[edit] Review and Events
Dunfermline Athletic's first season after relegation from the Scottish Premier League started with disappointment. One win in seven games left them languishing in second last place and even more pressure was put on manager Stephen Kenny after they were knocked out of the UEFA Cup in the knockout qualifying round by Swedish minnows BK Häcken. Despite this the team managed to get to the final of the Scottish Challenge Cup, where they played against St Johnstone but lost 3-2.[1]
At the start of December, Stephen Kenny was sacked as manager of Dunfermline after just over a year in charge.[2] Jim McIntyre was immediately given the role of caretaker manager and after a successful run in which he won four out of six games, he was appointed as Dunfermline manager on a full time basis on the 3rd of January 2008. He signed a two-and-a-half year deal.[3] McIntyre started his reign by allowing 6 members of his squad to leave in order to try and cut the squad size down.[4] McIntyre's changes to the squad seemed to have a positive effect as the Pars eventually finished 5th overall, beating Queen of the South by 4 goals on the final day of the season.
