Anyone think that Sunday's events may have pushed this decision? LIB mentioned it previously and I actually thought it on Sunday. It was so far removed from the misery of the last couple of years that it put it all into sharper focus. May also have been an opportunity to sound some people out.

Put the best team I've seen since Park, Melrose, Houston et al on the park. I know it's not a popular opinion on here because of the way he left, which admittedly was not great, but Sunday brought some more important things to the fore. I was referring to his overall record as a manager which is not great to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - this decision was purely down to footballing reasons in that he was a very poor manager. And a long overdue decision in my opinion.

chunky jag Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Definitely feel Sunday had a hand in this. The sombre atmosphere at what we used to have, painted GC in a bad light. McCall or Lennon would be fine with me, as a wee outside shout what about Martin Canning? Thought he did well with the accies on a shoestring, always liked him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenski Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Absolutely the right decision - his approach to the job has been questionable from the outset - almost designed to alienate both supporters and players. The timing is weird though - less than a month after the closure of the transfer window where he completed building his team - quite ironic really. It'll be a tough ask for the incoming manager, and we may need to accept another transition season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Correct thing to. Words did not match actions or is it the other way round? No team identity. No spine in the team. No settled formation. Quoted Lance Armstrong. Ffs. Good at presentations and tactics so maybe a coach or media career beckons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 They could just have announced in on the news and let Caldwell find out that way - as the previous board did with Dools. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doolan wouldn't be able to play until January if this did happen. Suspect it'll be a crowd-pleasing appointment given the division of the fans recently therefore McCall / Lennon or maybe at an absolute push Stephen Craigan - yes he's inexperienced at 1st team level but so were McNamara and Archibald (both of their ships have sailed imo). Some of the other names on the McBookie "next manager odds" list would keep you awake at night- Jim McIntyre or Mark McGhee ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
