Not sorry to see Leish go

Last updated : 08 August 2003 By Dov

Well, Jim Leishman has decided to show us where his true colours lie. At East End Park. I, for one, am not sorry to see him go.

He made a complete hash of last season and has left the new boss with a hard job to turn things around.

I warn the Pars fans, it’s only a matter of time before Jimmy Calderwood is forced out the door and Leishman takes over. Division One then beckons.


There has also been the rather controversial and bitter departure of Julian Maidana. I suspect that Maidana’s reason for leaving was more to do with money than any personal problems with Barcellos.


If Barcellos was really discriminating against Argentineans, do you really think that he would have built his attack around Pasquinelli?

I applaud the management in freeing Maidana, if a player doesn’t want to play for us, show them the door.
