It looks like the major casualty of Charlie Chritie's resignation is likely to be Donald Park.

The trend these days is for incoming managers to bring their own backroom staff which means that Donald might be made redundant at an age when it might prove difficult for him to get another position in the game.

That seems to me to be great shame given the loyalty he showed to the club when he had the opportunity to team up with Robbo at Livingston much more convenient for his Edinburgh base. I would like to think that the club will give due consideration to retaining the services of this competent and respected coach in some useful capacity when the new regime is in place.

One way to retain Donald would be to go for Robbo. Stating the obvious I know. I'll get my coat.

Parkie could stay....

Warnock's last assistant manager was Stuart MaCall who is now manager of Bardford City (?) plus he'd need someone with 'local' knowledge

Yeah....  :sillywave:

At least there would be some continuity. However, although Robbo took us into the SPL he has the worst record by far of any ICT manager in the top division.

Hopefully the club will reward Donalds loyalty.But Robbo  NO NO NO NO please. The circumstances of his last departure surely rule him out being a serious candidate. Even Brewster would be a better choice.

DP was offered the managers position before and turned it down ..... he may not want the limelight or feel suited to the role, but he was offered the chance to be in control of his own destiny.

Having said that, I would like to think that whoever came in might find a role for him. Of the names mentioned, it doesnt seem that many (if any) would have a backroom team they would take with them so maybe DP could offer continuity and local as well as team knowledge for the new gaffer.

Kingsmills, You have no need to be concerned, Donald Park WILL stay on as Craig Brewsters assistant !

Now that does concern me !

But Robbo  NO NO NO NO please. The circumstances of his last departure surely rule him out being a serious candidate. Even Brewster would be a better choice.

Eh? I don't recall Robbo's departure causing anything like the furore that Craigy Two-Faces' brought. The only significant differences between the two splits? Robbo didn't sound off about loyalty two months before effing off; and, in his first ever managerial post, he achieved something: he won the first division title. A little thing, I know...

Parky - well, as Scotty points out, he's been offered control of his destiny and turned it down. He's been around plenty long enough to know how these things go and, whilst not pleasant, I expect in that sort of position you've always got one eye on the door.

Kingsmills, You have no need to be concerned, Donald Park WILL stay on as Craig Brewsters assistant !

It's a done deal then Brew?? Well can't say i'll be happy to see your style of football back at Caley Stadium but i dont expect much else sadly

I fear that Warnock is a red herring.

Mrs Henry's mum been gossiping again Johndo?

I am a bit worried about Mrs Henry. She keeps repeating - My son has gone up the Clyde on a Banana Boat.
