Genuinely sad reading this after the unbelievable high of 24th May and most of the summer still recounting the joy of that day. Almost feels disrespectful to say it, but it is time.
I’m undecided as to whether now is the time to pull the trigger or not. For the record, I don’t think Cormack will do it (it’s his decision ultimately, not Lutz’s). I think Jimmy gets until the end of the season unless things get really bad e.g relegation battle, which I don’t think they will, or multiple scuddings or cup embarrassment, which are maybe more likely. The other reason might be that, by April or so it’s clear that nothing has changed (noting that it’s already difficult to refute that accusation), and they decide that a new manager needs the last x games to get used to the squad etc.
My main worry is that I’ve seen no progress (outwith the cup win, but how do you gauge that?) and see little likelihood of any following. Accordingly, I see his demise as inevitable, just not impending.
P.S. I predicted a little while ago that we’d win the Scottish Cup again this season. How ironic would it be if we were bottom 6 after a dreadful season, but win silver again? I’d take it like, even if it’d mean he was unsackable and would therefore bake in the following season as a repeat to this one… 🫢
What an incredible piece. I will always be grateful for the first Scottish Cup win since I was 14!!!!!! And one which I got to experience in person for the very first time, but that 1% simply can’t outweigh the 99% of sweet FA that the club have achieved outside of 24.05.25.
To quote the late, great Owen Hart, “enough is enough and it’s time for a change”
Even with the nod to Cena in the title which makes it a bit more light hearted i'm still on the fence. You hit the nail on the head with perhaps some fractures in the dressing room which leads to an incohesive team. I'm forever an optimist so looking to see what happens in the first two weeks of Jan
Agree with this pretty much verbatim.
His time is up.
He looks most, bereft of ideas
Most of us mere mortals can see it, but the Board seemingly can’t/wont.
I think we’ll draw away at Falkirk, then it’s back to back (probably defeats) against the huns in 3 days.
I do wonder whether even our inactive, feckless Board might act?….
I meant he looks lost, not most ^^^^
