ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Got to wonder how you get rid of Grant - doubt he’s cheap and he definitely isn’t resigning this is surely his last shot at management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way you get rid of any manager. Pay up and hand over the p45. Aye, it costs money, but we’ve used that excuse before and ended up worse off through low crowds and dropped prize money than a compensation package ever would do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did what you've done once; held no interviews and we appointed our just retired captain, and we got relegated. Edit - Moyes to United was a high profile example of the same type of thing.

Maybe, but given that he thought his CV which consisted of “got Alloa relegated” blew everyone out the water, I doubt Peter Grant sees it that way. And there’s almost certainly another chairman out there daft enough to give him a shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guarantee he was cheap. It’s one of the main reasons he was appointed. Hiring Peter Grant for a lot of money when he was unemployed and achieved nothing in the game would be bordering on corruption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not going to come good, get fucking rid. We’ve lost 3 games in a row by 3 or more 4 times in 25 years(that’s as far back as COWS goes, I cba looking further back) once under Calderwood, which included 2 games vs Celtic. Once under Kenny, often brought up as the worst spell in modern times Once under McIntyre when we were clearly out of our depth in the SPL. The current shitstorm. Thats it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The board can either pay him out his contract, which won’t be that dear as he won’t be on an awful lot more than what Alloa were paying him, or they can sit back watch crowds drop to about 2k every Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not attending games will spark the Board into action far quicker than folk shouting mean things at them inside EEP. I promise I’ll go buy a ST if they sack Grant and hire Petrie before Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Reading Paul Watson's post match interview gives a truer version of what the reality is at the moment. Describes the team as 'all over the place''. PG harps on about our league cup form but Watson points out that they were lesser teams. PG tried the Covid excuse, but Watson says that training was no different. Said that they prepared for the game the same but it's just not working. Get a sense from that interview that Watson is not impressed with Grant. On being asked about 3 or 4 at the back he highlights ''it's not me that picks it. It's completely down to the manager. It's his decisions and he decides what go out and try to do''. Sounds more to that answer than him responding to the question.

Stellaboz Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Also mentions a lack of confidence.For a team aiming to win the league, at home to a part time side, that says it all.If Grant isn't gone by the time I'm heating up my lunch today, itll be a farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The Nisbet situation could go a long way to determine why happens with Grant. £1mil+ from Hibs and it’s “fire at will” for Grant. Without that? It’s either pay him off and promote from within or seek a handout from a director and is that really the business model we want to see? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly whomever had a hand in the decision to bring him in should stump up the cash to release him from his contract. This should not reflect on our budget, given how awful a decision it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islay Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If Grant isn't sacked today then I really don't know what to say. We have Paul Watson, on the club's official website, stating the following: "If I was out there I would have booed as well. It wasn’t good enough and as I said I just felt that the team was just all over the place". He then goes on to state Grant is talking pish about Covid being a factor for the defeat a few paragraphs later, and that he was only playing yesterday because Ross Graham/Leon Jones/Rhys Breen have Covid symptoms or are having to isolate. We then leave our best right back on the bench for the entire 90 minutes, which is just baffling. The warning signs are there in plain text, the board can't seriously read that interview from a player and think Grant can turn this around - he's lost the dressing room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 In fairness, I believe Grant also mentioned that he would have reacted the same way as the fans. Quite telling that Watson doesn’t even pretend to say they’re full behind the manager etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
