“Don’t get me wrong, it was a big decision to leave Partick Thistle,” he said. “I was offered the head coach role and Mark (Wilson) was going to be the assistant. I wish them well next year, it’s no hard feelings. I wish Mark and the players who are still there and whoever comes in a really good season next year. But when I said at the tail end of the year that if I wasn’t taking the manager’s job or I wasn’t getting the manager’s job, it was going to be really difficult for me to go into the changing room, I still stand by that. And when I got the opportunity to take the job on, then there’s a few things that... It’s head coach, you’re not actually the manager, you’re a head coach and I don’t think that was for me. That’s one of the reasons why I decided, do you know what, I want to just go and play for another year.
