Parlane

The walls are closing on round about them, they're lies are now catching up with them. The great saviour has not put one penny in and to save face has blackened the name of those before him. Everything they state that was the problem was pointed out to them. We're all waiting to hear who is owed what in this tens of thousands. What I can't understand is what's wrong with just putting your hands up and saying we made a mistake. The club needs more money to operate than what we understood. What's wrong with that?

There was a tax bill of less than £6k. This was explained to Mr Bruce and Mr Fox And was written clearly into the club accounts, along with £600 utilitity bills. Mr Bruce along with old regime took the reading from the meters. He now realised previous sponsors don't want anything to do with the club with him at the helm. Sad days I know but Mr Bruce solely sunk the Ballingry ship.

Heh maybe doormatt knows something??? Like can you tell us Brucie how much money you got for selling the 2 lawn mowers? Where has this money gone? I always thought that when a lottery grant is given to purchase something like a NEW MOWER, and a club folds the mower then belongs to the community. I didn't know it then becomes the property of a fake sheik. Learn something everyday. Don't expect any answers on here from the Fake Sheik.

Hopefully this is my last post on this. Just late this afternoon I spoke with a source within the club. He is totally pissed off and embarrassed on how this has developed. The unbelievable hard facts of all this is. Ballingry Rovers over the space of a season have running costs of tens of thousands of pounds, same as any super league team. This is what the fake sheik is classing as debt. His intentions were to do a Michael Knighton bringing in sponsors to pay the way while he would be chairman. Disaster struck when previous sponsors wouldn't make the same kind of donation to the club. The source made it clear Ballingry Rovers had very little debt but had high running costs that were covered by the previous committee. None of the creditors has closed the club, the fake sheik was simply out of his depth. Still a sad time but I had to agree with source same as what's been said on here. Why didn't they offer the reins to some others? The club could have still been viable. Sell players and other assets, bring in amateurs and let the club find its level.

Mav your 100% correct. Ballingry closed with debts amounting to less than £10k. I've been reliably informed Mr Bruce has refused to meet with past regime to see these debts of tens of thousands of pounds. And you will also see he has failed to answer my questions but I will give have another chance. Here goes. Mr Fake Sheik Bruce since your plastic take over how much of your personal money have you put into Ballingry? Q2. Where has the near £15k of transfer money Ballingry received this season gone?

here's the facts and not the rubbish you've heard from some trying to cover there own tracks. Ballingry Rovers had a tax bill of less than £6k. They were due £600 to electricity. All this was in the books for all to see. They had a dispute with Cowdenbeath after agreeing a fee of £600 for a player Cowden then wanted to put VAT on the fee. Does all this come to tens of thousands of pounds Mr Bruce wants people to say? None of these creditors closed or put pressure on to close the club, this decision was made within. The previous regime showed clubs accounts and pointed out all pit holes. This was met by the reply I have money coming out my ears I can put in a £100k!!! That is fact. Here's a question to you Mr Bruce. How much personnel money did you put into Ballingry since your weak takeover? In all there was less than £8k of debts why wasn't the near £15k of transfer fees that have come in used to pay these debts? Where did this £15k go? Plastic takeover by a fake sheik.

I don't know what is going. I've only put up on here what is common knowledge within pubs of the Benarty area. All of which is being said by people close to the club. What I was told from a very good source from within the club is you Mr Bruce have failed to deliver on all said promises. You told people you would be bringing in many business people that would be injecting money into the club. Not one businessman including yourself has put one penny into the club hence why Mr Fox had to put money in to prop the club up. The same person has told me you have asset stripped the club selling players at vast amounts of money. They said there has been numerous valuable items that have disappeared. They say it seems you are stripping as much as you can running the club into the ground and hell bent on putting the blame on previous regime.

Heard today that they are deep in financial trouble and not expected to see out the remainder of this year. Seemingly Mr Fox is the only one that has put money into the club, if Mr Fox hadn't the doors would already be closed. The club has been living of recent good gates. Seems the story of local businessmen going to put money in was only fiction dreamt up to gain power. Shame.

I have been contacted and replied to the said manager. Both us are now finished on this matter.

I think it would be fully understandable if he's upset the previous chairman but I can't speak for him. And I'm sure he's more than able to speak for himself. I'm speaking as a committee member of another club that Ballingry's manager took it upon himself to represent in a national newspaper. His opinion is not the opinion of my club or committee neither is it the opinion of other local clubs that I've spoken with. So why did he tell these lies? He tried to cover up his own personal opinion as the opinion of Fife junior football. Which is totally out of order.

Having read the article in yesterday's sun newspaper from Ballingry Rovers manager Lee Dair. Lee states that "To be honest the clubs name was mud in the Fife junior league". I've asked a few players and committee from other clubs what it was Ballingry have done. No one had a clue to what this article related to. Vice chair of one club told me the article is a complete disgrace and shows total disrespect to other clubs as not one club shares this view. I spoke to 2 loyal ballingry fans and neither believed me when I told them. One even stated if true he won't be back at Ore park. Can anymore shine some light on what they're manager is referring to. I used to be at most ballingry games home and away but when a family member stopped playing for them I didn't bother going back. At that time the club was held in high regard by most of the juniors not only in Fife but probably all over the Country. There must have been something very bad happened in this short time for the clubs name to be mud.

Stevie K. I was speaking with a certain person who tells me Mr Mackie has handed over nothing to anyone!! So wherever your information has come from it's false. What they said is Mackie is looking to hand over but so far no one has come forward.

Heard from a very reliable source (jimmy fox). That former committee man Ian Bruce will be heading a consortium to gain control of the club. Mr Fox says they have massive plans and very exciting times lay ahead for the Rovers under the new regime. Can anyone else confirm if this is the case?

Maybe so but he is totally embarrassing. I would love to come on here and debate about my club but won't through idiots like him.
