You don't need to hold your breath, it was explained on the previous page, and Hammell spoke about it in his interview. As for him not being 'forceful or confident enough' to press the case for his youngsters with the previous regime, how do you know he didn't? Alexander picked the first team, not Hammell.

It's Brian Kerr.

You don't exactly need to read between the lines to see it wasn't just the support who wanted Alexander out of the club.

Feels like a jobs for the boys appointment, but he'll obviously get plenty of support to begin with. Kerr was making the right noises about going forward (in both senses) the other night. Gonnae be a huge job actually achieving it, though.

Brian Kerr talking about the B team's performance tonight - "we, as a club" want to see "attack minded, fast flowing football". Hopefully, that's coming from above too, though it'll be a miracle if the next guy can get that from the first team squad as it stands.

On the bright side, if we can get a new manager and a new team there's every chance we might be ok. Or maybe not.

Is that 2 shots on target in 3 halfs of football, one of them the penalty kick?

The official site said there would be no PPV for the league this season, for any of the teams. Didn't say why, but it's a pisser.

Craig Brown can bugger off.

Every manager does. Question is, how many?

We better hope Alexander either lost a significant part of the dressing room or hadn't a clue what he was doing tactically, because if that was a happy squad of players playing to the best of their abilities, we're in deep shit.

That's just rubbing it in.

Mibbe the stuff on here counts as written warnings.

Talking of pricks....

Depends how far back into the good old days you go, I suppose. By 'golden handshake' do you mean paying up a contract agreed and signed by the club at the time of hiring?

He's going after him on Tuesday then, not Monday. Anything's possible, but he knows a large section of the support wanted Robinson out the last time, so this would be ludicrous.

The Robinson stuff could very easily just be lazy reporting, but the fact it's not just one source, and they're claiming we'll make a move for him on Monday does make you wonder if there's more to it. As others said, it fits in with our old pals ethos, which I assume comes straight from Burrows.

I realise that. It was sarcasm, given the 'Fuck off Kelly, ya dick' comment. The manager's gone. If the fans fancy chasing one of our few decent players out too, fair enough, but would it not be better to take a breather and see what their reaction on the park is first?

Don't know where he got the toxic fans stuff from.

I saw him at the Motherwell pantomime a few years ago, so he'd fit right in.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

He's made the smart move. He built it, but looking at that squad in action over the last two games, he must've known it was only a matter of time - because they're shit, or because they're not playing for him. Or maybe both. Leaving now saves his reputation possibly taking a battering over the next few months.

Ally MacLeod was probably the quickest out the door into a new season that I can think of, up until today. If only Hammell could do a Davie Hay.

Alexander gets to keep his 'hard done by' reputation intact by going now. He's no stupid.

As soon as he started wheeling out the limited budget patter last night it was inevitable.
