    I agree. Most of us thought we were likely to go stright down, the main thing was to stay up. Eye watering to watch at times but his hands have been tied completely by the pandemic and the court case and coming into the job at the last minute with no pre-season.

    Give him the next season and some money to buy players and if theres no improvement then sure, bye-bye. I'd be surprised if he doesnt improve the team. I am still due to have dinner with him when circumstances allow so he better not leave!

    I've been wanting to ask him stuff all season!

    Get some money in by moving on Shankland (regrettably but we are holding the lad back) and Benji and use 1/2 of the money to fund the team. Mickey has to get the chance to buy his own players. This is Robbies team he is playing with for the most part and we didnt think Robbies team was very good

    We stayed up and thats that. I'm taking that as success in our first season back.

    Yet.... I tend to agree. Apart from the Aberdeen match where they played right in to our hands (for once). We do seem to be a bit obvious. Punching above our weight? probably.

    Today proved (to me) we are miles away from being a good SPL team.. SPL though, not too shabby.

    I would give MM next season to have his own side, own tactics etc. Yet I do agree we seem to be watching the same old pish at times.

    Didn't get upset today at all, always felt it was never gonna be our day.

I'm not on here to say MM must go but just hoping things are more enjoyable next season to watch . So as said don't say I need to have a serious look at last year guys are entitled to say if they think its been poor to watch most games
    Of course you can have your opinion on things, that's great. I'm fact I agree with what you are saying about us not playing well for large parts of the season. But surely it's reasonable to cut MM some slack here?

    I was not expecting free flowing, attractive football every game. But was certainly hoping for better than has been served up virtually every match.

    Like I say , staying up and a cup semi has been what we all would have been happy with but Phuk me it’s been a difficult watch all season and overall fairly disappointing to say the least. Hey ho, onwards and hopefully much improved next season.
    This is close to where I'm at and why I'm happy to give the manager the benefit of doubt and another season. I wont lie, the contract extensions are concerning as are the squeezing in of the three strikers. Failing to give Appere and Chalmers a chance yesterday was just baffling. To make two subs and leave those two on the bench is unexplainable. If he's going to be a stubborn 'play his favourites' manager despite form then he won't last long, especially if fans get back into the ground next season. Then again, how many of our managers haven't been stubborn b*stards and played their favourites?

    I'm with you on giving MM some slack I've not said on here that I wanted him to go

    I am certainly in the MM should stay camp. The football has not been pretty but it has been effective enough to do what was needed; remaining in the Premiership. Whatever tactics you play, if a team cannot pass a ball 10 yards to their own team mate, then you are on a loser. I am not sure that is coached.

    The re-signing of older players concerns us all probably and possibly not ideal, but with no idea of how MM wants us to progress then we need to trust his judgement. But as another thread says, who? if MM does go, no guarantee of the free flowing football or results.

    Thats the most sensible post on here terry (apart from this one of course ). I was pissed up and pissed off on Saturday at the ref (as per), missing chances, Ian fkn Harkes, bad headers etc. sadly that was still one of our best performances of the season as we actually had a shot on target. Def think MM should be allowed to build - rumours he has asked to sign a swedish international winger/attacking mid a couple of signings and some kids being allowed to play next season. I fear he is away though.

    Im also convinced we would have scored at 1-0. I see sky sports are taking the p!ss out of our refs and officials. Rightly so.

    If the rumours you are hearing about MM having signing targets are true then looks like the rumour about him leaving is false can but hope.
