I think it is safe to say that Graeme Murty won’t be our manager past the end of this campaign now.
It’s a shame because he has helped us out at times and done some good things for us but I just think the pressure has got to him and that we need someone with more experience and a bigger character.
With that said, then, I was pretty concerned to read that Robbie Neilson might be our new boss – though as an outside bet – ahead of the new campaign:

Certainly, I’m not the only one who feels as though this would be a bad appointment:

Please God no, this boy should be auditioning for a place with Iron Maiden on their next tour, definitely should not be gracing our dugout

And when he says yes, put him in a headlock and fire him through the nearest door.

This is a guy who has played the most dreadful football at MK Dons, fell out with the Senior players and took them to the brink of relegation? Aye right!

Us as fans can confirm we want that idea flung as far in the bin as possible.

The Verdict
It would never surprise me if we did make such a stupid decision in appointing the former MK Dons man but I’d like to think we won’t.
He’s not the calibre of manager we need to get back on top and if we did bring him in I could see there being a lot of anger and protest.
Thoughts, Gers? Let me know!
