It will all be sorted and announced soon 👍

Wonder if it’s coming out of the directors own pockets, rather than the clubs own budget/money I don’t find it fair of them to cripple the clubs money/playing budget for their f**k up

Would have kept him but I’m sure we will adequately replace him tbh. Going to get plenty of stick signing for them considering he lives in Kirkcaldy 

Yep, apparently we couldn’t agree “terms” on a new contract, which has me a bit worried ngl about future contract negotiations like Brad Spencer and Tumilty

Hopefully we get more clarity next week but maybe we have offered more money to Brad and Reghan and he isn’t happy as he was captain 🤷🏻‍♂️

To be honest Bene is probably worth more to a team like Dunfermline than ourselves. I’m totally fine with him leaving, I may live to regret these words but I think we can do better in all honesty.

It could be we only offered him a 1 year deal and maybe he got 2 along the road.

I do think his best days are behind him was a bit of a liability last season and I think change was needed tbh

Yeah 'terms' doesn't always translate into hard cash. At 30 years old he's probably looking for a 2 year deal if he can get one and, although, I would have been fine with a 1 year deal considering the situation with Berra and Lang, I would have been disappointed if we were handing out a 2 year deal based on his age and relative importance to the team moving forward.

I'm in the retain camp, think he carried more blame than was deserved at times. Its a good signing for them and without knowing the replacement a move we can't criticise from the new managers perspective. 

Seems like a trait of the Rovers board, stall then wait for the player/manager or another club to make the move elsewhere.

Great servant, great captain.

I've said it before but to reiterate, not that fussed at him going. He's obviously done a good job overall for the club and goes with best wishes, etc. However, he's just got that off switch for  his concentration/application and it's been a larger part of his game in the last few seasons.

For every match winning challenge like that at Thistle near the end of the season, there is an example of him getting stuck under a high ball against Morton (led directly to a goal) or a fucking ball achingly stupid challenge like that on Broadfoot to lose is a game. 

Like @Enigma, I might yet regret it, but I feel we can do better - even if that is a guy with maybe only 70% of the same skill level but with better decision making - I think we'd be overall better off.
