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 I'm sure I read something about him being promised more money after the cup win but that then being withdrawn but I'm fucked if I can remember where I saw that.

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.

Not convinced Aitken would want to come and work for a board who thought that Gary Locke was a better option than him.

 

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.

I get what you're saying but he wouldn't have applied for the job last time if that was an issue surely?

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.

Was Yogi not available in the summer? Why did he not get the gig then?

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.

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.
