Dunfermline Athletic Granted Full Administration

Dunfermline Athletic have been granted full administration by the Court of Session after no objections were raised by creditors.

The Fife club were placed in voluntary administration two weeks ago and have now appeared in court in Edinburgh before Lord Malcolm.

HM Revenue and Customs are owed £134, ampoule 000 by the club and they had no objections to the administration process continuing.

Counsel Susan Ower, view for Dunfermline said: “They have identified potential cost savings and that unfortunately has included staff redundancies.”

Ower also added that the Pars had written to creditors and key suppliers, giving advice over the future trading of the business.

Ower added: “They have met with potential purchasers of the business on a number of occasions. They have obtained payment of £100,000 from potential purchasers and that is to assist with the costs of continued trading.”
