a fair while anyway.
Folk moaning about the lack of depth. It looks like we have a couple of key injuries to starting 11 players.
Davidson looked like he rolled his ankle.
Murdoch I can't really remember.
Dunsy did his hammy and on Tuesday night was getting 1-1 coaching I saw to build it up.
Add Swanson obviously so that's 4 first teamers, so not too great but hopefully get them all back soon.
Squad wise.
Goalkeepers of Gallacher and Smith are the two replacements for long and hart. Time will tell on these ones.
Defence we have murdo, dunsy, Higgins, Dunlop, mercer, Steele and pat with supposed talk of another CB joining which puts us at a stronger position than last year especially having mercer back.
Midfield we have newton, davidson, watt, denholm, Swanson, McManus and Scott Ingles reported of another attacking midfielder joining us. Again looks stronger than last year (should this new guy take over agnews mantle)
Striker wise we now have Smith, Brown, Semple, Connell and Cunningham too.
This is probably close to if not overall better than what we had last year. Yes we had jack Hamilton for a couple months but that was it, teams in our league don't tend to get guys of that quality.
Add in the young guys we have floating about the squad, Dow, Anderson, Campbell, Allan, Healy (out on loan), McKenzie and Dair with Dow being a stand out in my eyes. The squad is actually not as bad as people are making it out to be.
What has clearly become very apparent is teams are spending through the nose on some players with the numbers being banded about for players.
Teams like Kelty, Darvel, Alloa, Cove all paying crazy part time money supposedly and then you have Queen's park paying full time wages.
I think the main thing us as fans can do to help the club is to try and get to as many home games as we can to increase the club coffers, buy season tickets, order hospitality (if possible for friend's birthdays, Christmas etc) and try our utmost to get more money into the club.
An extra 20 people at every home league game this season paying for an adults ticket is £110 towards an extra players wage.
Now imagine if we packed out Bayview by an extra 100 with people deciding just to go down and help their club?? That's probably pushing getting in 2 big earners into our squad.
The little things matter to clubs at this level so the more folk that just decide to get a season ticket or just to go to the games is a massive help to the team, to the budget, to bringing in better players, to bringing more people to the game as standard of football is rising etc etc.
we don't have a sugar daddy like kelty to pump in the money in the hope that fans start coming to games due to the hype.
Its definitely a vicious circle and we can definitely do our bit to help speed up the process and help get the hype of East Fife up a bit.
This is a slightly over detailed assessment of my thoughts and is what brought about the “negative” chat I stated last week.
we are signing a young striker from Havant and Waterlooville that has stats to rival ally mccoist (albeit at non league level), watch our fans still greet about it like little entitled babies

Hope y’all going to watch us destroy St Johnstone B tonight, those who don’t go will be the ones that moan about us not signing good players. Huge transfer news incoming
I’m always right

1.) We are a huge step up from a managers position. James has always spoken about emulating his hero Paul Scholes who famously came out of retirement for a couple of seasons for Manchester United. It’s in James’ autobiography if you ever get a chance to read it.
2.) 38 these days in league one is nothing. Look at Chris Templeman over the years, it’s actually a very similar situation to Chris templeman - just look at his record for Montrose.
if you’ve any further questions on this please do not hesitate to get back to me via Dm.
