This is easily the best signing news of the summer. Makes me fully confident the people in charge of the club are really the correct type of people we want here. Especially after we were told the Germans were the real deal and they were anything but. Lennon wouldn’t sign a contract if we had imposters running the club.

Good news for a bit of stability, he’s had way more budget then the last few managers got but used it well in the end last season.
Surely this season we’ll improve on last seasons point tally and continue the upward trend.
The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

I was not worried about the manager leaving, he seems happy here. I think the Scotland manager`s job could have been a temptation and might have worked given Lennon is so far removed from his somewhat controversial playing career.
Still good to have it on an official footing.

I really think you’re unfair on the Germans.
They took over a month or two before lockdown.

Made my weekend, this news. There was a risk he would have given it just another year to gain promotion, however this shows he’s happy and committed to us regardless!

Cool what was the excuse for the other 3 years they were in charge? And don’t say winning league 1 because Steve bracknall and the Royal Oak could have won that league they gave us managerial powerhouses like yogi grant mcpake and tidser

Good to see. I`m never convinced by any manager but I like how Lennon and Brunskill appear to approach things. Hopefully I don`t regret saying this as the season goes on!

Just because things didn`t work out with the Germans doesn`t mean they were `impostors`. And I don`t remember us going into the League 1 season with everyone thinking it was a foregone conclusion that we would win it.

This is great news and it once again shows that we are on the right footing as a club, yet people would rather turn it into talking about the Germans. Give me strength.
I’m delighted with the news, Lennon and Co have made me enjoy going to the football again and have put us back on the map. Long may it continue.

They did fill us all with a fair bit of false hope. I think they massively underestimated both the amount of money it takes to compete in the Championship and how much work, and again money, was needed to get the club into a position where it could compete. They were also pretty wasteful with the money they did apparently spend. The training ground fiasco springs to mind. They blamed that for the cash running dry, but when you read the communications regarding it, they gave the impression that grants were doing most of the heavy lifting. All of that for what is basically an astro pitch with some portacabins.
Bord and Co have spent £1 million on a new pitch, with further investment in the same area this season, as well as backing the manager with investment in the transfer market. They seem to know what we need to take us to the next level. Hopefully we can sort the club merch out for next season.
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

None of that justifies calling then `impostors` in my opinion. People make business decisions all the time that don`t work out for all sorts of reasons. Controlling the cost of construction work during the Covid epidemic was nearly impossible and most folk would commend sourcing outside grants to keep costs down as good business.
Football fans just seem to love a scapegoat though.

Great news for the club. Neil Lennon was always the marquis signing and a 2-yr extension is just terrific.
Looking forward, not back!

Hardly scapegoating, it`s just calling it for what it is. If the plan was always to play reserve games at the training ground, they should`ve built it with supporters in mind. Charge a few quid to get in and at least generate some sort of return on the investment.
They were more than happy to hold supporters` meetings when everything was rosy, but as soon as things got difficult they quietly stopped them. Funny how they only came back once results started improving.
The difference between Bord and the Germans is night and day. The club feels far better run, the communication is miles better, and we`re in a much healthier place both on and off the park because of them.

No one`s disputing that, I just don`t understand this need to go over old ground. One thing that always worried me was that effectively the previous owners chose the new owners as it was their investment they were selling. They could gave made things difficult but it seems they made a good choice.

I think we need to look at our recent past to appreciate just how good Bord and his investment have been for the club. We were a side sleepwalking towards League One rather than realising our potential. Fast forward a year or two, and we`ve been beaten by the biggest team in Scotland in a cup final and narrowly missed out on promotion through the play offs.
That doesn`t happen by accident. Bord wasn`t afraid to spend money and back his judgement by putting faith in Lenny and his staff to get us where we need to be on the park. Off it, he`s invested in the pitch to give us the best playing surface possible. He has put his money down and we are seeing the results.

It doesn`t appear that most of the previous board are involved in football other than Meggle.
Their post-Dunfermline paths have separated:
Meggle: still actively involved in football through Golden City FC.
Keretic: independent consultancy.
Teller: investment, shipping and honorary-consular work.
Gundermann: shipping registration, investment and maritime emissions technology.

I put the game on to see how he does and noticed he wasn’t on the bench.
Has only played an hour vs Morton but other than that hasn’t been in the squad. Must be struggling with some kind of knock.
