The previous manager Jim Leishman resigned on October 25, 2006, but remained as the director of football (the job which he had held previously before taking over from Davie Hay.

In the same month, Dunfermline lost their 3rd major final in four years (losing to Celtic in the Scottish Cup final on May 27, 2007).

Scottish Premier League (2000-2007)

The club's 7 year stay in the SPL between 2000-2001 and 2006-07 was brought to an end on 12 May 2007 as they were relegated after losing 2-1 away to Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Their seven year stay proved to be patchy but endured some fine seasons. The 2002-2003 season saw them finish 5th, their highest position yet with Stephen Crawford scoring a whopping 19 goals. The following season, Dunfermline did even better finishing 4th place as well as reaching the final of the Scottish Cup which also in addition saw them qualify for the UEFA Cup. It was at this point after a fine season for the small club that saw Manager, Jimmy Calderwood and assistant Jimmy Nicholl leave the club to turn the fortunes of rivals, Aberdeen who themselves had finished in a paltry 11th place finish. This proved to be a downfall in the fortunes of the club. In 2004-2005 under the newly appointed David Hay the team ended up in the lower half of the SPL which led to Hay being sacked.Jim Leishman who was promoted to the manager's job for a second spell during April 2005 helped the team avoid relegation. However a year later brought another equally disappointing season during 2005-2006 including an embarrassing 8-1 home defeat against Celtic F.C. in February 2006, Dunfermline's worst defeat since the formation of the SPL in 1998. This was in a season when the Pars also reached the final of the Scottish League Cup known as the 'CIS' Cup losing 3-0 to Celtic F.C. at Hampden Park. The 2006-07 season proved to be a bad start and Leishman returned to his job upstairs with Stephen Kenny appointed as the new manager in October 2006. However he could not turn round the fortunes of the club nor repeat Calderwood's success in the league as neither could the previous two managers. Perhaps the sales of star players such as Stephen Crawford, Craig Brewster and Barry Nicholson in the preceding season were key to losing the battle to avoid relegation.

The return leg was played in Gothenburg two weeks later. Dunfermline lost the game 1-0, losing 2-1 on aggregate.^[3][4] The team, who at the start of the season were favourites to go straight back up found themselves in 9th position after only 7 games, recording only one win.

Origins of nickname

According to Black and White Magic, a 1984 book about the club by Jim Paterson and Douglas Scott, there are numerous theories as to the origin of the club's nickname, the Pars. The authors wrote:

Most tend to confirm the more common belief that the name arose from the team's parallel striped shirts, their drinking habits or their style of play. The latter were both described as "paralytic". The earliest theory claims that in the early days when the Football Club was closely connected with the Cricket Club, the footballers were renowned for their performances at the bar and so were called the "Paralytics".

However in the early 1900s it is known that Athletic's nickname was the "Dumps" - shortened from Dunfermline - and this is said to have been coined by English sailors visiting East End Park when their ship docked at Rosyth. After the 1914-18 War they were known as the Pars and some believe the parallel black and white stripes to be the reason. Rosyth (pronounced Ross-sythe) (Scottish Gaelic: Ros Saoithe) is located on the Firth of Forth on Scotlands east coast, a mile (1. ... “The Great War ” redirects here. ...

Another school of thought involves English workers who came to work at the armaments depot at Crombie and at Rosyth Dockyard; they kept their association with their local team by forming the Plymouth Argyle (Rosyth) Supporters Club and it is said that the Dunfermline nickname comes from the banners in evidence around the ground. Plymouth Argyle Football Club (commonly known as the Pilgrims, the Greens, Langers Army, the Green Army or simply Argyle) are an English football team, playing in the Championship league. ...

Although almost certainly coincidental, there is also a curious resemblance to Dùn Phàrlain, which is the Gaelic name for Dunfermline. Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) is a member of the Goidelic branch of Celtic languages. ...
