So phase one is complete, why do we need to stop now? We still need further change at the club. The same issues still need to be raised at the AGM. McGhee was part of the problem, but only minor in comparrison to Milne.

How could I forget I think slim has the right idea. Someone that hasn't been subjected to Scottish football. Fresh thought is definitely required.

Nah he'll still be on Vegas.

Mizer I don't think they will know or care that it is a nicer City. Too far up North in their eyes. I'm not sure who i want, but it's not any of the above. Curbishley would be ok but i don't think he'd have the balls.

I'm inclined to agree. They are a team of bottlers. But who knows, with the right man in, maybe he can inspire them?

Liklihood of this? Slim to none I fear, hopefully I wrong though

Tom, you know I didn't mean go down the route of hearts, but as BB says, we need to have a decent balance, at the moment, we do not, and look where it has got us. Arguably, I would say it's been 3 seasons that it's been like this, because JC's final one was pretty dire. You could see things were going wrong, in my opinion, primarily due to the lack of reinvestment into the first team squad.

From the names mentioned in this thread, there are few I'd want. Any confirmation on whether he's left or been sacked? As good as JC was, as has been alluded by a few others in the thread, things were not going well under him. He had run his course at the club so we need some new imput.

Thank god for that! Can actually enjoy a weekend for a change!

That, mcmaster i think is the biggest problem we face now, the fans giving up. And I don't blame them at all.

As Dave_min says, change! Fuck the debt and the new stadium, we can deal with all of that when/if we're competetive! What good is a new stadium if you've got no use for it. The penny pinching strategy has failed horrifically, so it is now time for a new school of thought. Something which this board are incapable of. Good luck mate!

Not denying that, however, his form dropped dramatically after Leighton left.

I thought it was proved that he was manager when they had a huge slump after a great start to the season?!?

I still think that Langfield's poor form has been ever since a former GK left the club....

Don't know how they'll replace him tbh Sharpie!

I dare say it's a graveyard!

Minor snow in London, I fully expect the whole city to grind to a halt in sheer panic.

I'd say our support has changed somewhat on the back of that though dave. In 95, the fans were still used to having success, but they've had that desire hammered out of them. Lots of folk also seem to have their own agenda's, you only need to look at the red army 12 to see evidence of this. It's a shame you gave up bloo toon, as i completely agree with it and think that some of this current situation could have been avoided. The club find it easy to fob off the fans because of the very reason there is no united front.

Agreed. The stuff you hear about hartley off the pitch is fantastic but his form on the pitch has been patchy at best. Maybe it's exaggerated because the majority of the team are unable to compensate for his loss of pace and sharpness. But still, not as good as i'd hoped.

I don't get the Terry butcher love fest. I still think we need to look outwith the SPL.

Seriously, what the hell are the club playing at?

Why? We didn't know who should replace JC and we still don't. McGhee was NEVER the answer.

erm...JC...got us through to the last 32 of the Uefa Cup? Or did I make that up? Seriously Stoney, give it a rest, McGhee is having a mare of a time as manager of Aberdeen.

I just did the same Padre, it was awful awful stuff. I couldn't believe how many chances Killie had!
