Eddie is an excellent choice as chairman as he is dedicated to the club and knows the challenges of running the Rovers from 2 lengthy spells on the board. He has been part of a board that have steadied the financial ship and who have a plan to lower the debt burden on the club which will gradually lead to more investment in the playing budget and stadium maintenance.

It's a difficult one as the big business men who have came in have frequently left us in financial trouble rather than moved us forward.

It's a difficult one as the big business men who have came in have frequently left us in financial trouble rather than moved us forward. Would be good to see the facts on the revenue generated from Darren and Brians teams to that of brogans and now Harper. It, as you say, is a difficult one, the loan was x the cash generated from Celtic match, betfred and scottsh cup games over the last two seasons would not have been achieved without a competitive team. It's easy for the existing board to say they were left with debt, but they also were provided with revenue? The overdraft has been getting reduced year on year, austerity was imposed by the bank and previous directors operated in different financial market conditions where Banks were more flexible. But without the opportunity to gain revenue through fielding a competitive team, what is the answer or are we resigned to the lowland league? If you can't reduce costs anymore and fail to increase revenue it's close to the end, who ever you want to blame is irrelevant and I am not sure why the existing board keep trying to justify their austerity measures. The bank imposed this situation and you can't spend money you don't have, what gives is your playing budget and your opportunity to increase revenue though being competitive unless you have a really experience and shrewd manager! What other clubs such as Edinburgh city have provided is other revenue streams to support investment in the team. The Rovers business model requires modernisation over a period of time, staying in the SPFL supports this, relagation will be a big financial issue. Time will tell.
