Pre season wont be till when? Some time in August? I presume the transfer window will be extended till around october. Could be a while yet before any new players appear unless we can sign some sort of agreements where players agree to sign but dont get paid till pre season starts. That's what I thought would be the best course of action. Something along the lines of a pre contract agreement that kicks in at an appropriate time to start pre season training. With the appropriate get out should the worst happen and kick off is delayed. Players I would think would get comfort from the certainty of getting fixed up early. There will be a tendency to take the offer so you can stay in the game, knowing many won't. We should get in early ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Can we get the thread onto taking about the future rather than chewing the fat of past players and their merits and shortcomings it's getting boring. Positions that must be filled for the coming season. Goalkeeper, Right back, Left back, Midfielder with a bit of pace and an engine, Midfielder come winger, Forward. We have enough experience so players in the 19-25 year old bracket with maybe the exception of the keeper. So any thoughts folks. Anybody from other clubs got any comments on who could do a turn ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you watch those higights of him on falkirk TV what a difference it made having someone who could go up and down defend and was an excellent crosser of the ball. Quite incredible how manager after manager has failed to fill the void he left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bunch of teams will follow in the next few weeks. Only a matter of time before some of our Scottish teams follow them. Their wage bill was around 176% of their turnover. Only scottish club close to that is United. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainsfordbairn Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 20 minutes ago, keithgy said: They both are on 2 year deals. They were both announced as having two year deals when they signed last summer. However, there have been rumours about the second year being dependant on promotion. Neither were listed in the "definitely staying" category in the last club update so you could speculate that M&M might choose to let them (and others) go. https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2020/06/14/club-update-2/ As far as I can see Connolly, Dixon, Durnan, Hall, Miller and Telfer aren't confirmed either way. Now that M&M are off furlough I imagine we'll start getting football news again soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Thought i seen that out of whats left would be happy to keep Connolly and Miller, we need a better defence (i know we had the best defensive record but other than dixon the rest of the defence had the potential to have a few bombscare moments) and we should be able to pick up a few bargains 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
