Was completely against him staying on as we needed someone proven in Scottish football to win the championship at the first attempt.
If we stay in the Premiership - should we give him a shot - especially now that Levein, MacPhee and Daly have been removed, along with a lot of dead wood players?
I'd keep him on if we manage to stay up. I was apoplectic after the St Mirren game, screaming for him to go. Maybe it's the absence of football which is making me ease up on him, but I feel now he deserves a chance to put his mark on the side without the previous manager and his reject team sniffing about the stadium, the training ground and still having the ear of the owner. Absolutely nobody could work with those conditions. Stendel turning up to watch a reserve match on one side of the ground with Levein on the other. Utter madness. We didn't even let him bring his own staff for months and tried to force the dream team of Daly and MacPhee on him!
The form guide since the start of the year until the shutdown shows as well that whilst it's not brilliant by any stretch, we were certainly not the worst team in the league and offered hope that we'd have escaped trouble:
The big task for him (or whoever comes in) isn't just changing the personnel, its changing the entire ethos of the club which is absolutely rotten to the core.

That's where I'm at. Can't be a positive working environment when the guy you're replacing is still roaming the hallways with more influence than you have.
