the saline hill puma Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 It will all go the same way as Gretna at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beer Baron Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I wonder what the owners see as their end game? Simply to reach League Two and then hope for some big cup matches to sustain them? Or higher up in proper Gretna fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 They want to get up through the leagues. Dont think Barry Ferguson will get them very far though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to be an SPFL club, apparently Ferguson has been well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beer Baron Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 He was a huge flop at Clyde who now won promotion. Looks like they're gambling not only on winning the league but winning both play offs next season. We could well see Cowdenbeath v Kelty in the final, that would be an absolutely brilliant spectacle.

Don't think there is much chance of that. They're backed by Dean Mackenzie from Conservatory Converters who is a Kelty guy through and through. He's been involved with both Kelty Hearts and Kelty Sunday and Amatuer teams for years. My only explanation of how they are paying for these guys is that he is employing them and paying them that way. There is no way Kelty's income could sustain the wages they are reputedly paying these players, their wage bill has been in six figures for several years. £500pw for Nathan Austin apparently, and Barry Ferguson is on £40k a year! It has to be through Conservatory Converters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifes Elite Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Followed Kelty since I was wee and its been an interesting journey for them since then. I kinda know Dean but know his father a bit better and he is a Kelty man through and through in fairness. In saying that it has all the hallmarks of ending in tears or something dodgy going on from the outside. Hopefully not obviously. Looking at the accounts at companies house for CC they do have pretty sizeable cash in the bank. In addition I know they have done the cash plus apprenticeship type offer to players (Hubby being the obvious one). They are spending on infrastructure too, with grand plans for more stands/facilities so its not just the playing squad they are spending money in £100ish a season ticket doesn't sound bad tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
