Hank Scorpio Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 What happened at ICT? Why did he leave? Something regarding the club not matching his ambitions. I'm sure I read something about him being promised more money after the cup win but that then being withdrawn but I'm fucked if I can remember where I saw that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 What happened at ICT? Why did he leave? Not sure. He had them finish 3rd in the league and won the Scottish Cup, then had a mediocre follow up season and fell out with their Board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr mince Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Given the shambles of this season the exciting news for today will probably be that Anelka's got another obscure relative with a spare £20 to invest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 What happened at ICT? Why did he leave? Continually moaned about not being given the budget, when his signings were almost all atrocious and he only had success with Butcher's squad. Grumbled publicly one time too many and duly got punted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Aitken will care too much about that. The bigger problem for Aitken is giving up his job at Rolls Royce. Makes a mint there and will be pissing gold when he retires, is giving that up for a crack at Rovers something he wants to do at this stage? I'm not convinced. But I still think your board will approach him if Locke does go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying but he wouldn't have applied for the job last time if that was an issue surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If Locke doesn't go then be prepared for starts by Skacel and Stevenson tonight as Locke wants to "freshen things up" as players will be tired having played so much football recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he seems to have been unavailable for any pre-match interviews which I am hoping is a sign that he will be gone. Probably not though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Can see it now. A day of refreshing the twitter page at increasingly less hopeful 30 minute intervals to no news before a pumping off Morton in the freezing cold with under 1000 hardy souls watching Skacel/Stevenson upfront... Prove me wrong please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't want one in Scotland outside the top flight. He was supposedly offered the St Mirren job but turned it down (or at least turned down the opportunity to talk to them about it) because he wanted a job in England. I suppose the longer he doesn't get one though the more chance of him taking something up here.

Raithie Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 IF true then it'll be interesting to see what the club do i.e. look to appoint a manager asap or have someone temporarily take charge of the team until the end of the season and take it from there. Difficult one as the board will naturally be worried about the threat of relegation and might feel we need someone in pronto. Acht all if's and but's at the moment as nowt has been announced re Locke being away yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 All just rumour at the moment. This article appeared in Deadline News late last night although it could have been written before the board meeting (if any board meeting did indeed take place). From the article Locke's talking about making changes for tonight. Also, Cuthbert is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
