weeyin Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 If there was a conspiracy in place for SK to give up a 1 year salary pay out to join Thistle on a, no doubt, lesser wage, then it sounds like a plan cooked up by Pinky and the Brain. Putting the "abuse by fans" excuse aside for a moment, it felt like SK was running out of ideas for us and that was turning into frustration with everyone from the refs and the media to VAR and, of course, the fans. I don't think he was lined up for the sack, but the resignation didn't surprise me too much. He hadn't gone full "deer in the headlights" in his interviews, but he was heading in that direction. He was never going to be out the game for very long because that's just how football works. Whether it's at Thistle, Ross County, or some other club, it's odds on he'll have a new job by the spring.

Wonder if that's why his BBC buddies haven't handed him a gig. IF that is the case I would think the Thistle board might think again after that piece in The Sun. Their fans are not shrinking violets when it's not going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about leaving us being part of it? He was out of work. He does an interview saying he would love to be back in work. Thistle sack Doolan. Thats convenient.

Even those that defended him to the hilt have lost interest. Old news. In wimmer we trust The more he continues with this, the more he's blackening the clubs name and laughing in the face of the folk who supported him to the hilt when results and performances were awful, and those at the club who backed him even after he departed. It's a funny thing, but he was a manager that I didn't have a huge opinion on, he done some good things, some crap things, had moments of success and large periods of pish...he waffled a lot, but I felt he was more often than not, a good representative for the Club. Any good work he done on the clubs behalf has been forgotten now by the majority of the fans, and the poor work he done pails into insignificance by his behaviour since the day that he resigned. His narcissistic traits have poured to the fore, and his all out attack on the clubs fans have only been a tactic to deflect away from the fact that he was simply struggling to find the answers to get us out of the rut that he has left us in...the number of players we have currently signed at the Club is absolute testament to the fact that he had lost the run of himself. His current self-promotion and publicity is designed to get him a gig elsewhere...and sorry to say, I hope it fails miserably. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 He’s full of shite and this entire “boo-hoo the fans forced me out” nonsense was just a smokescreen to preserve his own reputation and deflect from the fact that he had ran his course, the team he built was on its arse and the football was dismal. But he’s gone now and we move on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
