As far as I’m concerned, JBA has done his job, and done it well. He leaves the club in a significantly better position than when he arrived, with an entirely new mindset and approach to football. He was brilliant for us, and I’m pleased he’s earned a big move to France. Now we move forward under the steady stewardship of our chairman, the board, and the new head of football. Even though the chairman has said the club will follow the same recruitment process that led us to Wimmer and JBA, the attention JBA brought to our club this season will surely attract similarly talented managers to apply. Now bring on Europe.

Aye, I’d already accepted it weeks ago. I just want it resolved early so we can move on quickly. With Daws now in his new role to provide continuity, and Kyrk and the board committed to the new model, I don’t see any reason to be concerned.

If JBA goes this week, with the club still trying to sell season tickets, it would absolutely be in their interests to make a statement, as you suggest.

True. They’d probably go to the chemist and claim it was the optician.

I assume you go to the same optician as the officials.

Remember, it’s the same people who continue to back Clarke that also continue to back Collum and his troop of morons.

Fadinger signing an extension is brilliant news. The double-pivot of Fadinger and Watt is central to JBA-ball’s success, so let’s hope we can retain Watt now. I’d also like to see Priestman continue developing as part of that double-pivot next season. More transfer news, please!

Probably once they’ve made extra winners’ medals for them, then concocted some ridiculous justification for yet another “honest mistake.”

Gordon will want to be playing regularly, so I can’t see him being here next season.

I agree. However, slow and steady wins the race, and this season is just the start of discovering our new ceiling. I also wonder if more clubs will follow our lead.

The game at Fir Park on Wednesday was effectively abandoned as well after those manky scumbags invaded the pitch and endangered the players and fans. And it’ll keep happening until the SFA/SPFL actually punish them, but they won’t.

Absolutely brilliant to get over the line today. What a team. What a season. We’re all going on a European tour.

Sweep, sweep, the wagons have circled.

With Daws being promoted, and clearly far more involved behind the scenes than many of us probably realised, it seems pretty clear to me that the club is laying the groundwork for JBA’s eventual departure and replacement. What’s encouraging is the apparent focus on internal continuity and structure, and preserving our new model over the longer term.
