The rest of it sounds great, but the above points are rather worrying..

[Ardiles]

Very interesting.  Doesn't answer all the questions, but it's a good enough start.

I think I'll wait until the dust settles before commenting!  Sturrock's reaction to all this will be key.

 Go steady there, you'll be saying Sturrock is on his way next......

I try and keep my concerns for things I know about!

I can't think of one succesful football team that's run by commitee.

Sturrock was employed as Manager, not first team coach.

With this change in his job role, will his contract have to be re negotiated?

 Maybe they could give him a pay rise foir a loss of job status....the reality is whether you regard it as non factual, Sturrock is dead in the water under this regime,  and its just a case of how messy it gets, before he goes.....1 win in 5 is not looking good.

So basically Paul Sturrock is not in charge any more???

[Ardiles]

That's what the man said.

That's what it sounds like...................

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

The only thing i am concerned about is Sturrock leaving. Well ok let's be honest i'm still a bit concerned about the others staying on too. What is going on with Mike D as well? And this new stadium. Ok that's fair enough that they cannot reveal just where it is yet but they could be feeding us bullshit and it could be anywhere.

[Spud]

Will Sturrock,Veiga & Little be having a face off using the Paper,Rock & Scissors method to see who gets to pick the team each week?

Spoof

[Panda Paws]

This is all getting worse and worse the more I hear about it, to be honest. I've had a really bad feeling from the outset and it's just getting worse.

Don't worry, we'll soon have one of those carbon copy soulless bowl's of a stadium.
