We are a very fickle lot, aren't we?

We were very close to being dead, not that long ago.

Then we had "The Journey" with Ally!

Now we're back in the top league, with barely a pot to piss in, and we expect glory in our first season?

Give the guy a break, ffs Bears!

I don't expect glory but I do expect a tactically astute manager and Sunday will be a big test for plan A, or hopefully Mark will have an alternative plan.

Very good Manager . I would expect us to finish second this season then as long as he is given some decent money the next season then we should win the league . So I would he should be with us to at lead the end of next season . He has rebuilt the club on the football side and it will take time for all of this to come through

Calling for his head if we lose on Sunday is absolute idiocy of the highest order.

Absolutely. There's a reason we've only had 15 managers in our glorious history.

[STEPPS BOY 4,477]

Losing to the taigs on Sunday wont cost him his job but another heavy defeat and his credibility will be shot..

[its_an_extender 52]

End of the season. Although it does worry me about giving him anymore more to spend (as little as he's been given!) over the next couple of transfer windows. Signings he has made so far that have involved us paying a fee haven't been good enough

[Zulu 223]

Amazing some of the shite posts that come on here

[MasterD 1,924]

Possibly review at the end of the season.

Although December will be a big month for him, hearts, sheep, taigs all in a month. If we don't come out of that month well he will be finished in a lot of fans eyes.

[Pearson83 328]

It's tough one imo i do like him but as some have says there is no plan B and he can't or won't drop players who really are not on there game. His weakness is fact the struggle to buy a decent defender in summer and it is costing us. The whole Barton thing has not helped him also! I would give it to end of season our aim should be second we have a team that should be able to get that.

Hate to say it. But if we lose Sunday he needs to go imo

To be replaced by who?

Write off all the back room investment and changes as well?

1st season back in the top flight was always going to be a massive challenge. The aim of course should always be 1st at this club but at the same time I fully understand that those lot have CL football and can spend several million on players and right now they are the better team but do I believe that will last long and they will dominate Scottish football? No because I trust Warburton's judgement in youth players and how will they progress. All you have to do is look at that Brentford team and see how well they are playing this as his legacy lives down there. (just wish he didn't take Macleod down there before he came here ) but definitely has my backing long term.

[Jelavic191 494]

There's a spell of games around the end of the year where we play Hearts x2, Aberdeen, St Johnstone and Celtic. I think that if the results are bad for those games and we are beginning seriously fall behind the race for second I can see there being serious pressure on him and I'm not sure he'd be able to handle it.

Same old shite. Who on Earth do we bring in that's a better manager with a better vision and better application? Talk of sacking him when we're 4 months in to our first season back in the top flight is beyond stupid now.

The last thing we need is more instability. Bringing in fucking Billy Davies or Derek McInnes isn't going to win us the league, if anything we'll regress further.

I'm so tired of this same old regurgitated pish.

Spot on

[cumnockbear 1,730]

Get this shite tae fuck, we've got a massive match coming up on Sunday and you want to start this pish.

[kdybear55 4]

I joined this forum to have/read decent discussions but there's some crackpots on here! MW although he is frustrating in his style of play he has come in and rebuilt the squad not once but twice. Got us back to the premier league and to the Scottish cup final with free transfers and loans! Now having rebuilt the squad again on frees and limited budget we are doing well in the league I think Barton was detremental to the squad at the start of the season there's no denying since he's been suspended the teams gradually getting better and improving! I can't see us getting a positive result on Sunday but I would like to see them give a better account of themselves and kick on from there. November and December is going to be a tough month with the teams we have got but it could make or break or season so we need to get behind them not be sacking managers. No one could of done a better job in the circumstances MW has had to face

If he was to go, years from now 'did Warburton get enough time' will be the discussion that never ends, and the answer would be no.

I honestly shudder to think where we would be without the guy.

It's easy to forget because we do demand the best but I think from where we were to where we are now just be thankful we have him! I think we will finish 2nd

[j1mgg 1,243]

He will get longer than Brendan Rodgers.

[dan_ger 1,267]

Until the end of next season at the very least.

Short term thinking doesn't work. The sooner we learn that the better.

[saintbob1969 396]

He won't be sacked and he shouldn't be sacked but on his signings and the way we are going presently the signs are that he is not at the next level and neither are his players.

Standard responses are "we will learn from that loss" "we had most of the possession despite the disappointing result" and "we hope to kick on from that result".

We are way beyond where we were. We are nowhere near where we need to be. Beating Aberdeen and Hearts is crucial. Hauling back some of the daylight between us and Celtic is something we all need but too many players are not stepping up to the challenge.

[KeyserSoze 1,592]

When there's no improvement year on year.

If he continues to improve each year he can stay for as long as he likes. But some of that is out with his control.

[markem 1,388]

By my reckoning he has lost 9 competitive games since he came to the club. Considering the utter shambles inherited, the need to build a new team, modest budgets, promotion to top division (2 lost this year) he's has not done badly at all.

I've said this before, I was raised expecting nothing other than Rangers win games and cups however imo any fair minded person has to allow for the circumstances we are currently in.

[left winger 563]

A lot longer than the op.

[Bad Robot 2,316]

Good managers win trophys so I have no real judgement on MW yet.
