McAllister had a contract so it’s unlikely he would just leave as that would mean he wouldn’t get a payoff. If his services are no longer required his contract would be terminated- ie sacked Wouldn't the favoured term be "released ".? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Andersons dietician Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Jamie Mac sacking being announced pre an appointment is weird. Normally backroom changes get announced along with an appointment. Are they trying to make some rubbish point that it isn’t a continuation of the previous failed regime?! ...before announcing Holden in a day or two?

Fordy62 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I like to think Macca was sacked in a similar fashion to when Alan Partridge sacks his team at pear tree productions... And you’re sacked Macca for having lovely thick hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 22 minutes ago, headhunter said: Maybe Lee has a job lined up and tapped up McAllister, there was a leak and the club have decided to jettison? That seems about the least likely explanation to me. If McAllister was offered a second in command role elsewhere whilst under contract to us we would be due compensation, which we have just forfeited by sacking him. Absolutely no indication that LJ is about to take over anywhere, either. It can only be because either Holden is required to bring in a more experienced assistant when he takes over (this would also rule out Williams in that role for me) or a new man is only being allowed to bring one coach with him, meaning either Jamie Mac or Holden had to go.

That’s what the club might say when it makes an official announcement (in several weeks time) to make it sound more palatable. As G MacG hasn’t got an official announcement from City he’s just used “sacked” as a convenient word. Of course I may be wrong and there might be some scandal lurking somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Interesting how Gregor has used the word ‘sacked’. You don’t really see that in media outlets anymore.

tin Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Complete shambles, particularly from a PR perspective.

Wouldn’t surprise me when they announce the new head coach there will be a small piece at the bottom talking about Macca’s departure. You get the feeling an announcement is close now.
