Liam's good and bad times

"Obviously you are concerned because you don't want to go a summer without getting a contract or wages. The sooner you can sort out your future the better.

Liam Buchanan is disappointed with the relegation from the SPL but he claims to have enjoyed the experience of playing at Ibrox and Celtic Park and even Easter Road and Tynecastle to an extent. He remembers his five top flight goals with the celebration of the one against Aberdeen in November being a potential screensaver. Whether or not he is back to add to his 11 goal Pars tally is conditional on being offered a new contract. He summed up the feeling from the dressing room:-

"There are a lot of boys in the same boat, so we just need to wait and see over the next week to find out a little more. Obviously you are concerned because you don't want to go a summer without getting a contract or wages. The sooner you can sort out your future the better.

"It is out of the players hands and I don't know what the Manager wants to do. As a player you just have to focus on something else and as hard as it might be, not worry about it too much. You just have to deal with it.

"The Manager has tried as hard as he can. He tries hard on the training field and organises us well but the team just didn't manage to escape the drop, I am sure that he will be trying to get a group of players together that can take us right back up.

"It is a difficult league to get out of but I don't know if I will be a Dunfermline player next season; it is hard to comment from the club's point of view. There are not many teams who have gone down who have come right back up the following season."

There was a real end of term feeling about the club with the uncertainty of not knowing who will be meeting up for next season. Liam who was signed from Partick Thistle in January 2011 added that he had enjoyed his time at Dunfermline:-

"I have loved every minute since Jim McIntyre brought me here, there is a right buzz about the place. It is a big club and I'd like to continue here but it is out of my hands. The dressing room has been good, you have spent nearly everyday for the last fifteen months with them and we could be separated but that is part and parcel of football. It is going to be tough to come to terms with leaving good friends behind."
