Guest Axle Grease Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 From what I've read from a poster close to the Pars board, SC spoke to all of them individually and RMc sent goodwill text messages to them all. Perfectly acceptable behaviour given the circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d still expect the senior players - and the club captain especially - to receive more than a text from the chairman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but if I were to have my contract of employment terminated due to a contract coming to an end I'd expect it to be my manager who spoke to me rather than one of the company Directors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd imagine attempting to run a business under challenging circumstances in these unprecedented times, as well as running the football club he represents as an unpaid supporter. I don't think it's right to villify him on this occasion. But there's not much else to talk about so it's inevitable I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s interesting how football fans never want football to be treated as a “normal business” until it’s convenient. I’d have expected a phone call from both manager and chairman, especially given the circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these circumstances treating the club as a normal business is exactly what I'd expect as it may just keep Dunfermline alive. It won't win over all fans or sections of the media but so be it. But in saying that, in this specific circumstance the out of contract players weren't treated unfairly imo. But it's up to the individual how they interpret these reported situations, which is fair enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Scenes as clubs such as Hamilton, St Mirren and St Johnstone release players without being given the "bad boy" treatment. I really liked Paton, I'm a fan of the whole "we'll fight for each other" type leader who talks young players through games (such as he did with Turner quite often). BUT, he's got nothing to complain about right now and I think he says as much in the interview. Everyone hates losing their job and it's absolutely fine to feel bitter for a couple of days about it. That's good, get the negatives out of your system then move on. That sounds like what he's done and I'm sure he'll be picked up by a Thistle, or Ayr or someone. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Out of curiosity, what is the overall opinion on Lee Ashcroft? We've been rumoured to be having a look at him in case we don't get Berra back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Firstly, it was Lemashik that Zoran's surname was pronounced. He was garbage, never kept a first team clean sheet. Useless Yugoslavic twat. Secondly, Ashcroft is absolutely fine at this level if he has a commander next to him. Without someone pulling the strings, he's a bit lost and with someone utterly incompetent beside him he's dragged down to their level. However, he did score probably the second greatest goal of all time last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds just like Meekings honestly. 6 minutes ago, Stellaboz said: However, he did score probably the second greatest goal of all time last season. It was indeed a great goal. Dunno if I could watch it for 10 straight minutes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
