Cagey Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Sad to hear this. I have zero knowledge on the situation so I am merely speculating for the record, but I wonder if the club is after a younger coach. That's no slight on Tommy but I think if you can relate to the kids you're teaching and them you, that is half the battle. The bigger the generation gap, the harder that is. Really disappointing to see things turn sour there. Don't think he was a coach any longer. Just kit man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixties saintee Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Allegedly he did not leave of his own decision. It was a team decision not a club decision. it would also appear that his job went to an ex workmate of the manager allegedly! Think we might hear more of this during the tribunal.     Sad if true Family Club ?? saintbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintbear Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just for the record this was not Tommys decision to retire or leave his position plenty of life in him yet .this was not a club decision But a managerial shout Definitely not a team decision ask them high respect from them to TC Have to agree sixties it will come out.As you know Tommy is very old Sokool The ghost of Jim Morton, Kilgour, dave mc and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Col Kojak Slaphead III Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Can someone enlighten me as to why this is even worth discussing? we have let go an aging kitman from the Club. Yes he gave us some good service over the years but he wasn't doing it for free, he was employed and paid a wage accordingly. Now I have absolutely no idea of the ins of why he was let go and to be honest I dont particularly care, at the end of the day its not exactly going to have any direct impact on how the players perform on the pitch. I'm pretty sure the new guy is equally adept as TC was at pushing the buttons on the washing machine or ironing the kits ready for matchday.  Complete non story, if Tommy decided he wanted to bring someone new in to do that job thats his prerogative, this nonsense about us being a family club meaning anybody that works there has got a job for life is utter bollocks.  Tommy has maybe just done him a favour anyway, freeing up his saturdays now for him to go and support his beloved Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You summed your post up with the comment you dont care why he was let go ( for whatever reason } that is what has gone wrong with this country.  Sorry Rick not aimed at you but at Slaphead Edited August 10, 2015 by sixties saintee MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm guessing his contract was up and it wasn't renewed by the manager, who brought in his own man? Â Isn't that exactly what the players/other coaches have to go through each year? Â Obviously sorry to see him go and it's sad he's left on bad terms, but I'm not sure there's actually much of an issue here? Edit: I obviously don't know the whole story, so apologies if I've got that wrong. Kevin James Is On Stilts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm not sure I understand the issue either to be honest, certainly from a legal stand point. Â If his contract was a permanent one rather than a fixed term one, then that's obviously a different story all together. If his contract has been allowed to lapse and hasn't been renewed, then I'm disappointed the club haven't acknowledged his service to the club over the years. Even more so that he's left under a cloud and things have turned nasty. Â I hope Tommy and the club can resolve things amicably as the fans will remember him fondly I'm sure.

Tranmere Saintee Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 The above postings are why I asked people to be careful about what they post on this subject. Only a few people know what has actually transpired so most of the above is pure speculation. As usual we will leave the topic open for now so long as it doesn't become the usual bickering match.

MySpazz Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) G Brown put money and service into the club over 30 years...... no one "allowed" to question anything they/he do[es].... [note; not knocking brown...dare I! #justaaying] T Campbell put worklife, service, local representation into the club over 30 years........ but can GTF cos his contract was up.....according to some folk on here  He wasn't just the kitman, he played many roles at the club.....including, in many ways an ambassador for saints.....  Show some goodwill.... TC clearly didn't volunteer to go. And the job went to someone outside the local area, so that's one more on the perth unemployment stats!  I think it's sad to read TC is no longer at the club.
