This assessment is not merely a swipe at EFFC, but at Scottish Fitba FC in its entirety ...... Simple economics dictate that the populous simply can't sustain the number of perceived Senior Clubs extrapolated throughout the central belt. With that in mind, how and what are the long term intentions of the current board ? Who makes money in pro football ? Large scale multinationals regularly lose millions during a fiscal year even at Premiership Levels, so who really gains. Why would any self respecting entrepenuer listfully gamble finances in clubs that simply are not fiscally sustainable... EFFC are the perfect case in point, a club with limited scope, resources, support and a proven track record of poor evaluation of assets and realisations. ( new regime included).

It is noted via the murk and dire clouds of the the SFA that local football (professional) will ultimately transition to regional football ,the newly created Forth Valley Academy is simply the tip of the iceberg.

In short too many small minded clubs supporting too many small egos...... EFFC are on the verge of making some serious financial mistakes which underline the concerns of suits within the SFA, take stock (supporters) enjoy your football and don't pressurise the owners, fiscal puppets etc to over commit or you may lose forever what you have.

Finally a club like EFFC should have embedded structures to provide a pathway for local youth and talent, unfortunately the youth structure replicates many others and is supported by enthusiastic individuals who are unable to identify and develop ability.

Scottish football needs some serious honesty pills....

Some good points, but we choose not to go to the moon because it is easy but because it is hard.

C'mon Buzz,we watched it on TV together so it must have bean real.

Loved the "In short" part of that
