There's been specualtion about contract extensions since the summer. Remember how long the Black saga dragged on :006: Only yesterday I saw Dargo quoted as saying he wasn't currently in talks with the club over a new contract and that the club weren't putting any pressure on him to sign. Could be a case the advanced talks are with players with, the greatest respect, aren't prime targets for other clubs eg Barry Wilson. Of the 'Big' 3 - I suspect Dods will leave in the summer, Brown probably will and Dargo might

ALLRIGHTERrrrrrrrr :015:

Well Deserved :025: :025: :025: Keep up the good work :021:

Livingston wanted to loan him at the start of the season but there is nothing in the rules that allows us to recall him if Brown were to get injured so a loan move is very unlikely

Ultimately Fraser fate is going to be decided by what Brown does. If Mark signs a new contract I can see Micheal leaving which would be a real shame but perfectly understandable. I have a sneaking suspicion that Brown will leave us though. Quite a few SPL clubs need a decent keeper - Falkirk, Hibs & Dundee Utd to name but 3. I would imagine they would all be able to offer a higher wage than we can :006:

The Daily Record reports that ex-Pars striker Craig Brewster, who left Dundee United on Sunday, has been offered the head coach role at former club, Ionikos in Greece. "Ionikos have made me an offer and obviously it's one which I have to look at closely," Brewster said. "I have a lot to think about and they've told me they want an answer by Thursday at the latest."

Wyness & Hart may come into the reckoning for the game depending how they do in the reserve match Apparently picking Duncan was a tactical decision because of the way St Mirren play

As its manager of the MONTH surely only the games played in October that would count :014:

Just heard Brew has been offered the head coaches job at Ionikos :010: Hope that doesn't mean more transfer speculation for us in January :008:

I always get in wrong when I try and guestimate our potential points total Tough run of fixtures though Anything more than 3 points would be a bonus

I'm sure his contract is up at the end of the season :006:

Glad to hear it. Another Chick Young 'exclusive' :014:

Was Peter Davidson not the fitness coach??

Are you going to retract your e-mail A96 after all Aberdeen are ahead of us in the league now :006:

Wonder if we could persuade Iain Stewart to do a bit of coaching for us

I'm sure the Hearts fans won't giving the guy dogs abuse throughout the match :006: Of course he shouldn't have responded/retaliated but it smacks of double standards

Dods will be gone by the summer if not sooner. I wonder if the club would be tempted to sell him come January if they got a decent offer for him?

Nae chance - Dunfermline have zero cash - luckily for us

From BBC website...... "Park is thought to wish a return to the East of Scotland for family reasons, although he has previously suggested that he has no desire to become a manager."

I think Brew got what he deserved. He knew the DU was a poisoned chalice but he thought he was good enough to turn things around. Obviously he wasn't he didn't even last a year :006: No one will ever know what he might have achieved if he'd stayed here but in many ways now I'm glad he left. We even got paid for the priveldge of him leaving :015: His main influence was to get the squad fitter, sign Dargo and he was still a decent player for us as well. His tactical/managerial skills however are questionable at best. I remember towards the end of his reign we were asking why he made pointless changes a couple of minutes before the end and why our main tactic was always to punt the ball up to him. I really don't understand why Dunfermline would even consider appointing him as there manager, I really don't. I think a few years of learning the management trade at a lower level is really what he needs if he wants to pursue a career in management. Even more astounding is why Levein would take the DU job!! I always thought he was a reasonably intelligent guy but it doesn't looks like now. Talk about taking on a challenge. I suppose these guys have to be confident in there own abilities to turn things around but even still......

Can I change my vote to Brewster?? :015: :015: :015:

Will be interesting to see where he does end up now he has confirmed his departure at the end of the season, if not sooner!!

:015:

BREW HAS LEFT THE BUILDING :015:

Chick Young is saying DP is wanted by Dunfermline :018: Perhaps should have put in rumour section?
