Jimmy Thompson saw out the season Nichol left despite the team getting being sold off lock stock and barrel. He was then given money and built his own team over the summer with the largest budget of any rovers manager before or since but got punted after about 4 games at the start of the following season.
I always wonder what went on at the start of that season was it too much pressure over the cost of refurbishing the ground large wage bill, players fighting I know Dennis and Duffield had a squarish go at half time.
