I echo a lot of the words already spoken in that I'm really sad this is how it has turned out. From that POV it certainly helps that his last game was a narrow defeat (however limp dicked the performance was) away to Falkirk and not a papping off der hun at mordor 2bf. If there's any truth in rumours and he ends up at AIK that's a bonus as we likely will have had to pay minimum compensation, if any.
So, moving forward, this is the first big test for LP. It will be interesting to see just how much free reign he gets with the new manager position given how hands on Cormack likes to be. My hope is though that fabled black book of his provides some candidates that none of us have heard of at the very least.
