I back the team, the manager has to earn my backing. He is the club's pick, but then, so was Beale. One bad season doesn't make you a bad manager but neither does one good season make you a good one. I'm afraid SAFC have expended all of my good will with relation to manager changes and whoever is incoming will have to earn my backing.
what do you suggest then? We sack him off and start the process all over again because he had a bad season last year and ignore the good season he had? You sound desperate to not give him a chance here and are reaching truth be told. According to you it does
Agree with this but then disagreeing with some likes. Why has this thread degenerated into a discussion about the board? Open a new thread if you want, and see how many responses you receive.
I've read the last 10 pages....can the MODs explain why Hamish was banned (other than offering a different opinion) @Gordon Armstrong @marcusblackcat . And those who have reported him, grow the **** up
RLB is a bit of an unknown so the best we can do is get behind him and give him time. The thing with Beale was that it was plainly obvious it wouldn’t work, but this one can go either way. So just give the lad time. It looks like he’ll be backed with staff, and I presume (hope) the same goes with player recruitment. Enjoy the ride. Haway.
But neither is it a shining medal of honour. I want our next manager to succeed and I would be happier had he just come from having achieved promotion rather than relegation. Do I feel that he is the best manager possible for us? I doubt it, but I am worried that he may be the best manager left available to us out of an ever shrinking pool of managers willing to take us on. Nothing the club has done over the past year has worked out well for us so you'll have to put up with my reserving judgement of how the current recruitment will turn out.
