Ally Mitchell is virtually certain to sign for us and Dave Baikie is in talks with Paul Tosh,who is holding out for the Manager`s job at Forfar.If he doesn`t get it,it looks like he will be at New Bayview.

Surely Jim Moffat will get the Forfar job???

Where is Tosh justnow?

He is still at Forfar. From what I have heard,Willie Gray is prepared to spend serious cash to bring quality players to East Fife.

Could he spend some serious cash to get rid of Deek too?

Tam, good to see you still "have yer finger on the pulse"!!
2 very good signings in my opinion, might go as far and put 10 shekels each way to win the league!

With all thse ''young bloods'' coming into the fold I cant wait to purchase my season ticket at a very reasonable £180 (or os I've heard), looks like we're play off bound.

Ally mitchell was given a shot a few years back for a return and knocked it back if willie is opening purse strings would not want to line ally mitchells nest at 37 y old

How can we afford players like Tosh, I remember a thread on here a couple of seasons ago saying he was the highest paid player in the second division at that time, something like £280-300 a week. As DB keeps saying the budget for players comes from gate money, gate money has gone down, but all of a sudden were being quoted as being intrested in players like Tosh. Does this mean theres more money for the squad, remember we will need more than one player.

I am sure that Willie Gray said at the last 'meet the chairman' forum that he will put a good team on the park. I wonder if perhaps he is funding it.

Oops sorry, I meant 'meet the board' forum.

One of the many reasons for the club's refusal to sell shares to the Trust was the completely fabricated story that the the revenue must be used for player's swages. The club insisted that wages would come from gate receipts and no additional cash could be used as the wage bill would be artificially inflated and that inflated figure could not be guaranteed or maintained in future seasons.
It will be interesting to see if that policy is
followed in view of steadily falling gate receipts.

At the end of the day,D`ick Brown is a lying devious little b@stard who will take 100% credit for any money being used for players.
Did anyone else hear about the alleged envelope scam at Smith & Grant where a certain employee had a deal with a stationery firm,where he would get a % of any envelopes sold.Some time later there was 1000`s of unused envelopes found "hidden" in the Office.

Tosh named as Assistant Manager to George Shaw today.
