I apologise for the use of the word stupid. I tried to edit that but couldn't.

But, yes it is.

If you want to evaluate how well anyone is doing their job you need a set of fair criteria by...

It's not opinion, it's demonstrable truth.

That you are too stupid to grasp it doesn't make it any less so.

He's had two offers from bigger clubs while in his current post. I'm looking forward to your long list of British managers who've had more offers from bigger clubs while in their current job.

Yes. I'm aware of all the sophistry about Sevco, weak Hearts, weak Hibs and the rest but no-one with a reasonable understanding of how predicted outcomes for a team with our budget in our league...

The point is that McInnes has been outperforming his budget for almost 6 years. Clarke has outperformed his budget (even if somewhat more spectacularly) for one. SPL managers significantly...

Nice to see an intelligent post reflecting an engagement with the real world. The sentence "And McInnes shouldn't be compared with one manager who is overachieving at a specific moment in time."...

OK missed that.

Not so. Oxford dictionary:

This is demonstrated by the fact that we tend to confuse the spelling reign with rein. The two words mean quite different things, but sound the same when you say them:...

Milne may be particularly close to McInnes (although frankly I doubt that: they are guys from different generations with different lifestyles and personality types and I find it hard to imagine them...

Lot of people wanting to punt Wilson, which I understand, but depends on the deal to some extent. We've probably committed to paying a certain amount to have him for the season. Can't see why...

Plus side - one of the most narcissistic men ever to get involved in the game (and let's face it, the competition is stiff) got a bit of comeuppance.

Minus side - Britain's most arrogant, entitled...

Sweet. Their lucky Euro campaign has been an big shield for Gerrard up to now. Let's see how he fares with the delusional Orcs now that the hunting season has been officially declared open.

Logan is a worry. He was one of our obvious strengths until the end of the season before last. In the past season and a half he's cost us more goals through errors, especially being caught out of...

Anyone thinking McInnes is going to get sacked in the near future has totally lost the plot. Pa Broon delivered 3 8th finishes in a row before we very reluctantly sacked him, even then offering him...

He's one of their own.

Big Niall fan over the years, I'm one of those who thinks that before his departure he almost always did enough to justify selection even when not on form: making himself available in tight spots...

I don't think this is professionalism (which I agree we're pretty good at). You can toe the party line, and even go far enough beyond it to remove any scintilla of doubt, without going as far as to...

I agree that McLean could be frustratingly inconsistent, but for my money he virtually always did enough to justify selection even on his poorer runs of form and in his good spells he was by a margin...

What do you expect? We can afford Shinnie, or at least we could when we signed him.

Any idea how minor? Big difference between 49% and 4.9%. Also a big difference between a Chairman whose got, say, 5 mill in the bank and one that's got 500 mill, especially if he's more minded to...

I take the point that part of the problem is that the stadium has been allowed to run down.

Whether it would have been viable otherwise I don't know.

But we have to start from where we are.

McKenna and Ferguson are on long term contracts and according to the press we are on the brink of Ferguson signing a further extension. They will only go for the sort of money that, even if only a...

When The Scotsman published a list of the top 10 full backs in the SPL a wee while ago (iirc at the end of the 2015/6 season) they had Logan at no 3 and Considine at no 7. I'd accept neither is...

First one is just human nature. You're walking along the road with a chum, 500 yards from the nearest person, a complete stranger. He tells you that in his opinion a mutual acquaintance, Joe, is a...

I'm not writing him off yet but I can't claim to be encouraged.

In interviews he continually talks about "putting himself in the shop window" yadda, yadda, the clear implication being that he...
