The infrastructure is now tremendous doon the brae and Mr Gall must be applauded for this but I would say it’s now time to draw in the belt and try and run the club sustainably.

I believe there’s a bigger wage bill now than there was last season.

The Talbot players that signed hate everything about Darvel apart from the money and that’s fair enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if Scott Ferguson and McShane were away shortly, possibly to make up for the massive shortfall of cash that’s needed on a weekly basis.

Dennis Paterson must be due on to blame the ref for gettin beat

Take your blue tinted specks off mate, every post you blame the ref, I was at the medda last week and it was decent but we should be hammering Gretna, discipline issues appear to be creeping in as well 3 sending offs in 2 games.

He was at the game yesterday standing next to us and was asking about players

Was at the medda game today with meddda hospitality and Darvel were great to watch, 6/7 passes max and then getting the ball into forward areas with loads of support from midfield, result never in doubt but fair play to the medda team They bust a gut all the way to the final whistle.

If David Grant is still playing up top for them he will cause problems, played for Darvel for a couple of seasons, tremendous hold up play and can finish.

£5k signing on fees are the new normal doon the brae it seems……… madness

Doon the brae

I’ve heard Darren Henderson has knocked them back at least once and I believe Meggat was offered the job as well.

You go every week, speak to Gall or a committee member and ask.

Sad news today for the club that honorary member Mrs Ilene Wylie has passed away, an ever present for decades doing a variety of tasks along with her late husband Jim Snr, condolences to Jim, John and their families. R.I.P. Ilene

If it was me I’d take a reasonable fee for the players that want away without rippin the hole out of it assuming they still have a year left and get a bankroll for a new manager coming in.

I think that’s the point being made hence the riddy, so are you happy with Darvel’s season taking out the Aberdeen game given that they have the biggest budget in the league?

Massive budgets especially Darvel compared to Beith, you’re deluded if you think otherwise.

I think that was done because all of these were under the councils upkeep, The football club were on a long term lease and still were 2 years ago, regarding being a plc the only one I can see is reference the old Darvel Juniors which was defunct many years ago.

I believe there was a meeting with no balance sheets handed out .

The park is on lease from the council and it remains to be seen if everything is paid for or it is owed to Gall/Brownings the bakers, there’s no way of telling as I believe it was a closed shop agm. If the money is legally owed back the club is fucked.

I believe that’s Mark Craig’s title.

Yes they have one of them as well, I believe that’s a £25k a year role as was advertised as such.

There is a “Sporting Director “ at the club

A lot of the squad I believe are on 2 year deals, it remains to be seen if what I’m hearing is correct that the budget will stretch to anywhere close to what it was this season, official or unofficial budget.

Whoever it is I would think they will have to work with a vastly reduced and more realistic budget.

It’s JG fault for authorising that sort of money
