Ultimately, I feel it’s the correct decision but like most of us, I’m stunned at the timing of the announcement.
Rumours circulating that he had been talking to Motherwell behind the club’s back seem difficult to believe for a number of reasons, but I suppose we’ll find out more in the coming days.
I’m genuinely sorry it didn’t work out for McCall, but as history has shown, he’s a stable, mid-table manager at best.
In the meantime, I think Doolan is the ideal man to take control on an interim basis. He is universally respected by our fans and he’ll know our squad inside out. Hopefully the positivity from Ibrox can be carried onto Somerset and Doolan can be given the backing he so richly deserves.
