I am sure it was mentioned on here at the time. This. I'm a million miles from being in the know, but I first heard about it back in August, the same day we played Rangers. It's also been a thinly veiled topic on here and is something that loads of people in town, whether Queens fans or not, have been talking about. It's inconceivable that anyone with a say, has just recently learned of the allegation. Edited December 21, 2022 by Monkey Tennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kunter Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Given the way the BOD usually work, IE the cheap option then we've already got the new manager in place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baghdad_QoS Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 As I said before the sacking, the board were in a no win situation here, and reading the comments cements this. If results had us sat at the top of the table it would have been a huge ask but aggravated racism at anytime, not just football isn't tolerated. Yes he hasn't had his trial yet, however we all know this mud sticks guilty or not guilty. The club, results focused or not, have to think in the best interests here and with an important window coming up, would a) clubs set for loaning to us or b) players themselves engage with a club in the midst of this trial coming up? I am completely gutted for WG to be losing his job as he is a true Queens fan but as a 'business' you cannot blame the board 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few saying it but I've never really thought of him like that. He's been with us since his teens and given a large part of his playing career to us. I did see him in the past at Palmerston watching games when he was with other clubs. I don't think he'll necessarily be a fan in the traditional sense but he'll have a strong affinity with the club. It's a really sad end to his time with us tbh and if true what was said then he only has his own stupidity to blame for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Blue Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Being bored of the usual list of candidates touted, and trying some blue sky thinking - a name not being mentioned (and probably a very very long shot tbf) - that Tam Courts fella is back from Hungary and kicking his heels. He took United to 4th in the top league before trying the Honved gig (was always going to be a very risky/short lived venture that). Now the obvious view will be that we are now far too lowly for him to consider ... but he's someone who needs to boost his CV again if he's going to get another gig amongst the big boys. He was only an academy coach at United before being promoted to the top job, so just maybe he'd tolerate a lower income/budget for a spell to demonstrate his capabilities again and resurrect his stalled career - might be a win-win for both parties? Now, I have to admit I've no idea what he's like as a manager - would need some of our P&B Arab friends to enlighten us on that score. Knowing Queens of course, as others have said, we'll probably take our usual simple route of just promoting Grant Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Always gives me a sense of dread, promoting the Assistant of a "failed" Manager. I have the feeling that they are part of the problem of a team underperforming. Ok, the Manager has the final say but Murray was appointed for his experience so presumably Wullie consulted him on players, tactics, etc. Also, this situation is a bit similar to Magic getting the bullet when his son played for us, will Lewis Gibson show the same commitment that Max Johnston did at that time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays the most boring and unimaginative football on the planet. However, he was really keen on giving youth a chance which could come in handy for a club like us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just trying to think who might be out there that don't find there way onto the usual "desperate candidates" list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 If Grant Murray ditches the three at the back shite, he'll get bonus points from me. My big worry generally isn't how uninspiring the rumors are, but how even worse the reality will be. Merry Christmas everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, brilliant ... maybe Ian (laptop) Cathro will join the rumours eventually too - although I think we're safe there as he's enjoying big bucks out in Saudi having followed Nuno Espirito Santo there from Wolves ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
