Previously said that he was a friend of Archie and would not be interested in the Thistle job while Archie was still in place. Yes please. Make it so Mr Weir. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not the shite ones from the last 18 months, but the decent ones before that. Still absolutely the right decision though, even if it was made far later than it should have been. We'll end up with an absolute joke of an appointment. The only candidate around Scottish football that I'd be excited about is Robbie Neilson, and I'm absolutely certain we wouldn't get him. John Hughes, Alan Stubbs, Jim Duffy etc all fill me with absolute dread. I don’t think want either of them, but Hughes and Stubbs probably have comparable managerial records to Archibald. Can’t see Archibald getting any other managerial gigs in all honesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Mildly surprised that we've outright sacked him rather than some kind of mutual consent agreement. Right decision made far too late. A real shame that he couldn't arrest the decline of the club. Hope he gets back on his feet promptly but the overriding concern I have is making a better fist of this season. They'll need to give whoever comes in a bit of money straight away to find a right back from somewhere too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Erskine/ Doolan duo won’t be far off the mark. It’s not like appointing joint managerial teams hasn’t worked in the past... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe too much water under the bridge and things were pretty meh by the time McNamara took over. That could be partly due to his off field issues which seem to be well behind them. He did state he wouldn’t replace Archibald which would make things a no goer, unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Sounds like Partick fans are in a similar position that we were a year or so ago. We lost 2-0 at home to County in McCullochs last game and there wasn’t really any anger that day, just apathy.Things can change quickly but it sounds like your board need to make a decision now. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFan Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Robbie Neilson would be a terrific appointment IMHO but I just can't see it Why? A Levein puppet, who when sent out to the big wide world of football management, crashed and burned. Why is he so highly rated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Why? A Levein puppet, who when sent out to the big wide world of football management, crashed and burned. Why is he so highly rated? Lots of successful scottish managers haven't survived in England's lower leagues, for example, Derek McInnes. And Levein himself failed miserably in England after winning precisely nothing in Scotland besides a Fife cup and has had a more than decent career 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlife Crisis Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Fair play to the board for sacking them - but should have been done long ago. We would have had a better chance of staying up in the SPL if the board had done the right thing 11 months ago. Any chance they can take some of their “quality” players with them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.Why? A Levein puppet, who when sent out to the big wide world of football management, crashed and burned. Why is he so highly rated? Agree with this. Don’t think he’d be as bad as the likes of Hughes or Hartley but he performed terribly without Levein holding his hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
