    Im not saying we should get rid of Cormack but to keep saying he is better than Milne so its pointless moaning about him is like saying Thelin is better than Stephen Glass so its pointless moaning about him.

    Its also extremely naive after whats happened in the last 6 years to be thinking lets get rid of Thelin and everything will be sorted.

    I said it last season that Cormack needs to take a back seat,probably get rid of a lot of dead wood in that board room and hire a director of football who knows what he is doing and let him hire a manager who in turn will be allowed to sign players he wants/ needs instead of this buy players to sell them on for a fortune nonsense.

    Reply to Rico post above:

    Fair point - the "Dave is better than Milne" argument, while undoubtedly true, is also starting from a very, very low bar.

    We cannot get rid of him is also my point though - there is nobody who is going to take over the club out there, we are just not that attractive in the grand scheme of things. Just cannot see it.

    Dont you agree he has taken much more of a back seat this last year? I think that is self evident, but I am with you 100% that there needs to be some root and branch backroom reform regarding the board and management structure cause its just not working.

    He has not implemented all the recommendation's from that German mob - I'd like to know why not because he has never said.

    It certainly leaves a growing question mark over his chairmanship if he doesnt make any other backroom changes, or implement the outstanding recommendations this summer too.

    Its all of fair points from yourself moog as well as mason and deedon and im not trying to start an argument with anyone.

    I was actually sceptical about Thelin coming in because the majority of foreign managers are never a success in Scottish football because their style of play doesnt suit the way teams play in our league.

    But now he is here in my opinion we should stick with him, he has a hell of lot to improve on but hopefully if he gets in players he wants then we will see an improvement next season.

    Maybe it wont work and he will be gone next season but I just feel if we do that then 6 to 12 months down the road will will have the same issue with the next manager.

    Like I said its a squad full of players from about 4 different managers with different styles of play, we need a bit of stability for the next few years in my opinion.
