He managed to get himself a mad level of exposure over that cup run by hook or by crook. It worked a treat from his perspective but from near enough the moment they beat Aberdeen he gave the impression of a man biding his time until the offers rolled in and Darvel collapsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was trying to get out well before the Aberdeen game. Was trying to manage Pollok after Murdie left around this time last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldsofdreams Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Now is the time for the club chairman to stick or twist. Running a significant deficit each week, the club is not sustainable. Crisis talks have taken place with some of the bigger earners and they have been told to take pay cut. Do Darvel get to the end of the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Culter Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 They will definitely get to the end of the season. I have no doubt about that. I did hear a rumour towards the end of last season that Gall got an ultimatum from auditors who visited Pie HQ. Along the lines of run your business properly and stop throwing money at your hobby or you won’t have a business… 15 minutes ago, fieldsofdreams said: Now is the time for the club chairman to stick or twist.

The ground has certainly been upgraded massively and if that is the only legacy then it’s decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Aside from the unfortunate spelling mistake, Darvel were making a big deal of their USB charging points in the home dressing room when Nandos rip off boy turned up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the legacy point, they’ve been the panto villains and still are too a much lesser extent, the pieman seems too have quietened down and Tony Mc just doesn’t have the the same character that Mick had. if the ground stays as football club for the community and proper committee types take it on then wish them well, however would be concerned the land gets sold for housing or a new aldi or lidl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Darvel did produce the greatest Scottish football shock of all time with the Aberdeen result and the club/Gall/MK will always have that as their legacy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
