Aberdeen finishing 10th last season didn't give him any grace plus losing Ferguson and Ramsay puts him on the back foot, He gets to the world cup break only losing one game at home in the league scoring 4 and 5 goals against Livvy,Killie,Hibs and you guys, the results after the world cup are very poor but for me the improvement on last season was very clear plus bring in decent replacements going forward but trigger happy McCormack had seen enough.
For me Jim was hard done by,picking up the mess left from Glass,sold his best players,started to build a decent squad plus results were always going to be indifferent he should've been judged at the end of the season IMO.
