No_Problemo Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The club may have been happy to employ him on a rolling contract on the off chance that he was sacked, in which case it would have been cheaper to pay him off than if he was on a long-term contract.He would have been given this season regardless of we started poorly anyway so not really any reason for him to not at least have a one year contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSN Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 All comes down to money. Owen Coyle would not be cheap. Wouldnt go for Peter Murphy either. Would like Derek Adams if we can afford him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I think too much is being read into the rolling contract. Whether he was on that or a 2 year deal, Cameron has always said he wouldn’t stand in his way. It’s lower league Scottish football so it’s never going to be more than a 5 figure sum of compo. Very much doubt the figure we’ll get would change had he been on a “proper” contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Surprised McCall ain't been announced at Partick yet, thought it would have been first thing this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they are going to announce until compensation is discussed , as technically McCall is not yet their manager , he has not been sacked or resigned as far as I am led to believe from us , he has accepted their offer but more to it than that , he has only recently left Somerset so likely announce when he is actually at Firhill Edited September 23, 2019 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Has anyone suggested someone that was a poor manager at their club yet? That’s always a laugh. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him first time round, but he was the anti-McCall in that his teams laboured to 2nd place in League 1, got promoted and were swiftly relegated but he had decent cup runs. His teams played boring football at times too. McCall was the opposite. A couple of really good league campaigns, an exciting team but disappointment in the cups. The leagues are our bread and butter and I'll always take a good campaign there over the cups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it was only the Scottish cup that gave McCall trouble and mostly because we enter during the annual winter swoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Means a new manager who comes in will be able to pick his own assistant Sandy Stewart will stay unless the new manager doesn't want him I guess. Owen Coyle, John Hendry as assistant and Sandy Stewart as coach, they were a team at Blackburn.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Sandy Stewart #1 for me but frankly anyone coming in who can promote and continue playing the type of football that we're accustomed to. Let's be honest, we won't tolerate hoofball at Somerset, never have done and never will................ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr23 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Can I just ask what the obsession is with John Henry? He was a good coach with us so could help to steady the ship in this post McCall era? (If it needs steadying). Knows the place, and has worked relatively successfully with some of the current playing staff. Just a thought on this strange day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer someone is away from the club the fonder the recollection of him is. Same with injured players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
