Player Update.#DAFC can confirm that Paul Watson’s employment with the Club has ended by mutual consent. pic.twitter.com/MBvG3zMiDT — Dunfermline Athletic (@officialdafc) October 19, 2021 The Dunfermline boss declined to expand on that when given the opportunity. Unconfirmed rumours have swirled regarding a falling out between the parties. And on Tuesday afternoon it was confirmed by Dunfermline that Watson has now left the club, via a curt, one-sentence statement. Watson made 42 appearances during his 16-month stint with the Pars. Grant and Watson were both approached for comment by Courier Sport on Tuesday. Grant stated that it would be inappropriate to do so.
