Ro Sham Bo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hibs might get a couple of decent performances from Laidlaw. It's when the inevitable howler comes that he'll fall to pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Find it amusing Dunfermline fans are now convinced they weren't in for McManus because he's decided to sign for us teehee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Nobody knows if we were in for him or not. Think it's a good signing for Raith, been impressed with him each time I seen him with Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Nobody knows if we were in for him or not. Think it's a good signing for Raith, been impressed with him each time I seen him with Morton. Some people do B)Quite happy we've got a recognised forward. If he's anything like the last striker we had from Morton then he'll fit right in. As for Skacel, it'll be interesting to see how he fits in. You'd hope all the young lads will see it as a chance to learn from a veteran who's spent his career at a higher level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Jeez I was merely pointing out that Raith clearly had a budget in mind for the season ahead and it seems the reason they've been able to sign two decent players is because they've overspent said budget,, however it's presented. Is that not a fact? If you guys trust the current board not to do this repeatedly over the course of a few season and get yourself in the shit again (albeit on a much smaller scale than we did) then fair enough. Just my opinion, but it sets wee alarm bells ringing when the board repeatedly ask for bigger crowds to turn out whilst relying on local businesses to fund the playing squad.

mojito Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If the external funding was used to plug the gap in operating costs then yes, the klaxon should be going off.What the local businesses have allowed us is the luxury of a few extra bodies. Could we have assembled a squad without the funding? Absolutely, but we've brought in two solid signings.Financially, we are doing relatively well. By not over stretching ourselves we've been able to turn over modest profits year after year. Money that I would hope our board would be utilising to bring down our debt, you know instead of just ditching it.Well done to the two businesses for support! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The bottom line is that the board aren't spending money that we don't have. Without that external funding, neither Skacel nor McManus would've been signed. Yes, it isn't an ideal situation and goodwill isn't sustainable. However, the club has been operated at a profit for at least the last 3 seasons and so I trust the board's financial management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
