naegoodinthedark Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We need a Statement Monitoring Board. That would be a positive move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Wow. You sometimes have to wonder how so many people at the top of football clubs can be so out of touch with reality. A fucking bin fire of a statement that will only make themselves look stupid if/when they inevitably have to punt him in the near future. Cynically, I wonder if Jim would be owed a very hefty payoff if sacked and they're trying to get him to resign without having to pay it. Only logical explanation for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren’s ‘Sellik Shop’ debacle has a rival for tinpottery tomfoolery. Nope.

It’s almost certain that any new manager would not have been in place before next Tuesday, so any signings would/will be made by the “football department” regardless. Agreed the window is bad either way but I think they’ve made it worse. Would anyone seriously want to join this week? We’ve just publicly stated the manager will likely be sacked if we don’t win. And even if we do, you still wouldn’t sign on the Monday because one win doesn’t save him. It just delays it. If we’d sacked him you can at least talk to a player about a vision and a plan. With this we look like a complete mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the fans turn there is no coming back. Tbf about 99.9999 % of Hearts fans wanted Neilson gone after Brora, myself included and he's now turned that round almost completely. But aye, hard road back and not helped bythat mental statement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormack has totally shat it & also completely misread the room. Embarrassing, have the directors no say or are they all puppets? Pity the club can't get rid of Cormack. No success coming with him at the helm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 What a bonkers thing to come out with. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘football monitoring board’ had no prior knowledge of the statement content. Maybe they all agreed they couldn’t afford to pay him off/ no replacements they wanted were available/ genuinely want to give him more time to turn it around, and Dave says “ok lads leave it to me, I’ll put out a statement” It definitely reeks of someone who doesn’t really know what he’s doing trying to placate the fans by pointing at the manager and announcing “he’s been shite” without realising he’s made matters worse for the manager and the support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’d imagine when teams go through a catastrophic result or period, even if the manager does turn it round, whenever the next lean period arrives I suspect they’ll have less credit in the bank or patience from the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Cormack considers losing against Hibs to be more embarrassing than losing against Darvel. Can’t argue with that tbf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 That's an incredible statement I genuinely can't believe he's survived the results since the World Cup break. They're quite something. Abject 0-1 surrender to Celtic Hilarious bed-shitting against Rangers. 2-1 up (at which point I stuck a fiver on Rangers), to shite themselves and lose 3-2 An absolute drubbing against St Mirren Losing to fucking Kilmarnock A fairly uninspiring home win vs Saints Losing in marginally less hilariously shit fashion to Rangers An absolute walloping at Hearts Knocked out of the cup by a club who couldn't even get into the Lowland League last season Holy actual f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
