Rumour : Durrant has Gone.

Still think to this day that Simpson had a determined look that he was going deliberately into that tackle.

He destroyed the career of a truly gifted player. he should have been banned for life and even possibly jailed.

 

And the idiocy of it all is that Aberdeen fans have somehow managed to turn Simpson into the victim - and they wax lyrical about him ruining the career of one of Scotland's best EVER talents. Yes, I believed Durrant was THAT good.

What a player he was. I think it was against Aberdeen in the 3-3 draw, where he really demonstrated his talents and we became aware of the gem that we had. Unfortunately Simpson destroyed his career with that disgraceful tackle and he never again regained that ability he had shown prior to the injury.

 

As a coach though, I can't say that he will be overly missed. Obviously MW has got someone in mind who hopefully is able to provide that bridge for the youngsters to progress from U20 into the first team. That has to be the club's prerogative going forward.

 

Anyway, if true can only wish Ian every thing of the very best in his future career.

Yes I saw that last night. They were also saying he was on 6.000 pound a week. Ludicrous for a reserve team coach.

 

That is an insane salary for a non-head coach/manager in Scotland. No wonder Durranty was all smiles when I met him last October....

 

Not his fault to be fair that someone would pay an obscene salary for a U20's coach.

Even as a monthly wage it is a tidy sum,
