Sounds like you are making some excuses for it tbh.
I can’t for a minute believe that his remit was to not finish a further 9 points behind Celtic, I’d imagine it was to close the existing one this season. If the status quo in the league remains and if we win the semi next week the only conclusion is he has failed to achieve any of the key goals that have been set.
That’s not hyperbole, it’s reality.
