Macari, Ardiles and Hoddle all left when better offers came along; I don't recall them being let down by the powers that be at the club. Di Canio left because he thought the board had undermined his position (presumably, though possibly not). I don't feel as though he has let me down, and I have no idea what the players may think.
A few gifted managers let us down by walking out for a better offer.
Most have belatedly been belatedly told to walk out after months of "I will not quit" pledges tolerated for too long to our despair by dithering boards.
Paolo has, when you look at his career and character, very predictably walked out on a point of principle.
It's a shame because here we are, more famous, hated, written about and let's face it envied than since we were last in the Premiershit, here we are top of tier 3 on an upward surge for the first time since Macari (I don't count McMuck, obviously).
Fan or otherwise of Andrew Black, he, not PDC has been the out-walker
As Doss's post reminds we have enjoyed a manager with a persona unmatched anywhere in management and who has shown uniquely among STFC managers a passion for our club.
Thanks for the memories
