Next season

If I were a betting man (which I’m not), I fear we’re being relegated without a massive change of direction.

If you look at the Hearts and Dundee United squads that were relegated, they were both decent on paper but much weaker than the sum of their parts, bloated, expensively assembled, conveyer belt of managers with no attempt for continuity between styles, owners who to put it nicely don’t look as if they’re tuned into this league.

This “review” of the club can’t be a vanity project to pat the backs of certain people at the club. Extra money to invest means nothing if it’s invested badly. I’d love a player like Murray or White up front for us as their attitudes are great and that gets them goals. Alex Gogic would improve us.

Am I convinced that certain people can put their egos aside for this to be fully effective? I’m not sure. I hope I am wrong.


This summer is so, so pivotal. The manager may well be an issue, but our problems run far, far deeper and if our review isn’t us being brutally honest with ourselves then we’re circling the drain.
