You’re clearly better than us currently - thanks to the dearly departed Caldwell - but McCall loves Thistle and has said before he has unfinished business, plus we are (despite our current situation) clearly a bigger club. Maybe your correct but I have my doubts, yeah he has stated he loves Thistle band gas unfinished business but he has also said Ayr will be his last managers job and wanted to move upstairs, your club is in turmoil no money for buses eg and the potential new owners don't exactly come across so far as they are going to pump money in and last of all and most importantly he's got young guys as Ayr running through brick walls for him I think as he's got older he's all about setting an example and I don't think he's going to up and leave them and show that there is no loyalty bin Football anymore. McColl is a championship manager and will never do anything above that level. If Thistle want to get back to the great games between them and Killie they should look elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller with Doolan as an assistant, lets get that rumour started. Whatever manager they get, him bringing back Doolan as an assistant/player would be a good way to get the fans on his side. Can see that happening more than McCall taking over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people wonder why Scottish football is the shite state of affairs it’s in when Killie vs Partick Thistle was once viewed as a “great game of football”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 If Shankland can leave us for another Championship side, then it wouldn't be the biggest shock the world's ever seen, if McCall left for a club that's clearly close to his heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland honoured his contract with us, continued to try his hardest and left for a team offering him much more money / security and realistically a team who everyone expects to be promoted, as such he left with my best wishes. On the other hand, we're only 5 matches into the season, our Manager has always been quick to ask the fans for this that and the other whether that be purchasing season tickets or travelling to away matches or creating an atmosphere at games etc etc and the fans (that's us) have done as he's asked, so in McCall's case I'd feel completely cheated / let down / disappointed and ultimately very angry if he left us in the lurch to join a rival club in the middle of a season............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue that we haven’t. The fans that do go to away games go in really good numbers and create a good atmosphere, but at home we still don’t get the sort of crowds that a lot of fans claimed we would get as soon as we had a good team again so McCall would be well within his rights to be a bit disappointed that the “sleeping giant” chat really hasn’t come to pass at all yet despite how well he’s done to get us where we are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, we've more than doubled our home support since McCall's been here and this "sleeping giant" talk is just nonsense. I've had a season ticket at Somerset for 30 years and I've never seen our home support above 2,500 and we're not far away from that right now....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but from McCall’s (and Lachlan’s) point of view he’s been told by plenty of fans that we are this sleeping giant with a dormant fan base who’d turn up in droves once we were competitive again in looking to get back to the Premiership. We now are, but haven’t had this huge fan base turn out like he’d have expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness McCall shouldn't be in the least bit concerned with our support levels as he's more than enough to worry about on the park. I do get your point that it can impact his budget for players etc, but in the case of Thistle, they're in complete turmoil off the pitch just now so I wouldn't see that as a driver in any decision making on McCall's part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which then resulted in feyenoord lads coming over here and vice versa.met a couple of them when they were over last year for a home game which was a boring goalless draw against Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
