23. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Mon 17th Feb 2025. 17:08 Statement from Andy Barrowman Following the club`s announcement of my departure from Raith Rovers I feel it is important to provide some clarity. On Thursday February 13th, I was informed that my employment with the club had been terminated with immediate effect due to the role of Chief Executive being made redundant. To say the news came as a surprise is an understatement. While I obviously don`t agree with the decision, I respect the club`s wishes and remain incredibly proud of the progress we made during my time at the club. I also want to express my appreciation to everyone who has contacted me over the past few days: your support has been truly overwhelming and has helped me to process the unexpected announcement by the club. It has been a privilege to work with the dedicated staff, players, volunteers and supporters who make Raith Rovers such a special club, and I wish them every success in the future. ![]() Reply |

26. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Mon 17th Feb 2025. 19:07 I remember listening to the audio of his speech at the fan involvement night explaining why they sacked Murray. He didn’t come out of it with any credit to him personally or the board. Arrogance was the word in my mind and above his station. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte ![]() Reply |

28. Author: Alter Ego Date: Mon 17th Feb 2025. 21:15 Imo there is a lot more to his sacking just like Ian Murray’s that no one will ever hear about. But I think Raith have spent £££ on trying to gain promotion in the past 2 years and it’s starting to backfire now and we will see in the next few months. Mon the Pars! Reply |

30. Author: parsmad68 Date: Tue 18th Feb 2025. 05:59 Making someone redundant is always painful , but normally this is due to future monetary adjustment I.e. could be the loss of a potential sponsor in the future that necessitates this move. Normally prudent financial management. If that is the case then there are likely to be other casualties unfortunately as one role doesn’t make a business. Personally I didn’t care for the social media posts much but they were enjoying success so we had to suck it up. It would be nice for us to get out of this mess and then enjoy the status of a Championship with the Rovers and Falkirk in it again. Reply |
