    And that shouting at the players throughout 90 minutes. If it hasn't happened already one of his own players is going to walk over to the dugout and smack him 😎

    To be honest, he did what he was asked to do, can’t complain (even if the fitba was eye bleeding), and genuinely wanted to see what he would do (fresh) this season. However, hearing the views of some of the players, seems we dodged a bullet, and while i knew Tam was a risk, he was less of a concern to me, than improving the playing staff. Thankfully that has been well (and patiently) addressed, and most need to eat humble pie (at the criticism aimed at Tony at that time), and it would appear the team back Tam 100%. All good and long may that continue, I just wish the club had better comms with the fans!

    Agree 100% there's no doubt MM did what was needed so credit where credit is due. Hopefully we're moving to that next level now.

    If he did what he was asked to do he would still be here.

    I look back on MM's tenure and feel he panicked after the two 4-0 results away to The Rangers and Killie.Its fair to say the football after that was nothing short of dreadful.
    We have an amazing amount of points given our goals for tally but fair play to Tam he has surpassed all my expectations and although its very very early days i'm more than happy to eat humble pie every week on here as long as it takes.

    Credit where it’s due. Micky M came in a week or two before season, he kept us up in our first season with covid etc.

    Job done and I am happy with his contribution

    I also read his book which was not bad !!
