Who decided which players were going/staying ?
I`d like to think that Lennon has had input into it .
I`d also like to hear if he`s to be our manager next season .

I would have thought at NL is still engaged by the club he would have some input.hopefully he will stay on and be able to bring players in who can form a team to go for the championship title, but also be able to build on that and compete at premiership level. I have no doubt that would be NL`s objective and hence influence his decision to stay on as manager.

Dunfermline confident of keeping Lennon as boss
Dunfermline Athletic are confident of keeping Neil Lennon at East End Park.
The former Celtic boss was brought in by the Fifers in March to keep them in the Championship.
Lennon not only did that but also led the Pars to seventh in the league.
His short-term contract was until the end of the season but now owner James Bord wants to make it a permanent arrangement.
Bord and his board are also willing to back Lennon financially on and off the park to put together a squad that can get Dunfermline back to the Premiership.
Lennon is ready to hold talks with Bord to learn of his plans.
He was backed to bring in his former Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama and the club are in talks to try and extend that agreement.
Dunfermline remain in talks with Chris Hamilton, Josh Cooper, Tashan Oakley-Boothe and Jeremian Chilokoa Mullen.
Bord and his backers bought Dunfermline earlier this year and are determined to turn them into a major force in Scottish football again
They believe the former Hibs and Bolton boss can help them achieve that.

Surely deciding on players` contracts is a football matter which requires input from the manager unless you just decide to let go everyone who is out of contract. The fact that we are `in dialogue` with some suggests he has been involved, otherwise who would have made these decisions?

Lennon must have had a big day in the decisions regarding the out of contract players, especially given all the noises about him staying on. I`d have hoped John McLaughlin also had some input, given Lennon isn`t confirmed as manager and will have had a whole season view of the players. Maybe there was some data analysis behind it as well :)

Lennon has literally said that he is here because of the owner, that he likes the way he thinks about football and thinks he can learn something.
Analytics have played a huge part in the success of Brighton, Brentford and Liverpool in recent years. What makes you think Lennon is such a dinosaur that he wouldn`t want to use the resources available - especially given his comments about his discussions with Bord?

It’s either all been agreed and signed and they are keeping it quiet to announce at a certain time.
Or perhaps there’s a sticking point. We’ll have offered Lennon big money for the short spell until the end of the season that we perhaps can’t commit to for a full season or 2? Maybe there’s a big promotion bonus but Lenny wants to see what his budget is?
Could be anything, maybe Lennon keen to continue with his media commitments and punditry and it causing issues? Of those who have left I’d imagine any manager would let them go to get their own players in.
I just hope if there’s a sticking point we have a plan b if anything drags on.

There’s no real urgency. He will be in contract till the end of this month ( after all we might have been in the relation playoff place). While here, he would be deciding players futures as the current manager. David Cook has no knowledge to shape a squad or decide what players for playing formations.
I fully expect 2 or 3 currently in negotiation eg cooper , Hamilton to be announced as signed at the same time as Lenny is announced this month. End of the month Wanyamma alongside a biggish name signing tying in the early bird and season ticket options.

Killie are not exactly awash with cash. What makes you think they can offer Lennon a bigger salary and budget than the Pars can?
If Lennon hasn`t already agreed a contract with us, he can stall in the hope the Killie job does come up and that he would be the club`s first choice, not knowing how big a budget and salary they can offer. Assuming he got the job, his target would be to try and squeeze into the top 6.
If he stays at the Pars, he`ll get a good salary and a decent budget and his task will be promotion to the Premiership and hero status among Pars fans. An absolute no brainer..... 😁

Back in November time hearts were dead and buried and were a mess, shipping goals, no confidence, players looking like they`d rather be anywhere else. Then Neil Critchley came in and nearly took them to the Scottish Cup final that was some turnaround in a short space of time.
Critchley walked into a disaster zone and somehow steadied the ship. The defence stopped leaking, the midfield started ticking, and he got some of the deadwood playing like they`d remembered they were professional football players. Not only did they claw their way out of the relegation zone, we started actually playing decent football.
missing out on the Scottish cup final and missing out on top 6 was the catalyst for him getting sacked. But to come that close after where they were was remarkable.
Hearts fans are crazy Neilson had them a hard team to beat they sacked him now chritchley has gone after a great turnaround.Would McInnes want to go to Hearts ? If I was him in a relatively secure job I would stay well clear. Is Hearts a massive step up at the moment? Probably not...

I was actually speaking to a Jambo at the time of typing it asking what he thought of it. Hearts have the potential to be up there but it seems they aren`t really sure of the direction they want to go to get there. Especially when you see what`s happening in Leith.

C`mon GG, you`re better than that. Not only is the Kilmarnock owner very wealthy, they have managed to get in quite a number of big name managerial appointments in recent years - Clarke, Wright and McInnes to name three - and they`ll be paying a very competitive salary. They`ve had one season out of the top flight in recent memory, plenty of European football and big gates v the Old Firm. Even if that wasn`t true, apart from that blip when they came down, they are an established Premiership club. I don`t think they will be after Lennon but to suggest we`re a better option presently is looking at things with Pars glasses on.

I would have thought there would have been some sort of preliminary agreement when NL came in. I think one aspect of that would have been keeping us in the championship. The benefit of the short-term deal as it appears to me was the ability of either party to walk away. The current negotiation, as I would see it, would be about the next steps in terms of NL`s role in the club going forward and what he believes needs to happen and how much needs to be invested. I believe the intent is for the club to develop players in addition to probably strengthening the squad, hence the players that have departed to date. Personally I think Subject to the conditions being agreed NL will be the manager next year. I think as a club we have great potential and what better way to demonstrate your managerial abilities and software analytics. Together there is potential there to develop a club that can punch above its weight.

Want this over the line now. Need to get a move on for players he wants before we miss out like last year.
Been told there is a concrete offer on the table for Moult but unsure if he will make the move as personal circumstances may see him move back down south.

Meanwhile local lad and Pars` fan, Lucas Fyfe, has been signed on a two-year apprenticeship.

I am sure the announcement will come in the fullness of time. It`s one thing making an announcement. It`s another to be working in the background to get the right structure and systems in place. I would suspect that once everything has been lined up, an announcement will be made. It`s good that NL and his team have enjoyed it at EEP. that`s the prerequisite for any job that you want to excel at. As a club as a whole It`s been a difficult season, but like everything, there are things to learn from that. It`s a different type of challenge, but sometimes you learn things about yourself as a result. Hopefully, for the younger players, they will have done that and also those other players who will be staying on. On VW, I think he will have something to offer both on and off the park. He`s been there done it and bought the T shirt. Personally, I never underestimate the value of experience.

Indiapar on VW it purely depends on what your paying him. If it’s like £1k a week it’s absolutely worth it for what he can bring to the team on and off the park. If it’s £3k it expensive and at this point unjustified until he shows he can get his fitness levels up to be competitive in this league.
I guess it depends on the wage budget, I think we’ll be paying good money but I didn’t expect we’ll be paying very big amounts for this league and it needs to be sensible spending, can’t see bord wanting lose millions every year.

Think Neil Lennon signing on is inevitable, all his previous interviews indicate that he was going to stay around next season.
I wouldn’t have said it before Bord but think Dunfermline are a more exciting proposition than any other clubs available in Scottish football at the moment, not to say he was ever to be considered but the Falkirk gig (had MGlynn gone) would never work out well, you can only do so much with a team like Kilmarnock, Steve Clarke took them as far as I think they can go.
Dunfermline are in a good spot, he has the opportunity to build his own team with (if it’s to be believed) a nice war chest of funds so would be seeing us challenging for the title, and I don’t think the ambition would stop there if we got up.

Clarke took Killie to 3rd in the league, were challenging at the top until around February and his record against the former OF was W6, D6, L6.
If Lennon, or anyone, takes us as far as we can go and it matches that, I`d bite your hand off.

As I mentioned a while back, word I had was Lennon had already signed a contract before he sat down with the players to talk about their futures at the club. Looks like things were already in motion behind the scenes.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the official announcement comes out alongside the season ticket pricing, bit of a PR tactic to soften the blow or build a bit of buzz maybe?

Arguably both Tidser and McPake could have kept us up this season and their respective records are not much different anyway albeit Lennon had a shorter spell.
I’d say Lennon is the better of the three because he believes in attacking teams than the turgid defensive minded strategy’s of his predecessors.

I think I agree red star. He will need at least 3 years to get us to where we need to be. He deserves respect for all that he has achieved in the game. Ultimately it`s down the overall plan for the club and the direction we are going in, and I think as you say NL is a winner, has experience at the top level in Scotland and knows the game here inside out.we could do alot worse. He has nothing to prove to anybody.

To be fair I think in some ways he does need to prove himself at a club like Dunfermline. The majority of his success to date has been with Celtic, with whom he had vastly superior resources to the rest of the Premier League. When he won the Championship with Hibs, their squad was miles ahead of the likes of Falkirk, Dundee Utd etc.

It`s a fair point to say it`s easy to win when at a club like Celtic but that`s disregarding the enormous pressure. Celtic are never expected to lose a game. Even if you win almost all of the time, losing to Rangers can be your undoing.
NL might turn out to be a disaster, but I`m yet to hear a decent alternative. NL has a great opportunity here. He`s got a team that needs building and hopefully a bit of money to do it. We know we need players across the whole team but the key is going to be that elusive striker who can score a bloody goal and a midfielder who can create chances. The guys we have left are a fairly solid nucleus of a team but we need more quality brought in. That will help some of the younger guys to up their game a bit too.
I really hope Cook and co get a bit of cash to build the marketing back up. That season in the first division had some great stuff on the go and I`d love to see it back again. Get the people of Dunfermline being part of the club whether they attend games or not.

The guys we have left are a fairly solid nucleus of a team but we need more quality brought in. That will help some of the younger guys to up their game a bit too.
I really hope Cook and co get a bit of cash to build the marketing back up. That season in the first division had some great stuff on the go and I`d love to see it back again. Get the people of Dunfermline being part of the club whether they attend games or not.
I’m not disregarding the immense pressure or the attention managing Celtic is.
You’re only 3 bad results from being under pressure for your job, but he did get the job at the ‘right time’ when he was very used to the pressure.
I know I’m getting it tight from some here but being an ex player like Lennon at Celtic isn’t a reason he will be a good manager for years to come.
Ally McCoist was shown up to be a crap manager and so is currently one of their finest players in Barry Ferguson who has been rubbish at coaching.

Being an ex-player isn`t really even relevant now, he`s been retired as a player for some time, during which time he`s won 5 Scottish Premierships, 4 Scottish Cups, 1 League Cup, 1 Scottish Championship with Hibs and a Cypriot Cup. Being an ex-player probably affords you some good will for a short period of time, but it takes seriously good management skills to guide teams to that amount of sustained success

You also need to add some context to some of those wins. In his first year at Celtic he lost the title to Rangers and the following year Rangers were liquidated. The next season the top 4 was Celtic, Motherwell,St Johnstone and ICT. Motherwell were then runners up again the following season, followed by Aberdeen the next. You would be expecting him to win the league there every season with no real competition at the time.
He went to Bolton on a 4 year deal and lasted less than a year and a half before being fired, they were ultimately relegated finishing 24th. He won 18 of 79 games.
He took a Hibs team with the likes of John McGinn, Martin Boyle, Jason Cummings, Andrew Shinnie,Kris Commons and Brian Graham to the Championship title. They accumulated 1 point more than Alan Stubbs had for them the previous season when they were denied by Rangers. He undoubtedly did a decent job there before he was suspended for disciplinary reasons and left.
He went back to Celtic and won the title in the shortened COVID season but when going for their 10th title in row the next season they lost by 25 points and it was the first time they didn`t win a single trophy since 2010. I`m not sure when they previously lost the title by such a margin. He has an inferior win record to almost all recent Celtic managers and he didn`t have Rangers to contend with for the majority of the time.
He went to Cyprus on a 2 and a half year deal to Omonia, where Henning Berg had previously won the league and he did win the cup against lower league opposition on penalties but was fired less than 6 months into the contract.
Finally he went to Romania on a 2 year deal and lasted 3 months before being sacked without winning a game.
Every time he has been handed out a long deal he seems to be gone within no time.
I look forward to seeing what he can do and I`ll judge him based on what I see on the park rather than what has gone previously. I don`t buy into some of the hyperbole.

I’d give NL max 2 year contract as it stands.
That might sound harsh but he’s still to prove himself with us.
Arguably both Tidser and McPake could have kept us up this season and their respective records are not much different anyway albeit Lennon had a shorter spell.
I’d say Lennon is the better of the three because he believes in attacking teams than the turgid defensive minded strategy’s of his predecessors.
We just need the right playing staff to carry this out from the back to the front.
Seriously!
He needs to prove SFA to anyone on here.
Unbelievable!
Winning things with Celtic is surely not a barometer as to how good he is surely?
Davie Hay won things with Celtic …..
I dare say you, GG could win things with Celtic given the resources.
I really don’t want to be proved right btw and wish him every success with our club but being a champion with Celtic in a two team league doesn’t cut it with me I’m afraid.
What did I do or say to merit such a stunning reference from you, AAPS? 🤔😁

Hearts have given Derek McInnes a 4-year deal. Coaches Paul Sheerin and Alan Archibald will follow McInnes from Rugby Park to Tynecastle.
"The opportunity to manage Hearts was just everything I wanted," said a "delighted" McInnes. "I`ve always felt that this is a club that I`ve wanted to manage. The intention is to try and deliver silverware, bring sustained success on the pitch and just be the biggest animal we can be and try and meet the expectation that`s there from everybody."

I think I`m in the minority, but I can`t say I`d be too bothered if it`s not Lennon.
His recent record at smaller clubs isn`t exactly great.
Yes, he won a lot at Celtic, but that in itself needs to be taken in context.
If he does get the job, great, will get behind him and hope it works, but if he doesn`t take it, I`ll get fully behind the next choice.
Kettlewell would be worth considering, in my humble opinion.

Some of the panic merchants on here need to take a breath. Folk getting worked up over a rumour from another forum . It’s not Sir Alex Ferguson we’re talking about here.
Everything`s pointing to Lennon staying, he’s still under contract until the end of the month although he has probably signed already. Let it play out. If he stays, fine. If not, also fine. There’s plenty of decent managers out there who can take us where we need to go.
Just have a bit of patience. No point losing sleep before anything’s even official. Wait until the contract’s actually up and we have some substantial evidence he even went to chat to killi.

The last statement from the club on the 9th May said that he was still involved in the day to day operation of the club. I would assume he has been involved in the release of players and working on a team for next season. My comment above was tongue in cheek but no less valid than the speculation he was being interviewed by Kilmarnock.

Sorry, but that’s just nonsense. The board will know full well whether Lennon is staying or not and will plan accordingly. Players don’t just sign the second we offer them a deal, look at MFW, he chose York over us. That’s the reality.
Yes, we’ve had new investment, but let’s not kid ourselves in thinking he’s not going to throw everything he owns into us. Lennon is still under contract as it stands and if he has signed a new deal and decided to go elsewhere compensation will be paid accordingly. If he chooses to leave, fine, we move on. We’ve got options. He’s not the Messiah some make him out to be. Good manager, but not irreplaceable.
Like I said, I’m happy if he stays (and I think he will), but if he goes, fair play to him, I’ll wish him well and back whoever comes in next.
We’re not as big a club as some on here think. League One level or bottom half of the Championship is where we’ve been for. While. Since 2021 we’ve had five managers (not even counting Lanzarote John), two owners, and a stadium that’s falling apart.
Players will weigh up all of that before signing. A few days` wait on Lenny won’t make or break anything, and I’d bet the owners know that too.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, not many players are going to commit straight away, most will wait and see if a better move comes along. That’s just how it goes, regardless who the manager is.
And just because the club doesn’t issue a statement every time the manager goes to the toilet doesn’t mean things aren’t happening behind closed doors. Let’s wait until his current contract is out before jumping to conclusions.
As the song goes, whatever will be, will be.

The main differentiator IMHO between NL and other candidates is that he’s been there and done that at the highest level in our game, he’s the combative pragmatic type that we need, but mainly he’s a big name in our game, a bigger draw for potential players, and has good contacts in the game
I hope he stays, even though that won’t mean we’ll magically transform into a Liverpool/Barca/etc

Yip. It can’t be an issue with the contract he has been offered. That would have been sorted one way or another by now. If the sticking point is the influence the owners want with regards to players being recruited then I think that NL may have an issue with that. If that is the case then it is time to move on….
We ideally need a new man in before month end…

I fully expect the deal to already be done and dusted tbh. I don’t think the use of AI in picking players will be the issue as that would’ve been discussed before he was initially announced last season.
It’s more likely to be what the budget will be he is working with IMO.
Why was he in having meeting with players in regards to who’s getting new contracts and being released etc….if he wasn’t going to be in charge?

He was appointed after the last transfer window closed so recruitment policy wasn`t really an issue then. That contract may not have expired yet which may explain why he was involved in deciding about contract renewals. Players who were out of contract couldn`t have been left in limbo indefinitely.

Steven Naismith, John Carver and Robbie Neilson were all interested in the hot seat."

"Neil Lennon`s future is also uncertain after he joined Dunfermline last season on a short-term basis.
He helped keep them up and is in talks with the Championship club about staying longer.

Robbie Neilson ? Say what you want about his time at Hearts or Dundee United, the guy’s got promotions on his CV and knows how to build a squad that can compete at Championship level. Might not play the prettiest football, but he gets results more often than not.
Stevie Naismith? not sure how I feel about it, he was part of a decent coaching setup at Hearts. That being said he’s still very green as a manager in his own right. Some questionable decisions in the big games, and he’s never really had to rebuild like he would here.
Would the board take a punt on someone like Naismith over a more experienced name like Neilson if Lennon goes elsewhere?

Now I`m not saying he is,but I hope he isn`t trying to bleed the owners dry. I don`t want a manager that`s mainly in it for the retirement fund, we`ve got a squad to replenish. I`d rather have another man in charge than someone demanding an SPL wage. Get us to the SPL then you can get an SPL wage. He`s had bad breakups with other clubs and I don`t like the idea of having to give him hundreds of thousands to pay him off if it doesn`t work out.
Once again (before the hounds go for my throat),I`m not saying he is.

The best managers don’t necessarily need huge budgets. They have the confidence plus developmental and man management skills to take raw young potential and mould a team together sprinkled with experience to lead by example and get his messages instilled into the team . He gains the respect of the team and sets a standard expected and players know their respective roles. A big budget helps to get there quicker maybe but if NL has the above in him and backs himself then size of budget available should not be that big an issue.

In the Scottish Premiership, managerial salaries outside the Old Firm (Celtic and Rangers) range from £175,000 to £275,000 annually. For instance, David Gray at Hibernian earns £275,000 per year . Considering Dunfermline`s position in the second tier and their financial limitations, it`s improbable that Lennon is currently the highest-paid manager outside the Old Firm.

If Lennon’s really on £300k (which I`m sceptical of), that’s well above the average if my earlier figures were right. In that case, maybe him moving on isn’t the worst thing in the world. You’ve got to wonder if we’re getting value for money there.
That said, I’ve no idea what kind of wages other available managers will be after. Could end up being a case of “better the devil you know,” but still—£300k? That’s serious cash.
Yes, the new board clearly has money behind them, but let’s not forget a good businessmen don’t keep throwing cash at something that’s not delivering. They cut their losses and move on. Be interesting to see what they do next. Big call either way.

As DAFC seem to be struggling to confirm the appointment of a manager, I am prepared to step up and manage the Pars for season 2025-2026. I would play 5-3-2 with current players and new signings dictated by data analytics to fit this pattern of play. I would require no wage, simply a guarantee of a decent bovril & pie at half-time. But I would require a 2,000,000 quid win bonus if the Pars won the league or a non-diddy cup.

Can understand the big pay to keep us up this last season but looking forward, these figures for someone who’s still to make a profound difference with us is extreme when there are very capable managers out there who could do the job for a third of that.
Neil Lennon needs a target and reward system.
Top 4 guaranteed next season then look at improving his wage and take it from there as long as there is clear progress but he should not be starting with a wage not equated outside of the top Premiership teams

On Lennon though, we seriously do need to get this sorted - either announce that he has signed or get an official update out there that nothings agreed on. I know he’s been on holiday, but this dragging on could cost us in the long run. The mystery behind it will eventually start frustrating fans rather than intriguing them.

I really hope the owners have been giving serious thoughts to a back up plan if he turns us down.
Ps Bypass Cheers and go straight to Frasier, it`s far superior. The first few seasons of Cheers is basically all about sexual harassment at work. It only turns into a good show when Woody comes into it and then Frasier (and Lillith) comes into it. Only watch Cheers from the start if you enjoy watching a man with a high libido pester employees for sex,and then boast about it. Tedious drivel that would be critically panned if they aired it today as a new show.

Agreed - he`s under contract till the end of the month - I know we all want to hear the good news - in reality it will be a Gamdom sponsored PR announcement - Lenny as Manager - Season Tickets at cracking early bird prices by/on Friday.
Followed by first week in June a decent name signing.
We seem to be in discussions with a fair few of our old guard midfielders ( 4 maybe?) .... I think that will be hardball offers to maybe get two and free up a couple of slots for new signings.

He may well be under contract to be a pundit.
And that is probably one reason it has taken longer than we expected to get it over the line………and why it is going to cost the club an arm and a leg……………………..let’s hope it proves to be worth it….
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Don’t get the panic over the lack of info on the management team if I`m honest. If Lennon is staying, then there’ll already be work going on behind the scenes lining up targets. If he’s not the guy, the club will be sorting out a shortlist for a replacement,that’s just how it works.
The transfer window isn`t even officially open yet and Lennon’s still under contract. There’s still plenty of time to get business done. From what I’ve seen so far, the early deals from Championship sides haven’t exactly been world-beaters and not like we’ve missed out on anything major quality wise.
No need to lose the plot in May. Let it play out.

Never really noticed any ``panic`` tbh.
Just been very quiet last few weeks. I think the NL announcement is being held back until SRJ contract runs down at the end of the month and Gamdom take over as main sponsor and get their name attached to all the announcements online and at press conferences.

Seen a few panic posts flying about on the socials and on here a few weeks back. Personally, I reckon they’re holding things back until there’s another announcement – could be the one you mentioned or even season ticket pricing.
As for Lennon, I’m honestly not fussed either way. If he stays, fine ,hopefully he gets the backing and we push on. If he goes, I wouldn’t be losing any sleep over it. Just need to wait a little while longer. I don`t think we can be worse than last year.

Heard it was sorted tail end of last week but holding off officially announcing it for whatever reason. If it ties in with the commercial side of things that does make sense.

I can’t see them holding off that long on NL announcement if it’s done and dusted.
I’m hoping they’ll announce something just in time for the season ticket sales - which should be on sale for renewal soon

the club could still put out bits and pieces though without giving it all away, so if it is waiting on a new sponsorship starting they could have put a thank you to previous sponsors with new sponsors to be confirmed shortly etc.
last week with the pitch work starting, the Press had a little bit online about it with a pic taken by Craig Brown although the whole thing was removed a couple days later but even now there has been nothing from the club on it. last season the delays in the delivery of the new strips, it happens, a simple tweet saying that would have answered the questions around it. yes dont put out every little thing thats going on but when there is something that can be said, get it out there.

I would think in terms of timing the club would want to get this over the line as quickly as possible and by the end of the month so that we can get on with the business of sorting out the playing staff for next season.
The more certainty the better at this stage. For sure there would be details to resolve and get everything aligned for an announcement I would hope in the coming days.

There needs to be an announcement soon regarding anything really. Other clubs are nearly at the end of their early bird period and we ain’t even put anything out.
If we are waiting on everything aligning around sponsorship going off the last 2 SRJ windows the club made the announcements on the 2/6/23 and the 22/6/24.
So it could be next week before anything comes out.
Clubs pre season is surely going to be around the 20/6 that would be just under a month till potentially cup starts in July.

New owners, soon to be new manager, but the same issues with communication/Social media…..poor.
And no I am not looking for running commentaries, but I do feel that the club could be doing way better in this respect. Hopefully see a big improvement this coming season……starting next week…

I don`t care one bit whether some other clubs have launched their early birds or not, I`m not in the market for their tickets.
Just chill, it`ll happen soon. Frankly I`m enjoying the break after a horror show of the last season.

Why the panic? Just because the club hasn’t announced anything doesn’t mean nothing’s happening behind the scenes. Honestly, some folk would be better off setting up deck chairs at the bus stop across from EEP the way they’re watching for news.
Just chill. I’d maybe get worried if other teams in the league were pulling off major signings, but let’s be honest—so far, I wouldn’t take a single one of them at EEP.
Relax folks, plenty of time yet.

The first friendly is usually the last Saturday in June, so it is going to be a busy month ahead. I suspect everything is in place, including some signings, just a matter of timing and, as some say, may be tied into sponsorship and wanting to come in with a bang.

The sun is running this
It`s understood the Jags board and new director of football Ian Baraclough were impressed by the club captain and offered him the post.
But Graham - who has also been linked with a player-coach role at Dunfermline next term - has decided to move elsewhere.
He has one year left on his playing contract at Firhill but has already stepped down from his role as manager of the women`s team.
And a return to top-flight action next term may be enough to convince Graham to switch to McGlynn`s Falkirk.
