The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

According to the Evening Telegraph the compensation was £30000. Can it be as low as that?

That is probably the majority of McKinnon's yearly salary, so I'd see that as a reasonable offer.

Fair chance part of that may go on a subsequent compensation package, right enough.

That doesn't seem to be the consensus among Thistle and United fans.

Plus he is a townie as well.

Townie thing aside, his teams were successful and seemed to play reasonably good football. That went wrong this season, but still.

There's talk that JMc was in on the transfers and made some cash out of them. If true, he's a sleekit wee gold digger and he'll not find any cash lurking aboot Stark's. If untrue, then still not convinced. A bit meh.

 

No idea if that's true or not either, but it wouldn't be particularly unusual for a manager to have a small percentage of any player sales built into their contract. Needn't make them sleekit, nor gold diggers, nor necessarily mean he even wanted the players sold.

Stephen Pressley is looking to head back home from Fleetwood due to his family being homesick and looking for a gig in Scotland. Perfect fit for Raith, he hates the Pars, and has his teams playing great flowing football.

Is he still rocking the brown shoes?

Percentages I heard bandied about weren't small and would certainly give him an unhealthy interest in selling on prize assets.

Greig Spence to DAFC full time? Heard it from a Dunfy contact.

It will be interesting to see how he gets on next season. He's proven he can score goals in a relegation threatened team, albeit at a lower level, so Pars will no doubt be hoping he can repeat the trick for them.
