I see John has moved on from his coaching role at the club. Was very well thought off too!

Huge credit to the way he took over last season (twice).. All the best!

All the very best to John. He was massive for us when we were desperate, really sorry he’s leaving.

There`s a nice message from him on COWS so I presume this was a mutual decision. Coaches seem to have quite a short shelf-life at individual clubs.

“Today my time as a Coach at Dunfermline comes to an end. I leave wishing success to everyone involved both on and off the pitch.I would like to thank all the players for their commitment and effort during my time as their coach.

I would also like to thank the Fans for their vocal backing during my time as Interim Manager. Your passion, Loyalty and unwavering support will never be forgotten.”

Seems a bit of a weird one. I’m surprised this has happened.

Why is it weird, I take John’s message as simply I have enjoyed my time and time to move on (new role or retirement etc). Clearly the timing with Bene announcement coincides with his departure.

Aside from his remarkable first-team cameo, he seemed to wonders for our youth setup. All the best, John.
