Nah need to stick with it for a while I would say, he will have us stable I think just need to get up and have a solid season next year then see how it's looking.
He's never going to get sacked after a promotion, should never have been appointed in the first place.
He is like the manager equivalent of Walker. Was great in his first spell, quickly went off the boil, done fuck all better since leaving the club but then was given the job again because he used to play here.
Whatever goodwill the Hibs game gave him is wearing pretty thin now. Conceding soft goals on a weekly basis, going to pieces against any half-decent side in this joke league, it really does not bode well for next season.
We should have the cigars out strolling this league. The fact we're not is down to him. His persistence in playing his mates is costing us. Berra and Walker are sadly past it and should be binned. He won't though.

Na it wasn't the time for a gamble. Signing a guy who's won the league twice is a sound approach.
Problem is we have been very uninspiring and I think it's what most folk feared with Robbie. I just see him as a guy to get us out of the Levein shadow and then we can move on once we're an established Premier League side. It's hard to say how much of the performances are due to Neilson or the current situation and some of the cunts left over from the Levein reign.

No quick fix here unfortunately.
You're not going to move out of Levein's shadow by bringing back a Levein disciple to lead the transition.

I find it strange you see Neilson as the guy to get us out of leveins shadow tbh. It's exactly the opposite of what I see happening, surely if you want to put that behind us you get rid of the players and managers that seen us put in that situation, not sign them up again.
Not on board with the idea that Neilson was the only sensible appointment to get us out the championship, it was just the most convenient for budge.
