    I reckon he'll get the final at the very least, with the FMB hoping like f*CK that results improve.

    Like I always say, sacking the manager is the easy bit. Who Colgate gets in to replace him should worry us.

    Hope they at least see if Mowbray would consider us at least.

    I reckon Neil Lennon will get it and things will go from bad to worse.

    Joking aside pal, If Lennon had been appointed in the first instance instead of his mate Glass we would not be in the utterly shambolic position we currently find ourselves in.
    Sacking managers is not the reason we are where we are, it's appointing bad ones that's the problem.
    That and the FMB

    Oh FFS not another thread where Br0chred fails to detect a bit of sarcasm, and a bit of being on the windup but thanks for the bite again min.
    But on a serious note who should we appoint?
    I up until the yesterday was pretty much of the give robson time opinion but it's clear it is not going to happen, but when we have binned managers in the past, Robson has been in the building to take up the interim role, this time round I don't really see anyone in the building to take on the interim role.
    So just putting it out there that we could have appointed Lennon short term instead of Glass I am not suggesting we appoint him now as we are tooooooo far gone for that.
    as I said before sacking managers is not the cause of our sh1tshow it's fkn cormack and the FMP appointing cr@p ones that is the problem
    We need to top class manager to turn this club around and we need cormack to GTF
    It's too late for Popcorn teeth that ship has sailed

    Who do you suggest we go for and please nae Mowbray

    It’s not really a case of who we want, it’s a case of who we can get on the cheap and who can work with our chairman breathing down their neck. You don’t need a track record in management, in fact you don’t seem to need any managerial credentials whatsoever. That and our lowly budget is why we have been sh*** for the best part f 35 years.

    Where to start, firstly if it was "sarcasm" surely you must have become fed up repeating the same sarcastic line for the past however many years it has been. But for the good of us all please don't bother typing that again, as you say, that ship has sailed.
    I would agree that we need a top class manager and Robson is probably not him. I have significant concerns however that we will not get one because any "top class " manager isn't going to come here. We play in a sh!t league which any top class manager would consider they have no chance of winning. We probably wouldn't pay top class wages either.
    Our form this season is hugely alarming and that, I think, is the fault of the manager - as well as the usual BitB biased calls/player flock ups aside. However at this time I am loathed to get rid of Robson as I have no idea who we could get to replace him. The usual suspects or other previously failed managers, I don't think are the answer. Some successful manager from another country?, possibly? but ask Man Utd how that turned out. So in answer to your question, no one. Keep Robson just now, if things are really sliding come mid Jan and Motherwell and Livi are no longer in freefall we will need to bite the bullet. Who knows, with no more Europe and the League cup finished, we might just concentrate on the league and (cough) win some games.
    On the matter of Cormack, I pose the same question to you. Who would you have in charge then? Let's face it there aren't queues of billionaires champing at the bit to invest in us. At least Cormack has loosened the purse strings for signings, regardless of what people think of them. I have no truck with Cormack, at least he's a Red and is a significant improvement in our last incumbent.

    Broch, firstly apologies for nae replying to your question sooner, time difference and all that.
    I don't have the answers min and if I did I woodna be stuck doing what I do for a living to try and keep the wolves from the door and pay the bills.
    All I know is that since our plastic yank of a chairman took charge things have nae been great, I never thought Glass was the correct replacement for McInnes and I certainly never thought that Jim fkn Cantwin was the correct replacement for Glass.
    Then, after how Robson turned our fortunes around last season he deserved his chance, and I, like many others thought the answer to our managerial issues had always been in the building and we would be heading in the right direction.
    But again it appears as if I / we were wrong, begs the question as interim manager he was left to his own devices as colgate teeth and the FMB were searching for a permanent gaffer. Barry did his own thing and got their attention, they have to give him the job, but now colgate and his pals are not looking for a permanent gaffer and are back to being tooooooooo close and toooooooo involved in the actual footballing side of things and Barry and the squad are getting hacked off with it.
    Maybe I am speaking utter sh1te (winna be the first time or the last time I suppose)
    But there might be some food for thought in that.
    So, i dinna have the answers but something needs to change
