In a video question and answer session with Falkirk Herald sports editor David Oliver this week, which is available on both the club and Falkirk Herald 
websites, Mr Deans visited several topics and requests for information sent by supporters - including investment options in the club.

He admitted there had been enquiries about the Bairns even in recent weeks “to kick the tyres” of the club but that “nothing concrete” was on the table for discussion.

But he added: “The board is too light in number and we will be looking to strengthen the board going forward.

“We will do a share issue too at some time in the future but this is being planned carefully and for when the time is right.”

He also discussed league reconstruction talks and broadly hinted that management duo Lee Miller and David McCracken were the club’s choice to take the team forward next season – whenever that may be.
