Hartley has never lost a first league game as a manager, 4-0 at Gretna was our last opening day win?

Don Paul dishing oot the absolute wids as if they’re chips from his poke at Kings. Dennon also letting slip the return of the Yak, glistening lads x

News on that in a couple of weeks.

Farewell King Louis

Boom! Right out of nowhere #DonMarchesOn

Sibbald should be on the pizza suppers instead, maybe then he could play for one of the arse cheeks.

@ANEWHOPE u #ITK m9?

I was positive Sibbald was in the paper saying he wanted to stay, can't find anything online now. Suppose it looks like a lot has happened since then.

Tommy Robson, Jordan McGhee, Aaron Muirhead, Lewis Kidd and Kevin O’Hara all signed up http://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/five-players-sign-for-season-201819/

As I noted he's happy with the budget, but didn't clarify the discrepancy between the club statement and his side in the Herald. No, be good to get an answer on that too, also wasn't there chat of Muirhead signing a PCA with Carlisle?

Devon Mitchell? Pretty sure it was him that scored a brace against the Pars in a friendly.

The Don is sound as, seems like he would be great to have a few #cheekydrumsticks with. It was pretty much a Q&A for the whole night, was surprised at no Powerpoint skillz (#kaizen) So from the horses mouth, this is all in order of the question (canni be fucked grouping it together): Asked if Loy was still part of his plans for next season, stated that he's still under contract but has been out of the picture for a long time, so will discuss things with him over the summer. Didn't agree that we were basing our Academy decision on the Brentford model, he thought the recruitment policy had to change and try to and think out of the box. So we have someone based in England, who is covering 40 games a month. Tommy Robson contract will be extended. He alluded to Friday being the deadline (I'm not 100% on this) for new contracts for current squad. He agreed we need more physical presence. Loan players back to parent clubs, unlikely (or unfair as he put it) to expect them to return. He's looking to sign 10-12 players. In particular strengthen goalkeeper position, thinks Mutch is a great talent but is a tad young. Players coming in need to be flexible, can play a couple of positions. He's happy with the budget, he thinks it's comfortable for the Championship, any extra funds will go into the first team. Signings that are coming in have been watched over the past 4 months , they've been working hard since January, Tom Dallison has been one of those on the radar. He felt the team (Housties) needed a change/freshen up, that they probably went too far as a team. One or two experienced guys to come in, he wants players that will be hard working and committed for the football club, not to just pick up a wage. Head of recruitment has basically a list for every position in the squad, it will be a new squad. Scouting has been looking down south at all levels from Premiership under 23s to lower leagues. Looking at midfielders that can chip in with goals. Looking at roughly 6 players from down south. He wants a tighter squad, getting numbers to down to around 20 players. Captaincy will be looked at when the squad gets back together. He wants to keep Sibbald at the club, we have another year on his contract, feels his best position is playing playing behind the front two. Pretty happy with back room staff, we're joining the reserve league so he's looking at bringing in (maybe a player/manager). We will be the fittest team in league next year. Changed the fitness plan when he came in and saw the benefits towards the end of the season. Will look at Alex Harris and his position at the club over the summer, he sees his quality but has not produced at all during matches. He's found the job well tougher than he expected, he had to make changes ASAP. His worst moment(s) were the first 8 games, horrendous. Best was pumping Dundee United. The main aim get the team promoted, whether via play offs or title. Fans should be excited next season. Bairn for Life speech at the end was a bit cringe, but heart in the right place. DONE.

Electric atmosphere in BTW
