There must be a common denominator beneath the pre Lindsay appointment debacle, the departure of Lindsay and the downturn in Morris' disposition, and that must be the backroom setup. There's something Power'esque going on at the moment and for all the good that has happened e.g. ground ownership, Austin's return, it is undermined by something else very very sinister.

It is possible to both to be put in a bad position, and to do a bad job even within that context (see my employment history for further details).
Exactly where I'm at with it. He's been dealt the shittest of shit hands, but he's still done poorly even so. |

Its difficult to shake that feeling when everything is fucking catastrophic at the club at the moment. |

Isn't it just. It feels like that period of horrible high pressure and dark black clouds just before a massive storm. I'd almost rather Clem called a press conference tomorrow and he and Zav pull off rubber masks and reveal themselves as Lee Power and Mike Diamandis. It is the silence in the face of constant on and off field shitness that is making it all worse. |

In what was was it a hospital pass, he knew the squad before he took the job, would undoubtedly have been asked during the interview process whether he could work with the squad and no doubt confirmed that he could. Reed and Gladwin had gone before he was appointed. MacDonald announced at Aberdeen on the same day he was appointed (I recall it was common knowledge he was off a bit before then), as far as I am aware it wasn't compulsory that he took the job when it was offered.
He hasn't been handed a perfect hand, but is any manager handed thus, but these attempts to deflect any blame whatsoever from him are a little odd.
Yep,totally agree |

One thing it does show though is that it will ultimutely come down to what happens on the pitch. The ownership etc is exactly the same as it was 12 months ago

Just as we would put up with dull football if we were winning 1-0 every week. |

The ownership etc is exactly the same as it was 12 months ago Yeah things go quieter with on pitch success. I'd say a contributor was expectations were increased for this season and rock bottom last - and 'the model' wasn't around last season either. on ownership, there were questions on Karachi, having a convicted money launderer being put in as #2 and the less than transparent way 'most wanted' and keily were rumoured to have influence. |

The joys of owning a football club! Unlike most other businesses, the P&L is not the primary concern of everyone else watching you perform in running said business. Not having a successful team leads to people asking questions - if you've fucked everything else up, those questions can sometimes be a little taxing.
