This has to be the most honest, coherent thing to come out of DAFC for a long time.

f**k.

I have just read Jefferies interview on the pars website. Grim reading.

But a little insight into the wage bill suggests that the average wage of £500/week gives a monthly salary of a bit over 2 grand. Multiply this by 22 (size of squad) and I make that £50k per calendar month. Where is the other £150k of monthly liabilities? Management, stewarding, catering and back office plus utilities and misc overheads surely can't be three times the first team budget? Am I missing something here?

Certainly sounds like a lot of additional overheads. Don't think there's much clarity coming out of the club at all at the minute.

don't want to see you guys die off but at the end of the day its only a game ! (mastertons game)

That's deep, man.

Just copy the Gers.

You'll be debt free by the KO of next season and you can also keep history and all.

Liquidation has a new meaning you know.

They have never copied anyone, just existed in a parallel universe.

What they do have in common is bawbaggery in the ownership department and by the looks of things it's just a matter of time before Hearts make it a triumvirate.

The 3rd division will have to expand at this rate. It's just like playing SFL Snakes and Ladders. Why not set up a new division 4 and call it the administration league, with entry to the 3rd division after a set period of stability?

If that statement from JJ done anything to us Pars fans, it made us heartbroken. It's terrible reading. I urge every and any Pars fan who can afford, and make, it on Saturday to get along to EEP - each and every one of these players and non-playing staff deserve to be supported and respected and showing this on Saturday by attenidng will probably mean a lot to them, as well as giving them the best possible chance of getting more wages next week. Also, when you turn up, if you turn up, remember to protest against the current BoD.

COYP!!

Masterton is an absolute shitebag and if any Dunfermline fan continues to back him they need to be put in a mental home.

It's bad enough that he has the audacity to only pay the players/staff 20% of their wages, yet he doesn't even have the decency to go down to the training ground and inform the players/staff about it to their faces. Instead he sends down one of his yes men to do the job.

Mind you i'm sure his daughter only got 20% of her wages as well eh? Did she f**k.

Personally think that Brian should be black carding Jeffries here, that statement is bound to be damaging to the clubs public image.

[DAFC]

Brian and Jason can f**k off, those obsequious gimps proped up GM for years and many posters had to suffer their BS when trying to point out the truth and save the club.

There's dozens of full time workers at EEP every day trying to run the restaurants and function rooms.

Gavin is trying to run an SPL setup which is going to fail when you have better function rooms only five mins along the road at the college.

Partick and Morton run at a cost of £100K, we should have scaled back after relegation.

Paying Jim Leishman £50K a year and his daughter £80K doesn't help either.

Instead of players going on strike etc, why don't the fans boycott or even threaten to boycott a game.That should bring this to a head quick enough .

I really can't understand how that interview slipped through the rose-tinted DAFC official press filter untainted. Good on JJ for being so open.

Out of interest, what does his daughter do for the club?

[swedishsale]

it was JJ who pursuaded the players not to go to the SFL last week presumably on the back of reassurances from the Purvis guys that the wage short fall would not happen again.

Now that it has the Purvis guy has probably lost all credibility of knowing what is going on and I suspect JJ will take the gloves off in terms of complains to the LMA and the SFL.

Takes a wage!

Absolutely f**k all, I'd imagine. I read "somewhere" she works just a few hours per week and earns roughly £80k per year.

c**t. Masterton is a complete and utter c**t.
