Deserves more time though, obviously. Based on that you'd win 9 games this season. Only two teams managed less in the Championship last season.

professor challenger Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 McCall interviewed on Radio Scotland ; Just couldn't sit in Archie's chair. Absolutely not taking the job. Hopes to be back at Firhill one day in some capacity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should I respect respect someone who wants a person sacked from their job less than a quarter into a season? Without having suggested a suitable replacement or even hinted who that might be? It's simple. Archie should have been given until the end of the season or until he decided that he couldn't turn it around. You should have been proper Thistle supporters and backed him. If it didn't work out, at least you would feel like you gave him a chance. You are no different to the baying morons that litter Scottish football. As an outsider you might be willing to answer me some questions. Archibald finished 6th in the top flight with Thistle in 16/17. Great. An unquestionable achievement. 17/18 was complete arse where no form came from anywhere. Couldn't string results together at all. Ended up beaten in the playoffs by a Livingston team who probably still have a smaller budget than Thistle now, were out-worked, out-coached and out-played by them. There's been pretty much no change in form or performances since dropping down a league and playing weaker teams. Why should Archibald have stayed? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 As you can see from my posting history, i don't spend too much time here. I find it's largely a place for the moronic element of the Thistle support to hang out, with a dozen or so notable exceptions. The last few weeks have been difficult for any supporter but I remain loyal to the guy who got us promoted, brought us a decent season after season and someone i believe in. He was the Thistle manager. As such, he was bound to make mistakes and do unfathomable stuff. Just like Lambie did before him. And Auld before him. And McParland before him. He and the players should have been given time to take responsibility for it and sort it out. However, as fans, some people need to take a good look at themselves. It is an indisputable fact that a high percentage of Thistle fans have not a clue, sadly they are usually the drink fuelled clowns that shout loudest on a Saturday. To those who wanted Archie sacked, give me the name of the replacement and guarantee he'll make progress, on and off the field and i'll sign up. I note that there seems to be a shortage of names being bandied about. Archibald did bring us success but that doesn’t mean he’s unsackable. He was given time to turn it around and we got relegated. He was then given more time and it’s clear we weren’t going back up. We’d gone stale under him and have regressed massively which meant it was time for a change.What makes you think that you have more of a clue than the majority of our fans or the board does?I gave you names of my preferred replacement which you didn’t respond to. Can I guarentee that they’ll be an improvement? Obviously not. We could bring in Guardiola or Klopp and it wouldn’t guarantee it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Bonnet Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I once referred to Red Monkey as the Chic Charnley of the old PT.net Forum...capable of moments of brilliance but with a high chance of a vicious atrocity...he was always box-office but back then he was a rebel regularly berating the Board and Management and also Thistle fans for accepting mediocrity. He in now like Chic Charnley in his fourth spell at Firhill - he shouldn't have come back. I thought Archie merited to the end of last season and it was to the credit of the Club and Supporters that he was then given a reprieve. In hindsight, it would have been better if he had left then - our first choice defence this season includes Elliot, Keown and McGinty none of whom look to be good enough to be in a promoted team...and we have no other options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmember Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Imo it was the correct time for Archie to move on . I know its hard to bin someone who has a great connection to the club Who next I don't have the answers Duffy not sure Hartley no no Lennon possible McIntyre yes Elvis possible Mccoist possible Stubbs no no. I feel sorry for Steve Aitken at Dumbarton he done a great job at the club over the 5 years at sons But to big a gig for him at thistle My gut feeling Jim Duffy would be a safe bet but am not sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm to you, Partick are a team I've a lot of time for. The Championship is the highest league you're going to be in next season and that is far from certain at the moment, as sad as it is to see a legend leave, when their time is up it's up, I loved Ally McLeod to bits but when he left Ayr for the last time there were no tears of regret just gratitude. Time to stop the meltdown and making your club look like a basket case, he's away, deal with it without making a c**t of yourself and your team.

colliedug Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'll admit i liked Archie he got a lot of things wrong last season but i had hoped he would have done the decent thing and stepped down at the end of the season but the board decided to keep him and he said all the right things but i wasn't totally convinced but willing to give him a chance but it became apparent he couldn't change our fortunes and not for the first time i might add. I personally won't forget the good times as a player, manager and commitment he gave but his time had to come to an end and rightly so and probably longer than he deserved.Lets no forget players, managers, coaches and board members all come and go but us as fans support our club for the top that goes out on the park on a saturday or because we are non bigoted in a bigot filled city or for whatever reason we choose but lets get behind the club in what i would call a very critical time for all concerned with the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
