With the squad now had a make over in the window now closed for summer. The forum is about proposed bids to Rankin and his relatives with the next court date is due this month on his latest news to give up his interested in us or livi or livi could face a heavy penalty come April when it's announced. At the club we aren't further forward we are putting money to raise a bid to buy shares will it work I don't know what will happen when it's successful? Do we have plans? will stevenson get the job from interim to chairman? What if Rankin becomes chairman of EFFC he already tryed and fall out with the livi board/Nixon so could east fife be a easy target with having Twigg and young twigg by his side from the age of 13 she had shares in a club that seemed to had more money as 13 year old than I did when I was that age earning pocket money from my family for washing the dishes and they won't be seen at the ground to show face who they actually are. In all fairness are they some charity worker Rankine described to have no sense in sport but have bussiness side that won their favour who in the right mind from the start to those years accepted shares of a wee girl to put her money and gain shares no club would let that happen and did she even know what football is or does she not get out much and saved her money in the piggy bank to have shares at a club like east fife. Did Rankin let the twigg's handle his shares and were the reasons he fleed off to join Livingston as columbine and gray came into the club at that time will tell? But what's the way forward and what's the club plans next season in regards of permit chairman of the club? Will tesco buy the land on power station site? Will the bid for shares be accepted after a number of years we suffered as a club to get what we wanted for so long only time will tell?
What will our players budget be in the summer and can the club survive in the football leauge to have any chance to make a bid for leauge one next season?
Could next season be the turning point, fresh approach once this hoo-doo is over?

Tune in next week when Magnum PI joins the cast.

F.... Me net junkie. That was really hard work trying to understand your post!!!!!!

Bayview Stadium - Home of East Fife F.CSNS Group

East Fife have strongly refuted suggestions the club is facing a financial crisis – and said continued speculation could hurt their attempt to install a plastic pitch at Bayview.

Courier Sport revealed last month how the Methil club recently reported an annual loss of £142,174 for 2013/14, up from £41,030 in the middle of 2013, and that the club are considering the sale of land around the stadium to help ease the situation.

But the Methil outfit hit back yesterday, once again stressing that an action plan is in place to help balance the books and progress the club on and off the pitch.

A statement on the club’s website yesterday stressed that, since changes were made at board level last year, East Fife have “sufficient funds” for their needs – and expressed disappointment that speculation to the contrary may have affected plans to bring a community pitch to Bayview.

Fife Council is understood to be looking at a number of sites where money could be made available to facilitate the creation of a community-use 3G pitch, and Bayview is one of those locations being examined.

And speaking to Courier Sport yesterday, director John Barclay stated that the club are ready, willing and able to accommodate such a development.

“There are rumours going around that East Fife are in trouble and that’s simply not the case,” he maintained.

“We can’t keep going around to people and saying ‘here’s our bank statement’ but we’ve covered ourselves for the rest of the season and we’ve got an action plan moving forward.

“It has been a hard job picking up following the board changes but we’ve had to recover from that and we are recovering from that.

“So as a community club it’s important to let people know that East Fife are not in trouble.

“Obviously we’ve got to find the finance to pay bills like any club, but that’s exactly what’s been happening, so I’d be very disappointed if the reason this pitch didn’t come to Bayview is because of suggestions the club are in trouble.

“We take a great deal of pride in our football and in our pitch, and sometimes the quality of it can backfire against us because other teams love to play on our surface.

“But at the end of this season, we could have the grass pitch lifted and replaced with a plastic pitch in time for the start of next season and it could be used every week.”

A meeting is due to take place in the coming days between the club’s four directors and members of the East Fife Supporters Society (EFSS) over the best way to take the club forward, with both parties apparently pushing forward with separate bids to secure the majority shareholding.

In the meantime, the directors’ bid – led by interim chairman Jim Stevenson – remains the only option in the pipeline and, despite the EFSS calling on them to withdraw that offer in favour of a joint bid with them, that is the only one progressing at the moment.

Seems clear to me!!

I find it incredible that Fife Council would take funding decisions based on 'speculation'.

I expect they'd need bank statements, audited accounts, and cashflow forecasts, and the decision would be taken by their finance professionals.

Trade creditors, on the other hand, don't like hearing such rumours.

Fife council has always had it in for East Fife,no matter what we try to do.Prob the reason were stuck down the dock area ,in a soulless stadium.
