Lenziejag Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 1 hour ago, jagfox said: The decision was taken after the Cove game. That is fairly common knowledge. So you are correct, but didn't need such a lot of deduction. McCall was genuinely shocked so it wouldn't have been in place for any longer than the week before as things have a habit of leaking at football clubs. As I stated, seems a member of current board didn't buy into what McCall was achieving. As did many fans. We move on. Of course it did. You were questioning me - so I had to respond. Now, the board can do the same and tell us what their strategy is and how it will be achieved. If they have seen something in Doolan, that’s great - otherwise it will look like a piece of luck on their part if he stays in post. By the way, I hope he is an outstanding success.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 (edited) I'm not too sure that an Interim Board will have much in the way of strategic planning. Looks to me that they felt compelled to sack McCall for footballing reasons. Apart from the actual timing his dismissal in comparative terms with other Scottish clubs was hardly a shock. Perhaps purely financial reasons are a component but in any case because they are an Interim Board they may view the future management of the Club as strategic? Best left for the short term till there's a level of permanency about the Board. If McCall & Co had resigned, I wouldn't be questioning the "Doolan till the end of the season" option. I'd be accepting the view that appointing a new manager was not the sort of decision an Interim Board should be making.

Third Lanark Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 It’s been mentioned that Scott McDonald has applied. Like Doolan a complete professional and although a far far shorter timescale when he was with us conducted himself impeccably and gave his all for the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an absolute stand out for us at a bad time. 100% commitment and a very talented and clever player. Worth a punt if it doesn’t go to Dools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Has McDonald done any coaching since he returned to Australia. I know that was his intention, but I thought he had been playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total professional. Now a Scott & Kris combination could be very interesting indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibble Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Caley lose twice to accies in a week - accies maybe not that bad - no guarantees in this league - Doubt they will panic and sack Dodds - they could still make top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
