oneteaminglasgow Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 There we go. No word on how long his contract is for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 It was always going to be Doolan until the end of the season. Surprised he’s been made permanent as quickly. Also strange there’s no comment on how long his contract is for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'd have given it another few games to see how it went but pleased for Doolan. Looks like Paul McDonald will be going back to his academy role since he's still only interim assistant so I wonder who will be coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Strange they didn't say it was until end of season then take stock? That certainly seemed the consensus of fans I've talked to or interacted with on social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 It’d be daft if it wasn’t til the end of the season initially, either way pleased for Kris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) I think this is a bit hasty - on the assumption it's beyond the end of the season- but as I mentioned before it does allow us to at least plan for next season if so. Edit : would be some laugh if he binned Bannigan halfway through his testimonial year. Edited March 3, 2023 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjameos Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Refreshing to see you have gone down this route rather than appoint one of the usual suspects (who have failed elsewhere). Club legend, hope it works out for him except, obviously, against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Strange they haven’t announced length of contract but it’s a no brainer for me. He has revitalised a struggling team. Think most fans thought we were out of things after the back to back defeats against Hamilton and Cove but a victory tomorrow, in what will be a tough game, will really put us back in the mix especially with QP playing Mutton! March will be crucial with Roath Ravers, Mutton, Dungdee and ICT on the agenda. No easy games there!!

Jacky1990 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Has the length of contract been mentioned anywhere? I hope I'm wrong, but really not sure Dools is the right man long term. Fine til end of the season, but would have prefered someone else in tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but then McCall’s wasn’t either was it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colliedug Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'm in the camp of " I don't want him getting the job cos when it goes wrong, I personally don't want to give him grief cos he was a legend" but I've thought more on it & he seems to talk well when asked anything but the defining thing will be his signings. Always remember no matter what manager or what team it is, all managers can't last forever at one team, the greatest managers in the world get sacked or move on if they do well at a certain level. So on that thought I'm willing to get right behind Dools and forget all the usual shite managerial merry go round & look forward to the future, c'mon the jags 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have to look at the distain Archie or Gerry or Roughy is now held in to see how it can all go wrong pretty quickly. Always though McCall would make a good DOF type as his signings tend to be pretty decent, just seems to lack tactically and in game management. Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Is Archie really faced with disdain in our support? Speaking personally, I still have a lot of respect for Archibald for what he did for this club, both as a player and as a manager. He should have probably walked/been sacked before he was during his stint as manager, but for the majority of his 5+ years he was really good in the dugout. Most people I speak to feel the same. Britton and Rough's legacies at the club aren't remotely comparable to Archie's, imo. Britton was a legend, but there's only so long you can make a mess of things in completely different ways before you become intolerable. A shite performance as a manager can be forgiven; subsequently turning the club into a shambles off the pitch and continually getting promoted for it, before latching yourself onto the despicable Jacqui Low despite the majority of the fanbase's open disdain for her really wasn't a great look for him. Alan Rough is an entirely different one again, in that he doesn't really give a shit about Partick Thistle and we've just been a vehicle for him to stay relevant over the past couple of decades. If Kris Doolan goes in either the Britton or Roughie direction in the next 20 years, then maybe that will tarnish his reputation, but I'd be willing to go out on a limb and suggest that he's nothing like either of those types of character.
