Couldn’t get him off zooms, the radio, national press and our own official Twitter this time last year and during the Rawlins investment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I might query in hindsight is Mckinnon. The board clearly had no one in mind to replace him other than 2 rookies and he just might have ultimately got us over the line last season. We do also seem to have an awful knack of getting our timings wrong which doesn't help much. Our team that came second in the championship to rangers would've won that league comfortably virtually any other season. Then as soon as the league is hearts, Hibs and sevco free we immediately go into freefall. Again last season's McKinnon side would've won the league this year quite comfortably in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 A number of the timings could have been better, but none of the decisions were wrong. McKinnon should have gone after relegation - he got us up to 8th in the Championship with weeks to go and absolutely shat the bed and we went down. M&M should obviously never have been given the gig in the first place, but that disgusting performance at Starks should have been the end. Bad timings yes, but no wrong decisions in the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said if we had done that I'd be up the town shopping on a Saturday from now on. What a riddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that is the expectation of a manager at any club. Football is the ultimate results driven business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board would've let each of those managers finish the season if fans were not putting the pressure on. Maybe the board should have, look where it’s got you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The one thing all decent managers have is an incredible belief in their own abilities, spilling over into outright arrogance. They won't be troubled by the amount of sackings that have gone before because they'll believe they're better and it won't happen to them. At the very least they'll negotiate a healthy termination clause in the contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'd have thought Mark Kerr would've at least been mentioned. Obviously out of his depth at a big team in a big league but might be ideal for the seaside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List of managers all wrong, the fans know better and get them all sacked. How has it ended up so far? Good luck with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. We'd just have been down here a year earlier if we hadn't sacked Houston who was retiring anyway. It's not the fans fault it's the bods complete inability to appoint managers that can actually do the job properly that's the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing Ian McCall with mark Kerr is the kind of ridiculous thing our bod would do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the team has gradually got worse and worse since the play off final at Kilmarnock. We needed a bit more quality and depth to get us up yet we've signed 100 players since then and the vast majority have been hopeless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
