fieldsofdreams Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Interesting looking at the Darvel facebook page, for the first time fans seem to be demanding answers on what is going on. Surely pressure on the board to confirm to the fans what is happening? With star players away, out big Scottish and South Challenge, unrest within the dressing room, fans that were there when all was going good are no where to be seen, is the writing on the wall? Cut price player sales doesn't install confidence that the club are in a good financial position. Rumours continuing to circulate that the chairman is scrambling about trying to save club. How poorly has the club been run? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor7 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The defeat to Tranent in the play off was the start of it for me. If they went up that season, there is a chance they might have been in league two by now. Good cup run last year, but now out all the big cups this year. Will not win the league, it’s all went a bit stale for the money men involved. For the money spent in years gone by, to still be in this league is criminal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) This season is argueably Darvel's best chance at getting promoted given Talbot aren't as strong as previous seasons & the east has lost it's heavy hitters.

Writing was on the wall when the man paying the wages left the club. The cup run would allow them to have money at the bank, but ultimately the club was built up by Kennedy.

Bheaten Castard Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Getting put out the cup early doors was always going to effect the playing squad. Financially it was a disaster plus the fact the they were proved not up to it. Fergie was going to EK anyway and getting money for him was a bonus as he would have been able to sign a pre contract come January.I would expect more to follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK will obviously always deny putting any of his own cash in but it does seem strange that EK now have a significantly higher wage bill. Have EK got any additional backers this year vs last season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not confirm or deny if MK is putting money in as all you hear is rumours and I have no inside knowledge, that said with the profile being lifted since he and Si Ferry took over and the exposure that gives the club you will naturally find more sponsors willing to part with cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
