County sack McStay - Calderwood in.

[kencar]

Heard that McStay has left the building after less than 3 months in charge!!

Wonder if Brewster is free?

[Yngwie]

Yep, now on offishul county site:

The board of Ross County FC tonight (Saturday 12 February, 2011) announced that the club has parted company with manager Willie McStay, with immediate effect.

The manager's departure follows a series of disappointing results in Ross County's First Division campaign.

Club Chairman Roy MacGregor and the manager discussed the situation following today's 0-0 draw with Stirling Albion and Mr McStay's departure was agreed by mutual consent.

The board would like to express their thanks to Mr McStay for his commitment and effort during his time at the club and wish him well for the future.

A recruitment process by the board to identify and appoint a new manager will begin straight away. In the meantime the club's Director of Football, George Adams, will assist with the running of first team affairs.

Maybe thier value on Highland monopoly will drop as a result!!!

Saving County may be a problem. Well Willie McStay has answered his own question - no he did not. DidnaStay went into Saturday's game clearly briefed by Barrowman and said: 'We can hand out a beating.' Well done Jocky Scott.

In a classic wind up the Inverness Courier reported: ''County, if they required a boost ahead of tomorrows game they need only recall their encounter last season against Stirling. County dispatched the Binos 9-0 on their run to the Scottish Cup final last year.''

Charlie Christie, that was a great report!

County have nosedived spectacularly since their heady days of last season. Thrashing us early in the season, running us close before wilting and a great Scottish Cup run, it's all taken it's toll on the poor wee souls'

They really are a mess at the moment, and if they are not careful, the next division down beckons.

Willie McStay?

No he won't.

[RiG]

Leaves after 9 (nine!) games! What a joke County are.

[RossP]

So who are the likely front runners for the job now?

Gus MacPherson?

Craig Brewster?

Its hilarious tho...long may their shambolic demise continue

We're on our Way - The Torridon song specially written for the journey into the Second Division

Long time ago it seems, November, since this journey began

We beat berwick rangers at home, we beat them 5-1

Then next to come was Inverurie, we beat them 4-0

it was their first competitive game and we left them feeling ill

we are the staggies and were on our way to the final

we are the staggies and were on our way to the final

Stirling Albion probably wish that they had never came

we gubbed them 9-0 and promptly sent them hame

then down to edinburgh and back we played hibernien

we outplayed them over the two games, and booked our place at hampden

we are the staggies and were on our way to the final

we are the staggies and were on our way to the final

We played Celtic in the semi final

2-0 it was the score

but anyone watching, theyd have to admit,

we should have probably scored four

We lost the final and lost our way,

We are the Staggies who sent Adams away

We gubbed Deveronvale, Barrowman scored two!

McStay joined us for the journey to Div Two

We're on our way farewell to Caley

Welcome Robbo our mate in East Fifee

We're on our way back the way, back the way,

We are the Mighty Staggies going back the way

Can someone save us the mighty drop?

Seven goals at home so far, Clippity Clop

Over the Bridge and Far Away,Back the Way

There's a hush at Vicky Park Today

Every Time we score a goal the Jailend roars

Its silent most weeks until Barrowman scores

We gubbed the Binos 9-0 last year

Yesterday we gubbed the Binos nil nil

We are the mighty Staggies slipping away

Back the way, while Mighty Caley slip away

We are the Mighty Staggies going back the way

Hello Robbo our mate in Fifee

I think Peanut & Bazza would turn County round.

[PaderbornCaley]

Would Bazza ever go back to County? I remember when Bobby got sacked, that was one of the main reasons Barry joined ICT. That was when McGregor took over. Is he still chairman?

[RossP]

BBC speculation

[RiG]

Gus MacPherson turned them down before so I am not sure they would go for him again.

Sutton at County would be an interesting one.

[Alex MacLeod]

I'm totally amazed and shocked that the BBC and fans of this site have not included in the shortlist Butcher and Malpas. Maybe the P&J wont let me down.

Edited February 14, 2011 by Alex MacLeod

[kencar]

Given the situation they find themselves I'd have thought they'd be looking for someone with experience

[TheKnowledge]

I hope Malpas isn't thinking of doing anything stupid here.
