With a turn over measured in tens of millions.

:lol:

Yes, it reminds me of Woopert Woe appointing Stuart Gray.........

Any lead is dangerous with us.

Yep, got it completely wrong again. The PR disaster is the civil unrest in Brazil; that would be quelled by Brazil beating the Argies in the final. My reference to Thugland and Qatar getting 2018 and 2022 respectively was simply to serve as further examples.

Good luck with getting a sensible repsonse from the Beeb. I complained once about the portrayal of child abuse in Eastenders, and got corporate crap back from them

The more I think about it, the more I think "patience" is not the right word. Nobody was expecting/demanding a top 5-6 finish in August. Most of us would consider 8th an OK (but not brilliant) return on the summer activity. But the way we plummeted the first time we needed to apply ourselves instead of being flat-tack bullies against the crap at the bottom the table, and then the way we surrendered the FA Cup, was infuriating. I tell my kids when they have school tests coming up that I dont care if they fail or get scraping passes, so long as they tried their best. I feel there are times this season when manager and team have switched off. The table position reflects the club, and the management changes - SFC is at crossroads; do we build upon or throw away ? The summer is looking massive..

Wow, they are really on the edge now. Do the League still do re-election ?

More relevant than ever after yesterdays pathetic capitulation.

I see sensible discussion has given way, for some, to petty grabbing of half-chances to post barely-relevant personal abuse

You have a very odd way of looking at things.

Because we've squandered our best chance since Hoddle quit for a much higher finish.

Games consist of 2 halves of 45mins each. Over the 90mins we were the second-best.

Yeah, I am having real trouble understanding this, unless he is already gone in his head.

If we hadnt wasted so much resources on Gashy and Osvaldo (and that money was really p*ssed away...), maybe there wouldnt be so much pressure on MoPo to get 110% from the rest of the players the whole time. But he hasnt managed well, nevertheless. How he allowed us to go off-the-boil yesterday was a disgrace. We've not been well-managed on- and off-field this season....

Indeed, its not as simple as the OP makes out. The question for me is, is MoPo the type that can get 110% out of a player, consistently during and between games, despite some limited talent / lack of squad depth? We will never compete with the big 6 on transfer fees and wages, we simply dont have the fan base. If he is not, then it is not impatience. It is a recognition that MoPo has brought us as far as he can. And we need a management team more capable of tactical creativity and motivation of limited players. Sorry, in this respect as much as I truly loathe him, it is hard to fault the sort of manager Saggy Chops used to be (hes over the hill now, imo).

If we have the 30m + that would require.

Yes, we saw that in the 2nd half yesterday.

....I'd be looking for a new job.

At a guess, I would say its to settle into the same mid-table - to - lower third mediocrity whilst fleecing the fans, that we had under Lowe.

LOL. As if I am going to take the time to justify myself to someone who ends their post with such crass personal abuse.

Same post every week...

And nearly cost us last week.

Was Ronnie Rosenthal playing again ?

Nevermind, it was one of those days again and at least Ramirez was class when he came on....
