Hedgecutter Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I was just pleased to read we're still going to be in existence for Yorkie to resign at the end of 2013 season. I'm possibly wrong but is a large part of Dunfermline's debt not owed to Yorkston's businesses etc? If he called it all in then you'd be up shit creek without a boat, never mind a paddle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Meanwhile, in a far away reality known as the DAFC boardroom: DAFC – Restructuring of the Board of Directors DAFC is delighted to announce that Bob Purvis, Chairman of the Purvis Group, Jim Thomson, Managing Director of Purvis Group, Bob Garmory Chairman of Carnegie College will be joining the board. ... Bob Purvis added: "Purvis Group believe that DAFC has a bright future and we are looking forward to being a part of the Club as it strives to return to the SPL. We are confident that we can add a new dimension to the business and look forward to joining the current directors in making all the facets of the Club successful."

Broken Algorithms Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'm possibly wrong but is a large part of Dunfermline's debt not owed to Yorkston's businesses etc? If he called it all in then you'd be up shit creek without a boat, never mind a paddle? Its Masterton who is owed the debt. There have been a few whispers of his business being a cause for concern for HMRC, which in turn would knock on the Pars who are due around £30m. As for todays statement, barring Purvis decided to throw in the sums expected by HMRC, the next few weeks will be critical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sounds like everything's OK? That's what the board want the fans to think. I remember in 2004 the club regularly dismissed suggestions of financial difficulty and anyone who dared to question the board was ridiculed... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Top of the league, new directors - sorted! You've cheered me up! Looks like it was all an over-reaction, tbh. Clearly they wanted to bring-forward the Falkirk game to take advantage of your good form. These rumblings of financial catastrophe are most likely simply the machinations of the footballing equivalent of fifth-columnists. And there was everyong going and getting worried. Silly billys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMad Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looking optimistically, could this be the plan to move masterton on to be replaced by Purvis group? Struggle to see an upside for Purvis to come on board if things are about to fold after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars fan Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 So, directors were sick of not getting a say so they withold their cash. This causes cashflow problems and GM and JY now compromise to be more open and allow changes to happen. Seems other investors have sort of blackmailed them in to running the club more efficiantly for the future. I recon the tax bill will be paid by someone with in the club. Just an opinion of course! Long live the DA! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
