@ScottBurns75 How did he get the job done?
His main priority was 10th spot with a lead over Kilmarnock. After 3 successive losses to nil we were consigned to a play off and we were DAM lucky to come through that!
@_Trust_45_@PaisleyPan98 Our 3 most crucial games of the season with livelihoods on the line Livi, Killie and Dundee games we'd only have been 3 goals worse off if we had decided not to turn up and take 3-0 forfeit awards.
THAT'S how bad we were and he put those teams out and set the tactics.
@Stevewoasm@PaisleyPan98 Wow can't be many other teams delighted to say "we did really well apart from conceding 4 goals in 6 minutes".
And they say our fans are angry boo boys.
@ANDYFULT0N@StMirrenChat Indeed, he's a coach not a manager.
So clear in that disastrous 3 post split games, all losses to nil, which sealed our fate.
When the inevitable quickly becomes apparent we not only end up looking for another manager but paying off a contract & lose a decent coach.
Unforgivable
@Soctty123@Alan_Clark77@Record_Sport@Liam_1877@ScottBurns75 ..and despite beating Aberdeen home and away from being level on points we finished 6 points behind them and a Killie side who we were 3 points ahead of.
A 6 game period McLeish was in charge.
Struggling to see positives in a few halves of competency.
@alixbalixbee Did we though?
This was the home games he was in charge of.
3 goals in our last 6 home games 12 conceded, miles worse than even relegated Livingston?
The best football in years?
@lepper82@Record_Sport@ScottBurns75 ..and I would literally take the Play Off spot for next season NOW I'm that sure the McLeish era will be so poor that we'll be detached early on.
I honestly can't see why some of those who watch us can't see it. A good half of the fans can see exactly what is about to befall us.
@CharlieSPFL Securing their Premiership status?
Weren't they watching the teams he put out the 3 weeks post split when above Kilmarnock in the League?
3 games without a single goal, 6 against consigning us to 11th and the risk of losing our Premiership status.
That was HIM in charge!
@bawarmy When do we say enough?
Fans backed them week after week
They took in
a League Cup winners prize
a Semi Final Scottish Cup run cash
a fee for Evan Mooney to Arsenal
a compensation payment for Robinson .
But we can only afford a youth coach who bombed in SPL games that mattered?
@lepper82@Record_Sport@ScottBurns75 He was the one in charge as we slumped back under the line and had to be in the play off!
We were ahead of Kilmarnock and he blew the 3 most crucial games post split without us even scoring a goal!
If he couldn't motivate them to save their jobs then what chance over a season.
@asbosdad@Record_Sport@ScottBurns75 WTF?
We won the League Cup
We reached Scottish Cup Semi
We sold Evan Mooney
We received compensation for our under contract manager.
Who's in charge of finance? Peter Murrell? FFS!
@ChrisDailly@Record_Sport@ScottBurns75 These games were the audition.
Could he set up & motivate a set of players who we saw outplay Celtic even if for 45 mins.
What he managed was 3 of the most pathetic capitulations to seal participation in the play off scoring not a single goal!
They'll have to sack him by Xmas
