KENNY McDOWALL fears Lewis Macleod’s departure could trigger exodus

The players listed above are unlikely to go anywhere until the summer. I would believe all are getting better deals than available elsewhere. I would be surprised to learn that anybody wants to sign these players during an existing contract.

 

You can relax.

 

Guys like Miller, Boyd and Daly will be in demand, for any low to mid-ranking SPFL side they could make the difference between staying up or going down. If they offered to take them on half their current salary and we paid the other half I can't see us turning that down. Likewise Black and Moshni will find clubs without difficulty, they'd get what we're paying them in the third tier in England. We didn't recall all those boys out on loan because we want to bolster the reserve side.

It seems clear that every first team player who has only six months left on their contract will be told to find another club this month, every other player is available for transfer and those left at the end of the month will make up the first team squad. That's our current strategy, whilst some seem to welcome this madness I for one would rather we got promoted and that the best way of doing that is by getting the best out of our better players, not freeing them and playing the reserves or those no other club wants. On top of that they'll be managed by someone who himself doesn't think he can do the job far less want it, his assistant was warned not manage East Fife for health reasons and they are being assisted by a player who has never coached before.

 

Curious recipe for success.

 

They're pursuing a different recipe.

Having a manager who seems like an ill fit in the job could certainly trigger an exodus.

 

If the management position isn't addressed, the football side of the club could descend into chaos.

 

I thought it already had!
