    Gary Holt resigns

    That's an odd one.

    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Admittedly they're not doing great so far this season, but that's unexpected.

    Perhaps looking to take the Wigan job? They probably wouldn’t be in a position to pay compensation so he took the decision to resign?

    Watched his interview at the weekend and thought it was a bit strange when he said he was considering his future. Overall I think his record at livi has been far better than expected.

    'Goalkeeping coach Tony Caig....'

    Anyone else just experience an involuntary shudder when reading that name. Of all the awful keepers we have had he ranks somewhere close to the top of the list.

    Stop it, I'm having a horrible flashback of Caig in goals with Mark Dempsie marking De Vries....

    Nah, think Simon Brown, Maka, OLI, Zibby, Grame Smith.....Caig was pish, but not memorably so

    With Holt, there surely has to be something more behind the resignation. His record with Livi has been very good overall, although they are struggling this season. The sale of key players has undoubtedly been a factor in that, so maybe he feels he's taken them as far as he can and it's only going to go downhill.

    Were there not rumours that Holt and Miller were purely there as fronts for someone behind the scenes who can’t get a coaching badge?

    Nae idea pal. Holt has some pedigree as a coach and has done well at Livi (and Falkirk?). Who's the guy you're referring to, out of interest. TBF, Miller's appointment and subsequent resignation was a tad bizarre.

    Perhaps his top secret work for the military is taking up too much of his time.

    Still think that Martindale character pulls all the footballing strings at Livi.

    Fair play to GH but where does he go next? Brave decision to do what he did though.

    Here's what Marv said a couple of months ago when he got the job of Reserve manager.............

    “Obviously it’s a natural progression for me to go from coach to manager and I have to thank Davie (Martindale) and the club for trusting me in that position and it’s something I’m looking forward to.”

    Very odd indeed.

    Scottish Fitbaws worst kept secret that the convicted drug dealer pulls the strings.

    https://www.sundaypost.com/news/scot...o-drugs-crook/

    https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/s...cough-13178358

    I know a few guys/gals within the youth and girls setup [I am not ITK] and it is their community [they do great work all over West Lothian for a ****ing pittance] as well as their 40 odd fans I feel sorry for.

    Holt is a shrewd operator and will have no problem finding a new coaching gig.

    Dr Max's Fun Fact - He was discovered by Celtic scouts [alongside Justin Whittle - he has quite the story look it up when you get a minute] playing for the British Army XI.

    Something stinks at that club. Thank Christ have a professional forward-thinking corporate structure.
