Mr Bunny Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Just heard Martyn Corrigan has signed part-time for Stirling Albion. Heard he was offered more wages to do so as well, can't be right...surely! They have no debt, we owe over a million. Also I'd expect we have a few palyers who get a good wage, several who get an OK wage and a few not so good a wage. I'd have expected Corrigan didn't get that great a wage from us as he was cover rather than a regular. All the above is pure speculation on my part. And I should add - why would anyone know what he was offered by them and what he earned with us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you make a good point, it could also be the case that the bonuses are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Goalkeeper Chris Smith has left St Mirren to sign a one-year contract with Dunfermline. He was loaned to the East End Park club during last season - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dunfermline_athletic/8802691.stm.

One of the PropCo lies we were told was that they would take £1M off the debt bringing it down to about £700000 and freeing up cash for the playing budget.

There could of course be genuine economic reasons for it but what irks me is that they don't trust us to actually try to explain what has happened. Just give vapid comments about lower than expected income. That's true to some extent but if we were taking that much off the debt surely it would have at least meant we were no worse off than before when we're now having to make all sorts of cut-backs.

1 John Lambie Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Would have been happy with Corrigan & McGeough battling for the RB spot & moving Paton on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Gareth Wardlaw is leaving Cowdenbeath to join Danny Lennon at St Mirren if this morning's papers are to be believed. Does Lennon genuinely think this type of player will keep St Mirren in the SPL after losing Dorman and Mehmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done deal - http://www.dunfermlinepress.com/sport/roundup/articles/2010/07/15/402470-pars-sign-striker-clarke-from-dundee/. Dundee must have financial troubles to allow Clarke to go.

MWM Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) I have no idea how a club reportedly in big debt like Dunfermline can go out willy nilly and sign Clarke, Keddie and Smith. They won't be on buttons. We are at such a disadvantage when it comes to competing with clubs. Edited July 15, 2010 by MWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 OR they have four other strikers all much better than Pat Clarke? I can see that Griffiths, Higgins and McMenamin were ahead of him but they punted Antoine-Curier out on loan last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Antoine-Curier fella not back in the fold? If so they'd be a bit daft not punting one between Clarke, McMenamin and Higgins. Surprised it's Clarke ahead of Higgins all the same.

Yes, last season. He's now back at Dundee. It was Scott who sanctioned his move to Accies. One of the first things Chisholm did as Dundee boss was attempt to recall him.

Lindau Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I have no idea how a club reportedly in big debt like Dunfermline can go out willy nilly and sign Clarke, Keddie and Smith. They won't be on buttons. I would imagine they have a board that are willing to go into their own pockets to get the manager the players he wants. That will never happen at Firhill unless there is a clear out of the current board (fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted July 16, 2010 Members Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Looks like Dunfy are this seasons version of Dundee from last season throwing money at a manager who isn't capable of getting a team promoted. But then again, at least Dunfy are organised well behind the scenes when it comes to raising cash. Falkirk and Dunfy are two models that someone from our board should be inspecting to see how they operate as they both seem to do well off the park when it comes to raising money.

"Well organised at raising cash" "operate well off the park" Interesting to note that Dunfermline's debt has now reached £11.7million. But their running loss was less of a loss than the previous year. So they are fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted July 17, 2010 Members Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 What I meant by that statement, which obviously hasn't come across well, is that they do a lot better from off the field activities than we do re-match hospitality ranges and other stuff like that. They're better organised and have more options. They do however, **** up royally when it comes to spending cash no doubt whatsoever hence my comparison with Dundee!

I see Darren Lee Smith has said he's signed for Ross County but can't see anything from the club confirming this, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
