Just thought I would like to explain that I have had a very thoughtful telephone call from the Chairman this evening explaining that a letter was sent to Scott at the address held on file for him, re his position at the club. Scott has changed his address in the past six weeks and the letter has not been passed on to him from his old address. This clears up any misunderstanding that may have been taken.
We as a family have enjoyed the two years association with East Fife FC and have found everyone friendly and supportive at all times. It is unfortunate that to seek the chance of a first team position, Scott has to leave the club. But as they say - never say never, he and we could be back at some time.
Best wishes to you all for next season.

To many protesters jumping in with their muckle feet. I hope they are big enough to apologise for their comments. And no this is not DB or any connection.

"ah dinnae read the forum"

Aye right Derrick. Must have taken time out from answering calls from 100 women.

Anyway, glad to hear it was cleared up.

regardless if a letter was sent or not, isn't this something that should have been said to scott face to face? just i would ave thought he would have been told and THEN a letter to confirm.


anyway good luck Scott

I will apologise to Derrick when he admits that he is not a fit and proper person to be in charge of a football club and does the decent thing.

IMO, there is nothing for the fans to apologise for, they were commenting on a post that was put up by Scotts family, not shit stirring. However, this was still dealt with in a shabby manner.

We could post whatever we want on here anyway coz Brown doesn't read forums.

What a great way to the break the news that the club (East Fife) does not want you any longer(a letter)

Same old crap Derek man or a mouse?

Igor dosent seem to think DB ignores this forum.

should have been told to his face of any intension to release, scared???? not man enough????

normal proceedure with any contract I believe

Can Derek confirm that he sent a letter “only” to Scott to confirm the clubs interest when he joined East FIFE?? I THINK NOT!

Which DB do you think is responsible for telling players? Brown or Baikie?

Its down to the manager who he wants to keep. Like any new manager they tend to get rid of the previous managers signings to make way for their own. The chairman usually get involved where money is the issue, thats why WG was appointed to the board.

I think it is crap to treat employees by giving them a letter it happens all to often in todays world the club have been poor since db took charge and the records at the club should be kept up to date,no excuse for not knowing a employees address,what would have happenend if he was given another contract and it was sent to his old address scott would not know, so BROWN stop trying make excuses just F-----G go AND GIVES US PIECE TO WATCH OUR CLUB NOT YOURS

By the way GOOD LUCKY SCOTTY as long it not against us

I think you'll find that it's the employees responsibility to notify their employer of a change of address.

From the timing of the article in the Courier I'd suggest that Scott knew he wasn't going to have his contract renewed. What the club failed to do was notify his mum, shame on you DB

Zak are you suggesting when you say that DB should give us 'piece'are you suggesting that they give us sandwiches?

If you have nothing nice to say just keep quite. You are getting as bad as that Eugene bloke for picking on people's spelling mistakes.

Maybe it should be Walter Pidgin.
