McManus is a proven league 1 goalscorer and I’d be all for him coming back. He’d be the same player who left us. It was widely reported before joining about Alston’s injury problems whereas Loy I feel we were just unlucky with his circumstances. If he hadn’t got injured on the first league game it may have been different? Edited May 31, 2021 by Peter LaFleur 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather see him in the middle than Hall if he is the other option I'd like to see a new centrehalf partnership. Dixon is 34 and is just coming back off a bad injury. I wouldn't want to be putting all my money on him lasting a full 36 game season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 McManus guarantees you 25 goals at this level. I'd take him back in a minute. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Is that it for today then? 1 measly contract extension? 61 days to the start of the new season. It took 61 days to administer the first hundred million Covid vaccinations worldwide. It took 5 days to administer the next hundred million. Supporting Falkirk feels like an illness just now - is there a vaccination available? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe had to wait on the manager coming in first though to give him final decision.

Guest Ecosse83 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Don’t a lot of players contracts expire today? Maybe need to wait until then to put pen to paper on deals with us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope the Q and A can be done publicly and not over zoom. If it does need to happen virtually an independent journalist type person needs to be brought in to chair it and collect/deliver the questions similar to how the last AGM was handled. One of the Rawlins should be present as well, time we saw some action or meaningful investment from this guy!

Yeh, definitely shouldn’t allow them to stage manage it in any way possible. Need to be willing to be asked the tough questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t they starting early in preparation for the winter World Cup in 2022? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. As someone said earlier, there’s no way BainsfordBairn was in today just to take Paul Dixon’s photo. I expect a few announcements tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We seem to have had folk on pre contracts for a while and yet not announced anything which is strange considering the fans need a huge lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been there permanently for a year wouldn’t be much in compensation and he definitely has a higher ceiling than league 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
