Donathan Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Club have announced that no-one out of contract will be kept on to protect the future of the club itself. Very sad to see, but the club has to put itself first. Would imagine this will be the case across Scottish football, although I’d have liked to have seen them sign 1 month extensions and then immediately furloughed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Unfortunately needed done. I had hoped to protect the players for a bit longer with furlough etc but If we haven’t been able to do that whilst not effecting the club then it was inevitable. Best of luck to those players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The only sensible option. I'm not sure many of them would have been kept even if the club could have done so. Personally would only have kept Ashcroft, Beadling and Thomson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Am I missing something here? SPFL gave Dundee advice to extend contracts to the end of June, so they could receive furlough pay. Then our chairman (who’s on the SPFL board) doesn’t do the same for our players? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Is there any likelihood at all that any of these players could be signed again* when the club has incoming cash again? Or is that legally not an option? *obviously providing they haven’t been signed up elsewhere. FWIW I’d have really wanted to keep Thomson, wish we’d kept Beadling, and would have preferred to keep Ashcroft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that was the note in the brown envelope? Dear Mr Nelms, In exchange for your 'Yes' vote, we would like to advise you to extend your players contracts by one month. We are planning to start up again in July and you will be the only team with a full squad. None of the rest have the faintest idea. Kind Regards, Neil. DDYB.

Very sad to see, but the club has to put itself first. Sad times in Scottish football Dfc won't be the only club to take those drastic actions. If no income no wages simple will be over 1000 free players going about this summer. Sad for players who have no other income at least if your pt the other income you have will keep a roof over your head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Really one trick pony and he's still to find that one trick. Total conman 33 now too. Safe to say his best years are well behind him.

That's what I was thinking, am I missing something here? Obviously it would be limited at that 80% and a lot would breach the threshold but I didn't think it would oblige Dunfermline to pay anything apart from the manhours to put it all together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Feel sorry for the lads released but tbh all of them were suspect football or injury wise.Could argue that Ashcroft, thomson and Beadling were decent squad players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
