earwig Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Nah, this isn't down to finances. Over the last month or so, Sean Dickson's often been the first player substituted, regardless of how he's been playing or how the match has been going (it certainly seems that way, anyway). He was taken off around the hour mark against Forfar Athletic and reacted badly (I wasn't there so I couldn't say what he did exactly, but apparently he threw something in the dugout - that said, show me a player who's ever happy to be taken off). Scott Booth met with him through the week and advised him he'd be dropped for the match with Ayr United and to stay away from Ochilview over the weekend. As the conversation developed, Booth advised him he was welcome to find a new club as it would suit them both. I think he'll have joined East Fife because of his friendship with Alan Cook (the pair stay quite close to one another). It's not down to finances - Stenhousemuir are stuck with an autocratic manager who appears unable to take any form of criticism and dissent. Anyone with a personality has been excised from the club - John Gemmell, Sean Higgins, Nicky Devlin, Scot Buist and now Dickson - and replaced with a supine youngster Booth can talk at. Dickson has been at Stenny for seven years and played under four different managers and got on well with all of them, and his performances have improved year on year. He scored 12 goals in all competitions last year, including ten in the league - how many other midfielders boasted the same record? Granted, he hasn't had the same impact this year but he's been undermined by a manager unprepared to work with him. Dickson was dropped earlier in the season, with Booth citing his "inconsistency"; when he returned to the starting XI a couple of weeks later, he scored one and set up the other in a 2-1 home win over Greenock Morton. Booth is turning out to be a catastrophe for Stenhousemuir on a number of levels and, for me anyway, the decision to release Dickson is the straw that broke the camel's back. Booth is an unpopular, divisive individual and I don't think I've ever been so appalled with a manager before. Toss in the debacle about the club's finances - which I still can't get my head around - and the whole place stinks. I don't think I've ever been so disillusioned following the Warriors before. Dickson has not been up to his old self lately and throwing a tantrum because he was taken off is not very professional,he was the not the only player that was taken off week after week at the same time 68-74 minutes take a look at the stats. and take off your Stenny blinkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
