Plenty of hungry young managers out there that would do a better job. Signing players from lower leagues in the hope they can be sold on, FFS what's happening to our club. Too many mistakes have been made and bringing back McGhee was one of the biggest.
McGhee more than steadied the ship last season when, quite frankly, we looked absolutely ****ed. October is too early to condemn him for this year, hugely worrying though the signs are. There are plenty of bizarre things going on but for me the biggest is why a club of our very limited resources bothers signing two first choice keepers and then refuses to drop one of them for playing like Samson...Brill must look like a sieve at training.

I think criticising McGhee for signing players to try to sell them on is harsh though...how else will the club survive? He gets panned by some for resigning the old guard, if you fill the team with untested kids they will be - at best - inconsistent while they develop. Cadden took time to settle, McMillan and McLean may or may not come good - but unless you've got serious blue chip prospects, there's no way of avoiding a messy start.

As for accepting us going down, yep, I definitely have. It's where we deserve to be - the fan base is dwindling and of those left not enough are able/willing to do something. No one wants to buy us so as sure as night follows day we will end up at a level which is sustainable and that's not going to be the top-flight. Long-term, it's a question of of first division or nothing so I've more than made my peace with that even if the actual process of getting relegated (be it this season or in the next couple of years) will no doubt be a rank misery.
