RUL Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Rumour is they'll enter admin tomorrow, apparently he's done some kind of deal where the bank have written off the debt? Link to comment
tup Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Good news if true, but losing 10 points (or is it more now?) puts them in grave danger of relegation. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Good news if true, but losing 10 points (or is it more now?) puts them in grave danger of relegation.Unless they swoop for a manager with a keen ability to save teams in peril. Like a rotund, orange superhero. Link to comment
Huntlysheep Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Will be in admin imorn if they da hae a buyer etc by 5pm imorn's night. Link to comment
jassb Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thought the deadline was 5pm tonight? Link to comment
RUL Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 HMRC extended the deadline...not sure why. Link to comment
MichtyMeMin Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It seems Dunfermline are about to, in one of my all time favourite phrases, 'go to the wall'. Leaving a huge debt behind them of course. Now, my question is, given the zombie huns were given huge rule bending advantages to come back from their brief termination, will the same privileges be extended to these Fife minker no-marks? I won't be holding my breath for the media campaign anyway. No, Tup, you can be rest assured that there'll be no reprieve for Dunfermline. Fully expect Doncaster and Regan to bury their huge heids in the sand over this one, after all , the SFA/SPL don't "bend" rules for anyone but the "gruesome twosome". Link to comment
Crossbow Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Have applied to go into administration - apparently that or liquidation. I blame sevco. Link to comment

K-9 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Would any reds actually notice if Dunfermline ceased to exist? Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I actually feel for Dunfermline. Ok, they've overspent but along with Livingston, Falkirk, Dundee etc they were forced to build these daft sized stadiums that the powers that be forced them to build for one reason and one reason only: to fill it with bastarding huns and tims whenever they visit. Hope they survive tbh. Link to comment

Ke1t Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Admittedly a couple of years since I last saw Leishman, but Christ, I would never have recognised the guy. Classic Leishman Leishman Today Link to comment

Classic Leishman Leishman TodayAye, he'a a bit village idiot, but his heart is in the right place.If you have listened to any of his interviews about the Dunfermline situation, he sounds genuinely upset Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Away to go the wall and only 2,800 turn up last night to a local derby against Falkirk. Total disgrace from their fans imo. That is my one fear if Aberdeen ever entered administration, would our fans rally and pack out Pittodrie? I don't think they would tbh. Link to comment
Henry Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 That is fucking pish poor! Is that the total attendance? How many Falkirk fans? Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 the fans once again lose out due to mismanagement from the board Link to comment
Dynamo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's funny seeing what the huns are saying regarding this. They have completely failed to differentiate between administration and liquidation despite going through both less than a year ago. Silly silly huns. Link to comment
tup Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm certain the huns will be looking to take advantage of any forced demotion of this club. I'm almost equally certain that they will be involved somehow in running them into the ground, to foment my point above. Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Correct. Dunfermline are going bust 'cause the BARES wer' made tae play in Division 3 so they wer'. Baffling logic from the huns as always. Link to comment

tommo1903 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Paul Gallacher isn't that good. Only good game I remember him having was the Friday night game last season when we put 4 past him, could have been 7 or 8 that night. Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 He's no better than Langfield.Agreed. Having played these last few years for Dunfermline is testimony to that Link to comment

Having played these last few years for Dunfermline is testimony to thatI'm not sure Dunfermline have any players that would interest us.Jordan McMillan is a decent player, but right back is not a priority as Shaughnessy & Jack cover that well.Cardle also gets a mention - I'd hope Derek McInnes is looking at better players than that.The two of them would get a game at a few SPL clubs though. Slightly off at a tangent, but noticed Murray Davidson of St Johnstone has been linked...he'd be a decent signing as replacement for one of the departing centre mids.Think he'll end up at the Bastard Garden though, or someone in League One such as MK Dons or whoever.

Karl Fletcher Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Davidson has said he doesn't want to go to Sevco. Apparently. Link to comment
