Also lets face it Rangers play in a league where they can get docked 10 points and still be comfortably in second place so it might be fair to say that even an incompetent manager could manage that team.

And yet he still managed to finish third one year. Jonathan Wilson said on the Guardian pod - in thinly veiled reference to Steve Bruce - that lots of people don't realise that truly incompetant, undeserving people are managing top flight teams, and managing them without a plan, without nous, without any real thought going into it, just plodding along, getting jobs on the basis of an old-boys' network. I wouldn't be surprised if McLeish fell into this category.

Indeed, a recommendation from Taggart, in our case.

And, you'd presume, in Bruce's case as well. There's a pattern developing here.

So even at the Championship his team only scored 54 out of 46 games.  :-\

But don't worry, Alex did say it's a myth that he is a negative manager.

In answer to the original question, if he picks Ivanhoe today and we lose, then yes.

That's about right because it will cover off two things, firstly that he can clearly not learn from his mistakes and secondly we continue to get shocking results.

Had to leave the game early due to commitments.

Yes, he has to go after that debacle.

Bonus is we are one point further away from the relegation places. Every cloud and all that! What a load of rubbish though, he has got to go!

As someone suggested on the match thread - maybe the poll should be reset. I for one have changed my opinion.

That's it for me. Bed sheets and A4 paper. Get him out of here.
