My only concern so far is that we’re handing our 2 year contracts to the likes of Durban and Buchanan. Excellent signings for league one but not really what we’ll need for a premiership promotion push next year.

One step at a time, fuckin hell.

If he gets in other players all around league 1 level on smaller contracts then this lot can still form the basis of a team that you add better quality to next year, if we go up. If you assume you need a squad of 22ish players then it makes sense to start with mid level championship lads on 2 year deals and add league 1 players around them on 1 year deals. Then the next year you swap them out for upper level championship/lower level premiership players around the mid level lads at zero cost. If Durnan and Buchanan look good together it's not a problem, if they look dodgy you can add someone more solid in next year and bench them as cover. Same for McShane, Maclean etc. I'm still more concerned about this right back situation to be honest. Not whether he gets someone in, more how we can afford the carnival through the streets of Falkirk when one is finally announced after 5 seasons of watching CBs attempt to run, cross and not put the ball into touch behind the BT sport tree-house on stilts.

If you seriously think we will be on course for a premiership promotion push next season "ASSUMING" we get promoted this season then your even more deluded than what most of the posters on here think/know you are.

The sheer arrogance of the Falkirk board and some supporters is fantastic, especially when you sign shite like Aiden Connolly and Mark Durnan.

Talking about having a Premiership-strength side when you’ve just been papped down to League One is old firm-levels of arrogance.

‘Some supporters’ please quote more than one person saying we have a premiership quality side.

tbf, I don't even think Edi said that, he said a team capable of a premiership promotion push, big difference in quality from that to an established top flight squad.

To be fair

If you asked United fans who was better out of Durnan and Donaldson 99 percent sure the vast majority would say Durnan
 

 

4 years ago yep.  Unfortunately we all only live in the present day.  To be fair.

A right back is expected to sign tomorrow according to the FH. Please god don’t let it be Toshney.

Assuming David Oliver’s Mad Dog tweet is accurate it’s Michael Doyle.

Do you mean the poster or the board statement from a few weeks back? I’d imagine both are applicable to your description tbf.

Can you please post the board statement saying we would build a premiership quality squad? They mentioned signing a core of players they believe would do the business in both the championship and league 1.

What board statement? The two years to get to the Premier League was a throwaway remark made by McKinnon about half an hour after the Ross County game. Since then it has been repeated by one lunatic poster who has been laughed off this board on numerous occasions and is therefore on about his fourth different username. No one else is stupid enough to swallow it. Fake news. Troll elsewhere.

Unfortunately McKinnon just came out with the 2 year plan nonsense again.
