PedroMoutinho Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 54 minutes ago, FFC 1876 said: Would be great to get a few loans in but we also have a current squad of 21 senior players and given we're fan owned banking any extra season ticket money would probably be wise to ensure we keep ourselves above the water. Don’t think we should be going crazy with budgets but equally I do think it’s worth trying to finish as high up the table as possible from a financial perspective. There’s quite a big difference in prize money between 4th and 8th. We also want to try and keep the positive momentum around the place and get as many of the new ST holders back as possible next season (looks like Dunfermline have lost quite a few following their not great finish last season). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of loans and that's it CB & CF. Got a feeling Arfield as a mid season signing to end his career where it all started Just stop, please, no more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is I think it’s financially worth pushing the boat out a bit for 1 or 2 extra players that could be the difference between 4th and 8th. What part do you disagree with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These pics were taken a while back but weren't released because (I think) the shop hadn't received all the stock in the sizes they needed. The Falkirk Herald will be there tomorrow and FFC have published training pics from today so it's not a secret any more. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a key part in your statement, "could be". I have no idea what our budget is or how much of it has been spent. The point I’m making is that while it would be understandable to ‘bank’ any ST revenue higher than budgeted, there are financial advantages of investing it in the squad in order to try and ensure a higher league finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every spare penny will go towards the playing budget as has been the case the last couple of seasons I’d imagine. This BOD don’t need to be told how to speculate to accumulate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Tam Lang's took McGinn's vacated 4 and Adams or Finn take the 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and Busquets Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 In one of the training pictures there’s a guy with no training kit on and I don’t recognise him. Wonder if he’s a trialist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn appears to get his business done early enough that he doesn't need to gamble on trialists.
