It was great to see him go out on a high but a fresh start will probably be best for him.
I actually think his attitude on the park in terms of work rate got a lot better the last couple of seasons but between Cadden's emergence and his problems with various managers we never saw the best of him.
It was obvious when McGhee came in he only saw Ainsworth and Laing as wages to be freed up to bring in his own signings. For me if you have a player like Lionel who can score and make goals you need to coax that out them as much as you can. Instead of doing that McGhee went out his way to try and make him leave.
A good manager gets the effort we've seen the last two games over a season.
Lionel has been up and down since he came but I'm delighted to see him go out on a high.
He seems like the type of player who needs to be managed and suffered from playing under managers who weren't willing or able to do that at times. If you look at his goals and assists since he has been here we'll miss him and the quality of his goals has been incredible.
At my end of the East he was emotional
It's an unusual spot to be in walking round behind all your team mates while also watching your three small kids.
Spending a fortune on EPL players was his main tactic.
Only three of his signings - Jenno, Hateley and Humphrey - were at the club the following season. He also wanted the club to buy Owain Fon Williams from Stockport.
Aside from the relegation battle it'll be Lasley and Skippy's last game at Fir Park and more than likely Moult as well.
Hopefully they go out on a high and can get a proper send off.
So eight games out of eleven where we haven't scored from open play or even looked likely to any point.
Our play in the final third is probably the worst I've ever seen.
We've hardly scored a goal from open play since Robinson came in. That style of play will guarantee we are in crisis and looking for a new manager before the end of the year.
Letting him continue is a huge risk.
Dundee United are very poor from what I have seen of them and it's hard to see them winning all three ties regardless of who they might play from our league.
Looking at our league only Rangers, Dundee and Hearts have really had change of ownership in the past 10 years and only really Dundee was fresh money coming into the game.
There are no buyers out there.
