foreverarover Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Maybe they have just clicked that there is he haw in the way of sellable assets and the players they bring in are playing on a pitch that they have to hire each week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I've been re-reading the article again. This particular part caught my attention: Quote A statement given to Courier Sport read: “It is with regret that we are announcing, following two months of applying due diligence, further discussions regarding the acquisition of Raith Rovers are now on hold. “Our representatives were present at Stark’s Park and had talks mainly with the chairman, and some with owner John Sim. "Mainly with the chairman" - the same chairman that's given out two completely gormless statements in the last couple of weeks, giving the impression he knows nothing?

CountryBumpkin Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 32 minutes ago, Against The Machine said: It's maybe just a wee error in the Courier, but it also says he's a free agent... who's a loan star. I read it as 4 deals brokered. Two free agents, a Swiss international and a "loan star". All of it smells of utter shite being peddled by fucking idiots and being heaped on top of the shite peddled by the idiots in charge of the club now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be me, but I've read it so that it's both a Swiss international and a loan from a top club. We couldn't just get a normal philanthropist who wants the club to do well. It simply has to be the most batshit mental scouting scheme on the go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Surely has to be Sim pulling up the handbrake on a runaway deal. He probably wants out. We are a financial liability but if its some chancers piling in saying sign my laddie and his power league team then I'd hope he'd tell them to get fucked and wait for another offer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Am I missing something? Why on earth would the club sanction 4 signings from this mob before the deal has gone through when we clearly don’t have a pot to piss in? Surely if they wanted to complete these signings they need to complete the deal for the club first? I’m no Sim and MacDonald fan but not really sure what they done wrong here, other than get involved with these complete charlatans in the first place obviously. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, this Courier article seems to confirm: -Silverbear Capital is the muscle, driven by the Spanish and Dutch partners. -Dellios is the local front man, with Fraser having been wayyyyyyy to closely linked with him in recent years. —EVRO Football Pro is a amateur act of wannabes and copycats who employ people with the writing skills of a six year-old. -The scheme seems to rely upon Sim paying out in the short term for some bodies and then the investors funding the club going forward -MacDonald is either honest, senile or evasive, depending on how correct the Courier story is. -The investors are either full of s**t or playing a game with the statement to the Courier. Regardless, this reeks like Kirkcaldy of old. Edited January 4, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
