None of that justifies calling then `impostors` in my opinion. People make business decisions all the time that don`t work out for all sorts of reasons. Controlling the cost of construction work during the Covid epidemic was nearly impossible and most folk would commend sourcing outside grants to keep costs down as good business.

Football fans just seem to love a scapegoat though.


Hardly scapegoating, it`s just calling it for what it is. If the plan was always to play reserve games at the training ground, they should`ve built it with supporters in mind. Charge a few quid to get in and at least generate some sort of return on the investment.

They were more than happy to hold supporters` meetings when everything was rosy, but as soon as things got difficult they quietly stopped them. Funny how they only came back once results started improving.

The difference between Bord and the Germans is night and day. The club feels far better run, the communication is miles better, and we`re in a much healthier place both on and off the park because of them.

This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

No one`s disputing that, I just don`t understand this need to go over old ground. One thing that always worried me was that effectively the previous owners chose the new owners as it was their investment they were selling. They could gave made things difficult but it seems they made a good choice.

I think we need to look at our recent past to appreciate just how good Bord and his investment have been for the club. We were a side sleepwalking towards League One rather than realising our potential. Fast forward a year or two, and we`ve been beaten by the biggest team in Scotland in a cup final and narrowly missed out on promotion through the play offs.

That doesn`t happen by accident. Bord wasn`t afraid to spend money and back his judgement by putting faith in Lenny and his staff to get us where we need to be on the park. Off it, he`s invested in the pitch to give us the best playing surface possible. He has put his money down and we are seeing the results.

Am I right thinking his 2 years starts now and not another 2 years on top of his 1 year left? Either way I’m absolutely delighted with this news 🏁🏁

It doesn`t appear that most of the previous board are involved in football other than Meggle.

Their post-Dunfermline paths have separated:

Meggle: still actively involved in football through Golden City FC.

Keretic: independent consultancy.

Teller: investment, shipping and honorary-consular work.

Gundermann: shipping registration, investment and maritime emissions technology.
