I agree, no manager has been a success this season. McElhone (a fitness coach) seemed to have the players buying into him, where Gus (a once-proven manager at this level) has come in and barely mustered a reaction. No doubt that's largely due to a lack of quality and Gus isn't culpable for that, but the reaction of the players after the whistle blew up at Inverness suggests they were still behind McElhone, although his removal had already been decided. We've been chasing our tail this season with poor decision-making at every juncture of boardroom level. No checks and balances on player recruitment, not replacing Hopkin when he spat the dummy out and opting to offer the job to an unknown quantity for the rest of the season, only to then decide to twist and rake the managerial scrapheap in March.

Agree he comes across like an alright guy, and I couldn't give a fuck if he was at St. Mirren, but he said himself early doors after his appointment that his job was to keep us in the division. If he doesn't do that then he's failed and shouldn't expect to get kept on. For what it's worth, I don't really care if he stays or goes, but if I was in charge that's what I'd be basing my decision on. The majority of the blame for me though still lies with 'Hoppy' and that MacKinnon guy. Pleading poverty yet building a squad almost two times too big in normal times, never mind for a 27-game campaign, and then leaving in a cream puff when told to address the issue.

Delighted with that news. Duplicitous arsehole of a man.
