Another The Other Chairman Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 8 hours ago, Wee Jockie said: They have had specific plans for some time. I’m sure things have happened that we’ll never know about. Not long ago we were in a reasonable to good position in Div 1 with players who seemed happy to be at the club with a manager who seemed equally happy. Then it hits the fan. I know that tentative enquiries have been made in the past x years to invest in the club or buy it and once proper research was done potential investors have been advised to walk away. That is fact. With no disrespect to Kelly.. good luck to them… but come on! It’s a pretty simple situation. We have a 51% owner. Do we really need a “potential investor” who needs advise on what that means. This is a 2nd Div. football club. Due diligence could probably be done in a morning. The potential investor would need to buy 51% or get on his bike. Maybe they have a master plan. Invest money in the club, increase the value of the 51% and then buy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Unless one of us wins the lottery, or some madman with too much money comes along, can't see how we can change the situation. A few years back an offer was made to the owners, thier reply, "that'll do for starters, when can we expect the rest?" All the due diligence wouldn't change that. They've an unrealistic figure in mind. It would appear we're stuck with this strangle hold slowly sucking the life out of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammytroot Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Question is why anyone at the club allowed any individual to own 51% of the club. The fact that Rankine effectively asset stripped the club by buying the land outside the stadium from the club at a discounted price only compounds the club's plight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AberhillEnd Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I've heard the figure £300k mentioned. No idea if this is accurate but it's a hell of a lot of money for 51% of anything in Methil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a rhetorical question as you know the answer. If an answer was required it is contained in the last two words of your post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Schiavone looked OK, he only really came into our team when went on a really dreadful run and he didn’t do a great deal to warrant us keeping him beyond January. His hold up play was decent but he only managed 1 goal in his time with us - against Sauchie in the cup. He didn’t look like an out and out striker IMO. He was on loan with Gala Fairydean for the second half of last season but I’ve nae idea how he got on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Some people are saying Schiavone was listed as a trialist for Rovers last week, but others seem a tad doubtful as to whether it was him. I think he's from the Lochgelly area. Edited July 2, 2022 by Specky Ginger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonFife Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Scored one goal in 2nd half of the season for Gala. Zander Murray seemed to get majority of their goals, so not sure if Ryan played through the middle for them or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed hearn Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Delighted to see a win and good to see Liam Newton and Walls do well. However we badly need some height ,power and experience in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Quality goal from Alan Trouten. The youngsters did well when they came on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AberhillEnd Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Thought the guys did ok today, was difficult to judge as Cowdenbeath were so bad. Schiavone looks a good acquisition and you would think Williamson would be offered a contract. Would like to see a bit more hight up front though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's from the Lochgelly area. He's from Dunfermline iirc. I think he's got the potential to be a decent player. He's big, strong, quick, decent in the air, deceptively skilful and hardworking. He's one of these strikers more likely to be "a handful" than a goalscorer though, if that makes sense? In fact I think if he was a wee bit shorter he'd probably be an attacking midfielder or a winger and not a centre-forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
