    Shouldnt be sitting 6th in the league with the money weve spent, if we dont beat Aberdeen we should get rid (i like Ange but theres no excuse for taking 10 pts from 21 so far).

    With any new managerial appointment it's only right to give the guy time, that is if he can show that he at least knows what he's doing and has a plan for going forward.

    I see a manager who is trying to implement a system that the players are not comfortable with, it's also a system that can easily be exploited even by spfl opposition.

    If the manager refuses to adapt or alter his tactics then he'll be gone, because it's clear tae see there is a naivety in his approach.

    We can talk about him coming good and turming things around, going on a winning run, the January window etc etc, my gut feeling is that we're now lumbered with someone who is way out of their depth, the magnitude of the job is more than he is capable of dealing with.

    Nice guy but we canny afford to be experimenting with a left field appointment, someone who came with no backroom staff of his own, instead he has the remnants of last seasons horror show to work alongside, a recipe for disaster, half arsed, lazy and totally lacking in ambition.

    That system wont be successful with the players he has at his disposal. You can bet your last pound that, that board wont back him with the players he needs to even have a chance this season . So round and round we go till its too late to even put pressure on thae manky bastarts !! , shame he comes across as a nice guy but refusal to even try to play whats in front of him with a different approach will see him out the door .

    Id judge him when he has his own staff in and when he is properly backed. Infact this should be standard for any manager

    There's St Mirren went and won away at Livi as well. We're the only team they've got a point against at their stadium this season.

    We have actually spent nothing. We had a nett difference of roughly £20m on transfer fees in the summer. That’s not taking the sale of Frimpong into account.

    We haven’t. We had a nett spend of +£20m roughly. I don’t equate that to spending money. The board shortchanged the fans yet again. No real surprise. You would think with the carrot of guaranteed Champions League football for the league winner they might have pushed the boat out, but it was same old same old. * about waiting to sell players before we bring any in, take in more than we spend by a considerable amount and top up the squad with a few loans. That was us needing one of the biggest rebuilds in our history as well. It’s a * shambles the state we are in.

    Whether you equate it or not, that doesn't mean we haven't spent money.

    Drop points in another 5 or 6 games this season and the league will be beyond us

    And the automatic place in the CL that goes with it

    Does anyone actually think we won't drop those points aying like this?

    So, if he doesn’t get his own staff and sign the 6/7 first team players most would want to consider him properly backed, would you just keep him indefinitely?

    I think everyone agrees he’s been dealt a * hand, but I still want to see him make the most of that * hand. Right now he’s failing to do that, and it seems misty down to stubbornness than anything else.

    Im trying to think of the right analogy but struggling, but basically just use the tools available to you.

    I remember him taking about not wanting to be a ‘destitute artist admiring their own work’ but that’s what he’s in danger of becoming here.

    We took in more than what went out. That’s not just my opinion, that’s a fact. It’s not spending money.

    So did we bring Kyogo in with * magic beans, or did Dom McKay have to go and give Carl Starfelt’s agent a tug under a table or something?

    We used the money from the sale of Ajer to fund them. We haven’t spent money, we have made money. It was further downsizing by the board over the summer. If I go to the casino, put £100 on in bets, and win £500, I wouldn’t say I spent £100, I would say I made £400.

    We spent money from the profit we made!

    I sense this was sarcasm but I feel like both of these things are true.
