Smith was finished the minute Jocky Scott left and we improved massively the following season. Calderwood and Mcinnes were both done - the fact we appointed a self absorbed clown and the chairman's pal to replace them doesn't change that fact. I still think the departure of Smith was the start of our demise Link to comment

Jocky Balboa Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 12 hours ago, don corleone said: Mcinness time was well and truly up and had been for at least 18 months. To his credit, when he did leave, the job was a far more attractive one than when he joined. This should have made getting in a decent replacement an easy job for the board, there surely must have been some better candidates than an inexperienced Stephen Glass, but cormack obviously already had his man. I'm sure most supporters were like myself very disappointed in Glass getting the job but hoped that it would work out, although I think we all had an inkling of how this would end. It's time for cormack to hold his hands up and do the right thing before this season is a total bust. We're staring down the barrel of a relegation fight at the moment which is crazy for a club who rightly views a forth place finish as failure. Get this shit sorted. Exactly, our stock was pretty decent at the end of McInnes's tenure, all things considered. I said at the time that, with the money being spent on his wages, we could have sourced a more than adequate replacement to at least make a good fist of the job. Glass was no-ones first choice and the pressure is already on. I hope he turns it around and still give him until the next transfer window to identify and deal with the weaknesses/imbalances in the squad, but it's looking like a forlorn hope at this point.

fine-n-dandy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Expecting the shite players a shite manager has signed to turn it around for him is ludicrous really. Of all his signings so far, Only Brown has been almost acceptable but even that is questionable now. 2 1 Link to comment

A manager who’s clueless and signs clueless players, who don’t look like winning a game this year never mind this month, deserve what’s coming. ( (Relegation.) 1 1 Link to comment

Latterly the football was eye-bleeding, the results were shite and we went 10 games without even scoring. 6 is bad enough, why do folk keep saying it was 10? Glass has just put in a worse run of form than actually got McInnes sacked. It’s absolutely incredible. And people are saying it’ll come good? Link to comment
robbojunior Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Our squad is nae that bad in my opinion. Which makes it even more obvious that Glass and his coaches are the problem. A half decent manager and coaches could get this same squad competing at the top end. Link to comment

My mistake. 11 points from 13 league games in 2021. So Glass' 8 points in 8 games this season, whilst nowhere near acceptable, is still better than the run that got McInnes sacked. Link to comment

Depends where you are shooting from and how powerful the shot is. Is it a shot likely to result in a goal or is it a sclaff from the edge of the box that barely reaches the goalie? Link to comment

If we are bringing in anything up to 10 players, next season could be transitional. No point bitching in October about being 5th or 6th when we’re finding our feet.
