He isn't happy with that.
It's not going well obviously but we should stick with him. There's no point in giving a young guy with potential whose in his first top job half a season to come good. We are in no danger of relegation so, although we are pish just now, I will lump it until the end of the season.
He'll be learning a lot, Cathro and MacPhee aren't daft. If they get recruitment right (big if granted) and with a pre-season I think we'll be a side worth watching next season. I've seen glimpses of the football I want to see so I'm happy to allow the time for him to get it right.
He's had a few hurdles too. The squad he was left wasn't great IMO. Neilson did get more out of it however we were crap to watch then too. I don't remember many voices of complaint when he bravely ripped the squad up in January. The six month wonders don't give a f**k and I think added to Levein undermining him he's struggling to get the player's to buy into what he's about. Then factor in Funk getting injured. I wonder how Neilson's first half of the season would look without him bailing us out?
Judge him next season, if it's not working as we approach the winter he should be emptied and Mr Levein along with him. I really can't be fucked with the arrogant setup we have here but as he and it aren't going anywhere we need to accept it will take longer than half a season to work.
