Sad to hear of death of Ally Dawson who managed the Accies in 2001 leading us to 3rd division championship
Aged 63 is no age at all. RIP Ally

All the money was going to fund player recruitment it said and they got poor Ally to sign it. Of course it was obvious that Watson and co were desperate for cash and needed to money just to keep going over the close season. And then at the end of the season Ally left to be replaced by Chris Hilcoat presumably another cost saving measure. Seemed a sad end to what had been a reasonably successful spell as manager battling against the odds.
