    I sincerely hope you are wrong because I just thought he was in over his head just like Collins was your suspicions are much more sinister.

    If Rupp has stepped in then fine hopefully he has the ability to get the club on track.

    Worked at a Premiership club along side Tony Pulis I believe, not in work, what more could we ask for IMO a good candidate, but with Simon Parker saying the new man will be announced on Tuesday I'd think it's not any of the candidates put forward unless Edin & Stefan have been doing what they did when they got Grayson on board and knew Collins was going and sounded someone out..........................only one more sleep and we'l know.

    I thought he was still in work but apparently he walked out on Livingston when his contract was up in May.

    I do feel slightly sorry for him.

    We'll never know the circumstances that led to him getting the job but he took it on when others wouldn't.

    Hope he's got a decent pay off.

    Never a dull moment with Edin is it?

    Whatever has happened here, it seems the right choice. However I do feel very very sorry for Collins and also sorry that we have potentially lost a decent coach from the club.

    Really hope that the inevitable appointment of Hopkin manages to draw a line in the sand for some of the terribly negative and quite honestly, sh*tty and saddening comments I have read some of supporters writing about the coaching staff, owners, players and other club personnel. Granted, they have been across various platforms, however it has been sad to read what some fans have written.

    Quite sure this is the right decision, but I wish Collins well and hope this doesn’t deter his ambition to be a successful coach. For us, I hope this now kick starts our seasons and gets us moving in the right direction.

    It was on Twitter posted by Parker as a headline by the T&A I put it on here as soon as I saw it.
