Of course I would rather he done a good job and had us competing but he wasn't able to and over stayed his welcome. I had no confidence in him (and clearly never did the players), whoever we bring in has a tough job but am I happy we are making the change now before it is too late? Absolutely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Also hearing a few are interested in buying our club, and brabco keen to sell. Anyone else heard this. Apparently from a reliable source, not mine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scrotum Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Didn't see this coming today, to be honest, but it had to be. Just don't give Durran-Durrant the job. PLEASE!!! One (slightly used) "Aitken's Army" banner for sale on ebay. 50p or nearest offer, includes free postage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The right decision and I do hope it was able to be taken without further debt being incurred. It’s probably going to be someone who’s out of a job at the moment for a replacement. McIntyre (probably unlikely) Duffy or Hartley would be my choice. I’d hope Durrant isn’t on the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The Sun referring to us as an 'amateur' team [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3319489/dumbarton-sack-stevie-aitken/I'm awaiting the usual pish from the media about how we've sacked a miracle worker who should have been going on to bigger and better things. I think Aitken has a few friends in the media so no doubt it will be forthcoming over the next few days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently from a reliable source, not mine I wasn't going to post this, but I was told yesterday that the club is in talks, or about to start talks, with a potential £3 million investor. Note that I said "investor"not "buyer". Now I have no way of confirming this (which is why I was keeping it to myself) but my 'source' is not only a respected businessman in these parts but a very brave one: he dragged me away from my pint to tell me this which I will not appreciate if it turns out to be, in the words of a certain radio pundit of yesteryear, "bunkum". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Strange how SA started with a 3-2 win away to one of his former clubs and ended with a 3-2 defeat away to one of his former clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure John Steele wouldn’t jeopardise the club and it has been done properly. I suspect the pay-off figure will be far smaller than some speculated anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo90 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Someone connected to the club telling my mate (some of you will know who) that his pay off was supposed to be 31k. Raging at my mate for even believing it! Can see us and Airdrie competing for the same manager.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
