Enigma Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 8 hours ago, Rover the Moon said: Greg McEwan definitely away. He’s even deleted his tweet about joining Rovers a few weeks ago. Not surprised given his reputation in a similar role at Hibs. Seemed to be universally disliked. Yeah McEwan is 100% away and I suspect there’s been no announcement as I think he was a contractor anyway. From what I’ve heard he’s been “working” at the clubs since way before the takeover was announced and there was very little to show for those months for which he was taking a wage out of the club. He apparently took the huff after he realised he wasn’t going to be CEO. I heard as well, from somebody who’s sponsored the club before, and have a business in Kirkcaldy, that he seemed to express no real interest in them, despite being a long term supporter and being keen to be involved, and just kept going on about his time/connections from Hibs. A complete charlatan. They stuff about there being a North Stand sponsor being in place is also a complete fabrication. In all honestly his departure sounds to me like a bullet dodged. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Raith fan singing songs about Norrie McCathie is an absolute bellend, yeah he was an legend for our nearest and dearest and got a fair bit of stick on the park during the games which is acceptable. What happened was tragic but thankfully I was lucky enough to see him play a few times, a fantastic football player. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Disappointing to hear that folk are singing about Norrie McCathie. Get that type of garbage snuffed out immediately. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe McEwan was punted early last week after a board meeting and feedback from commercial staff. Seemingly took over £10,000 out the club over 6 months (which iv heard they are going to ask for back). Not one new commercial deal was signed or even close to be signed. The North Stand deal, seemingly was a smokescreen conjured up the day he got the bullet to save him face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I conversed with McEwan via email, and he was very responsive and helpful. This was less than two weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely now he’s punted well be looking for a new commercial director or someone already there takes over? Plus if he’s away maybe mckenzie or one of the other board members over see the new sponsorship at the north stand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halbeath Raith Rover Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Good day out. Mullen, Easton, Stanton and Smith all had some nice moments of play together. Trialist left back seemed good. Also great to see Matthews back. Lithgae are a great wee welcoming club, who wouldn't be out of place in League 1 or 2. Best of luck to them this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
