Media reports suggesting there's been a divorce at East Fife:agree:

Been on the cards for ages.

too much travelling from his home in inverness

geared up to go full time next season.
Good luck to anyone that takes over

How can a club which rarely gets a crowd of 1000 consider full time football? Disaster approaches.

Cowdenbeath have a few full time players, mainly apprentices

[Famous Fiver]

Their income will drop dramatically because their pie sales will collapse now he's away!

If I were an East Fife fan I wouldn't be sitting my wrists at this news.

Other income sources such as the conference suites at new bayview, the 3g pitches and a well structured club,different strokes for different folks.

Apprentice wages are way short of what a professional footballer will expect. Corporate hospitality and sponsorship can contribute to finances, but what's East Fife's total turnover? I'm very sceptical about their ability to support a full-time squad.

It would be great to see East Fife back to the position of prominence which they once held in Scottish football. Somehow, however, I fear it will not happen.

Agree with that 100 % a friendly club with a great tradition
Interestingly re their crowds I spoke with a visitor from Holland who was in Methil on business who had to stay over the weekend and decided to take in an E F game .
Went for a couple of drinks in the local pubs before the game to find them packed with OF supporters watching football on TV.
The gate at New Bayview that day was 724 .
How do we persuade locals to support their local team - $64000 question ? .

Could never understand this appointment.

A two hundred and eighty six mile round trip for every visit - seven hours in a car on bad roads.

His travelling expenses could have paid for a Premiership player.........,

Steve Archibald had them playing some great stuff when he was manager there, only to be sacked after falling out with the board because they wouldn't go full time.

My neighbour works for the club and from what he has been saying the wee fat one list the dressing room due to his arrogance and poor management.

Was apparantly a bit if a prick.
