We are a truly dreadful team. Jimmy out. 

We're keeping him.

Forever.

[OrlandoDon]

Can the 3 year project start the first time we ever spoke to jimmy?

get the Motherwell boy in asap, and I’d act soon before someone else snaps him up.

I feel we had better creativity in midfield with McGrath, Clarkson and Palaversa. Now we have a midfield of headless chickens.
 

And Armstrong needs dropped.

I think we could build around Kjarten and aouchiche in the middle, maybe add David Watson if we are lucky. Add another piece of quality in there. Problem is we have no wingers or center forward.

I’m officially over sideways and backwards. We are a really poor watch and new signings under jimmy don’t do it for me. I haven’t seen enough from jimmy to think he can be successful here. Next.

Results (domestically) have picked up since this thread was last active, but not sure we're much more convincing than we have been at any other stage of the season.

Next five games:-

 

I would love to come up at the other end of these with a good tally of points, but that's four away games there, at least three at tough venues, and I can't say I'm confident about winning any of them.

At least two of them though are after all our new January signings arrive...

Since that Hibs win in April, it took us another 11 games to win another league game. And Hibs have been back to Pittodrie and utterly dominated us since then. That's regression rather than progress.

The next two games are huge. Not for the result, but if we go to Easter Road and get a chasing then what the hell have we been doing since April?

One point from nine, and we didn't at any point tonight look better than Hibs despite the players they had missing. We're probably fortunate they weren't at full strength.

Now we've got Falkirk away - lose and they leapfrog us, and they've had a free week to prepare. Rangers home and away - I don't see us getting anything at Ibrox if we play the same way we did tonight. 

And the Raith Rovers cup game, that's a season saving game because it's looking increasingly likely top five may in a month or two be realistically out of reach.

New manager bounce and 3-4 January signings and 3rd, 4th at worst. 
cormack has given Thelin everything, 18 months, time money patience, it’s just not working out. There is absolutely nothing positive we can say about performance, a that’s been the case fo over a year for the most part. I don’t think there’s anyone saying to give him more time, how can you justify that? I also think this is the first time where there is a young talented manager in the league performing well on a fraction of our budget. For the first time in years I can say I want x manager asap. Guy is young creative, and has a team playing attractive football, no brainer.

I absolutely would not want Askou.

Because, if he even considered a move to Aberdeen, rather than back himself to chase down Hearts and the Old Firm when he's only eight, five and two points behind the three of them, then what the hell is wrong with him?

Also, keep this going until the end of the season, and a bigger job than Aberdeen will be on the table for him.

Motherwell will never be a good/big job. He may even lose players in January. And he doesn’t have a budget. We’re a much more attractive option. Short term he has a good season at Motherwell maybe, long term we’re much more appealing. Do you have a reason not to want him other than leaving well for us in a position below well??

If he has a great season at Motherwell then more likely he gets a bigger job than us though so you would have to question his judgement and ambition if he did come to us.

If theres one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that we shouldn’t hire managers from Motherwell

Let’s be realistic, at best Motherwell will finish 4th. I don’t believe they’ll finish above either of the Glasgow two or hearts. They won’t win a cup. So who do we realistically think are watching him? I said we act quick because maybe he goes to united ? Maybe hibs if they were to tank and can Gray. Maybe hearts if Mcinnes  goes to Scotland post World Cup. I don’t think he’s on that many people’s radar besides Scottish teams at present, and I’d say he’d need at least two good seasons up here, maybe a cup final/win, before an English team or abroad comes calling. Look at us with Mcinnes, how many teams came in for him from down south or abroad? I don’t see him leaving Scotland any time soon.
