Diamonds are Forever Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) The cynic in me thinks that 'personal reasons' is a mutual attempt to make both Skelton and the board come out of this looking okay. Admitting it was a sacking would make the Queens board look nuts, and give Skelton a sacking on his CV, personal reasons is suitably ambiguous enough for no-one to really point any blame and for everyone to pretend it never happened.

Distant Doonhamer Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The announcement would suggest he hasn`t been sacked. Personal reasons stated, not even the usual mutually agreed. Time will tell I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overthetop Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Club well and truly in a downwards spiral. So much for early season optimism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Fitting that his departure is following the similar clusterfuck manner of his appointment.I didn't think he should have been appointed in the first place, but having given him the gig the board should probably have backed him for a bit longer. You have to wonder how attractive a proposition we'll be seen by prospective managers after the harsh treatment of Fowler and Skelton.Happily take a defeat on Saturday now if it stops Thomson getting the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Sorry...what does this mean? This absolute mentalist has maybe misinterpreted this? Just explain... That posting a topic up in big capital letters could come back and bite you on the arse, pretty simple tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Wow. That's a bit of a shocker. I'd say Skelton clearly wasn't happy and he's made the decision to walk away. No part of me thinks he has been asked to leave given our history of not sacking managers. Look how long it took them to get rid of Iain Scott. Genuinely hope Gav finds work quickly and I'm sure he will. From our point of view I hope whatever is going on is dealt with. Manager's don't just give up a salary for no good reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Is this just a Championship and below thing? There have been threads about Jim McIntyre and Paul Hartley possibly losing their jobs in the Premiership section for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupid when something big like this happens, that it gets hidden away in a place only the interested will look in. It kind of defeats the multi-club idea of the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Skelton and wish him well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It quite clearly merits a thread of its own. Aye, I wouldn't even have known it happened had it not been for a separate thread being created in the first instance. There are countless worthwhile discussions that would get valid contributions from supporters of different clubs being missed out on through being whacked into one giant club specific thread. Fans of other clubs don't generally enter as no one gives a f**k about under-19 results or awards for long serving pie stall staff at other clubs, whereas everyone cares about managerial changes or financial meltdowns which are clearly worthy of their own threads. Anyway, Skelton. Bizarre stuff. With 'personal reasons' being used in the official statement you don't want to speculate about what those might be, but there is the suggestion from some places - Gibson - that personal reasons aren't actually anything to do with it. *insert obligatory Jim McInally/James Grady/Jimmy Calderwood/Rowan Alexander picture here* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
