He wasn’t going to stay at AU forever constantly losing his best players and having his budget reduced. Five years is a good return for the chance you gave him. 22 minutes ago, ayrmad said: What more do you want from the man, we've fired folk on the buroo at the drop of a hat before, loyalty goes both ways and only ever goes so far, I've no doubt that he was genuine in his utterances about Lachlan and Ayr for the vast majority of his tenure, Unfortunately the situation at Partick and his new found ambition have fallen at the same time. I'm just hoping his new found ambition isn't the 1st signs of his demons returning, can't ever take them for granted. Good post, a crown of thorns and a good flogging won't be enough for some. Of course I wasn’t expecting him to stay forever. In regards to the loyalty thing it was more about how he went about it. Someone on another thread said McCall knew he was leaving last Tue, yet a few days later he was saying he was torn over the situation. Bullshit like that grates Edited September 26, 2019 by Thereisalight.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit like that grates Look at it from his point of view, he would no doubt prefer not to burn all his bridges, everyone does similar rather than hurt people's feelings, it's unfortunate that our best manager since I was a lad has seemingly left some I'll feeling behind. I'm more disappointed in Britton and Co, leaking it in the manner they did to deflect away from their dismal performance on Saturday is a bit shite and very unprofessional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes me wonder if he was 100% focused on us whilst Caldwell was combusting. Was he casting an eye Firhill way and hoping they’d need a new manager imminently? I agree on your second point. The fact the Daily Record and Raman from STV we’re tweeting about his appointment before both clubs did left a bad taste 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the reality is it's the attraction of the West End. A job that is close to his home and his part time consultancy job. It's what every 50 something wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the Daily Record and Raman from STV we’re tweeting about his appointment before both clubs did left a bad taste I've no doubt that he was casting an eye to the Partick situation, he's only human. I can totally understand how he felt after last season, I was gutted at our lack of extra budget mid season, we were clearly the only challengers to County last season until we could only bolster our squad with players of a lesser quality than we required, the same is happening this season, we've got a team that if added to correctly could take us to the top tier, ain't going to happen sadly. I don't blame Lachlan for that, I'm all for spending what we can afford but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Chief1 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 With regards to the timing, it wouldn't surprise me if McCall and Thistle spoke the previous weekend at Doolan's testimonial game. A couple of days later, Caldwell is punted and then we hear McCall is considering the job and he has got 2 assistants already lined up to start with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
