“Even the short time I was back at Hearts, there was no money there at the time. It was going the other way. They were losing money. And there was no money at Raith Rovers.
“It would be interesting if I was at a club that had a blank cheque book, but myself and [assistant] Paul [Smith] have managed to duck and dive, bob and weave, to get the best team out on the park we can.”
McGlynn was talking after revealing the signing of 21-year-old Sheffield United midfielder Louie Marsh on loan.
“We got a little money to get Louie up and a little money to get [striker] Brian Graham in, but that’s about it,” the Scot said.
Premiership rivals Celtic, Rangers, Kilmarnock and now Aberdeen have been seeking new managers this season, but McGlynn revealed: “No-one’s ever talked to me.
“I am happy to be here and to be entertaining the fans here.”
Celtic, now under Martin O’Neill as interim manager for a second time this season, are Falkirk’s next opponents on Wednesday.
“It is an exciting prospect,” McGlynn said. “Obviously we were first to sample Martin coming back the first time at Celtic Park.
“It didn’t go so well, so we will be looking for something better than that.
“Different at Celtic Park with 50,000 Celtic fans behind their team. The atmosphere is going to be a bit different than Celtic Park with nearly 7,000 fans behind us.
“We are in a good place. We’ve taken nine points from a possible 12. It is a game to look forward to.”
