javeajag Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 6 minutes ago, KemoAvdiu said: I said I suspect the Chairman wrote it. I didn’t present it as fact. I presented it as my hunch. No I can’t predict the future. It’s pretty clear the chances of Erskine leaving are high, though. And it’s pretty clear the reasons for that are that Caldwell wants him gone/doesn’t rate him. To me that’s poor judgement, a bad decision, and I’m perfectly entitled to describe it as such. What’s the basis for thinking Caldwell wants him gone etc ?

I suspect they wrote it and the Chief Exec signed it off, as is normal practice. Maybe erskine agreed the content? I may as well speculate too.

scotty Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I heard a rumour that Thistle fans on here are spreading rumours that may or not be true. And if this rumour turns out to be true I reserve the right to say I told you all so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read the statement, I’ve never heard a club put out a statement like that ( respect etc ) , obviously knowing that possibly things that should have stayed in-house haven’t They seem to be backpedaling at speed knowing the backlash they are going to get , I have no idea why they would put that on our Official Site Somebody else posted on this site for Chris Erskine to hang around , if we don’t win on Saturday against Falkirk I doubt Caldwell will be around for much longer as the fans will go against Caldwell and the Board big time . Chris Erskine still has a part to play with us , so he should run his contract down and see what happens, I’m sure if it didn’t work with us he would get another team without a problem. Caldwell is absolutely clueless, in a situation that we’re in just now , you should want your senior pros to set an example by giving 100% on the park , be motivated to get us out the mess we’re in and to help the younger players when the pressure mounts which it undoubtedly will . I’m definitely in the Chris Erskine camp and I hope he sticks it out . What a mess they’re making of our Club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
