Still confident we will get players in. Rather wait for quality than go down the Holt route and sign any old Shite to pad out the numbers

We’ll be looking at a fifth season in league 1 this time next year then.

So if we signed one permanent signing and 4 quality loans we would not go up. How do you know that when you have no idea what quality maybe in those 5 players?

Not happening. The budget is almost gone. Perhaps one at most signing, rest loans. This has been said publicly several times now. The club has no extra money unless we raise it or we do well in the League Cup. 

Aye because loans don’t cost anything…

I don't understand the logic of saying we shouldn't sign a good player because he used to play for us and the existing squad has bad players in it?

Sibbald is a no brainer if he's willing to sign for us. He's been a really good player in a top flight team for years and is the sort who can win you matches. A midfield three of McGinn keeping things ticking over, a younger player going box to box and Sibbald pulling the strings is mouth watering.

Not quite on the same level but this reminds me of moon howlers on here turning their nose up at Kingsley when we were linked with him. Over-thinking things massively.

Won't matter anyway as Sibbs will get a better move than us and will be a standout in the league above.

My mate was talking to Sibbs (and got him to sign something for his wee boy) in Behind The Wall the night of the Europa League Final. He asked if there was any chance of him coming back to Falkirk but Sibbs said he wants to try and get another Premier league team. So unless there’s absolutely zero better offers from elsewhere it seems pretty unlikely.

Some of the worst managers to ever grace our club have brought in Declan McManus, Anton Dowds and Jaze Kabia in the last 2/3 years. 

John Mcglynn is not going to rely on our current options. 

If we get to the end of August it’s panic stations and forget everything I’ve posted in the last 2 months.

St Johnstone a stick on.

Surely that’s the case and you are spot on. My preference would have been to have players in, in time to make and impact in the league cup and push for more prize money and also to give the squad time to gel however the reality is that’s very, very difficult to do.

McGlynn’s not a mug though and he’ll realise what he has at his disposal won’t get him near promotion and will be working on deals right up until we kick off vs Montrose.

Sadly I haven't but it's clear that Hugh Clarke must have a more plausible ruse on-the-go than Campbell did as the latter never managed to complete on any of his marks whereas Clarke Epos have fooled folk at every tier of the Scottish sport.

Daily record today and more to follow this is just the tip of the ice berg !

Boy that owns the rocks says he appeared from nowhere and the next thing he's sponsoring all these big clubs. The appeared from nowhere surely should've had alarm bells ringing .🤷

I got sucked in 2 years ago . Leased my business to him he ruined it paid absolute no utilities behind in rent northwards of 40k and he went on Facebook under false accounts and tried to say I was a peado . That’s not even the half of it . I’ve now managed to get my property back in some state and get on with it but I’ve also found dozens of people and businesses owed thousands and also been subjected to his vile threats and abuse . Watch the record I’m sure the people of these communities will have their voice . Now the police are chasing their tails trying to get ahead of this due to the fact that numerous people have been down and tried to get help from them , and their response to these victims was “ oh we can’t help “ it’s a absolute joke !

At least he's  moved out of the chip shop to a real office. Maybe he's  going legit.

Really disappointed with the squad at this stage. I thought there'd be far more ins and outs.

Feel for McGlynn really. Hope the Rennie nonsense last window hasn't fucked it for him in the summer.

Still plenty of time to get it right in the next few weeks but there's a shitload of wheeling and dealing needed.

We're miles away from where we need to be to win this league, which is quite deflating.

We’re not the only ones though both Dunfermline and Airdire are miles short, Montrose squad at the moment is weaker than last season and Kelty have not strengthened yet either.

Probably fair.. I havent really looked at the other challengers. 

McGlynn should be worth 10 points a season at this level. That always gives hope.

I'd be surprised if we don't see another 2 or 3 before end August though. Surely that's a given.

Sorry to hear of your issues with guy. Them running Falkirk at the time must have known things weren’t right and payments weren’t coming in by the time we had to rush out the 3rd White Strip, and we still plastered his company name on that too. Crazy to have allowed this to happen, surely the agreement/ contract would have had terms and conditions regards failing to meet payment terms. The more you hear the previous board sound like dumb and dumber.

There isn't one single squad in our division near the finished article. Plenty comings and goings are still to happen.
