Andrews contract may have been performance based so how do you come to the conclusion that a payout is required? Why would the club divulge its position publicly if legal negotiations are in place. I can imagine the criticising if they did and it costs a years salary.
However if the current speculation is true the head coach does have the right to choose his senior assistant and it would be disappointing if those individuals affected couldn't accept that decision.
I don't necessarily agree he deserved to be sacked based on the clubs results/performance this year but I accept we only see 1% of what happens in the life of a football club and just like I supported Andrews employment I will also support the new coach whoever that is. I also believe there is a fairly large difference between 'asking a question which I believe is justified and appropriate compared to criticising people based on gossip.
My biggest gripe with the club is that literally the entire state new of the decision including some posters on here who alluded to it weeks/months earlier. The decision was obviously made very early this week and was obviously a pre decided decision which is fine but...…………………..as has been a common theme in recent years the club didn't feel it was important that the fans knew whether the rumours were true or not. For Kris Grant to tell media outlets he was too busy and then produce a 30 word / 20 seconds to type statement was very disrespectful to the fans. If I was giving constructive critism and not taking pot shots at someone I would say I don't believe Kris Grant has adapted overly well to the needs/wants of the modern day customer/fan/member.
Kris is a living legend of our football club and imo either number 1 or 2 if you were to rank our clubs greatest servants. Laird being the other person.
