Iain Diack transfer Listed

[Admin™]

One of the best Shire players want to be released from the club.

Iain Diack, Shire's top scorer this season, has been placed on the transfer list. The player asked the club to release him from his contract following this week's sacking of manager Dennis Newall, to whom Diack was known to be close. The club immediately refused his request but has instead put him open to offers from other clubs. He was dropped from the squad for the 2-1 home defeat against East Fife, with Steven Dymock taking his place.
Diack has scored ten times for Shire in all competitions this season. He scored twice in each of the two league games the team has won, ironically, against two of his former clubs, Arbroath and Albion Rovers.
"We won't keep players who are unhappy at being here," said Shire's Chief Executive, Les Thomson. "But we won't let them leave for nothing either." Diack joined Shire in the summer after being released by Arbroath.
One player who has left the club is Johnny Walker. It is understood he walked out on Shire after a disageement with Dennis Newall before the manager was dismissed on Wednesday.

I think the Shire board may get more then J6000 for this player, but if Alan J. Mackin invest that J6000 in the club will be great for East Stirlingshire.

If we get £6000.00 for Diack this will be a miracle although he is probably worth that. All credit to Dennis for persuading him to play for The Shire he will be missed. Welli see Pie & Bovril all Arbroath,Stenny and Albion Rovers fans hate him! He was a perfect professional with us and even if he took the huff after Dennis being sacked he did his best for the Shire.If he had played on Saturday he would definitely have scored!

He's the best striker we've had at Firs Park for a long time & I'm sure he will be sorely missed. I hope we can hang on to some of Dennis's other signings - Steven Dymock has been promising in the few games he has played this season.

I guess it's always going to be difficult to hold onto anyone who catches the attention of other clubs. People make out that these are "the worst footballers in the country" but they're not. They're obviously more talented than 99% of the football playing population and they want to play to as high a standard as pos. I think it says a lot about the club and the players that so many of them stick around.

I agree!
But I still think J6000 sounds very funny for player like him

Mm dangerous thing to say. Seems like Ally Graham might be away.
