The laughable thing is we let Dolan leave in the summer of 2020 and a month later gave Harrop a bumper extension taking him to 2023.News to me - I agree it would have been a freak scenario and am certainly not ruling it out as the truth, but didn't Ridsdale suggest at a fans' forum last season that the reason Dolan didn't get a deal was down to Alex Neil?
I think at that stage Neil didn't give a hoot who or what Riddler signed up. By next March Neil was fired. He'd long since checked out mentally.
