Biography

2007 Dick Campbell

Former County player Dick Campbell was appointed. Campbell was given one sole objective of achieving promotion to Division 1, a feat he had achieved several times before with different teams. Campbell signed several with a number of years experience, including Stuart Golabek and Stewart Petrie, around the Scottish leagues recognising experience as a valuable commodity to get out of Division 2.

County were sitting top of the table when the bombshell announcement that Campbell had been removed from his job. He appeared to be well on his way to the objective of promotion however the board felt that the type of football being played was not of the standard they required to serve up to their fans. County had played only eight league ties under Campbell winning four and drawing three, accumulating 15 points. The thirteen goals scored were clearly not enough. County had made little impact in either of the early season cup competitions.
