Results are variable. A manager cannot have control over the minutiae of a football match. Especially during a period of transition which Killie are going through just now. We can agree to disagree, you would pull the trigger now if you were Killie chairman, fair enough.

He said Wolves would destroy rangers that attitude and the same from McInnes against Burnley beat before a ball is kicked does my nut in. Jesus wept

I'm saying that results on a football pitch are an unpredictable variable, let's not forget he won his first game. You are right in so much that results are often a product of fundamental flaws in managements performance but I would argue that to be the case over a period of time, not 180 minutes of football. IF you are to sack a manager after 2 games, bearing in mind you've gone through an extensive recruitment process and you felt that you've hired someone of real pedigree, I think you need to have significant evidence that the way they are working is significantly flawed. Otherwise, you let them get on with the job for now. If Killie hold on for a 1-0 defeat the other night we're not even having the conversation. That is football. Alessio may be an absolute dud, who knows, but sacking him is mental unless something really significant is going on behind the scenes.

The only way sacking a manager after 2 games would be acceptable is if there's a fundamental issue with the way the guy works. Eg Stubbs recruitment was horrendous and had created dressing room unrest fairly early on. Kenny Miller seemingly couldn't cope with the combination of management and playing and so on and so on. I don't think there's any argument that a terrible result alone is a reason to sack a manager.

Yep cracking post. Particularly the fundamental view of sport part. The sky sports generation have been convinced that footballs value is in the level of investment into the game. We clearly saw it here in recent years, the campaign for a return to the closed shop two horse because, well... the tv deal.

Sacking a manager after two games would be absolutely ludicrous. For a journalist to be advocating that is quite incredible. The article smacks of xenophobia throughout too.

Things appear to have escalated today

Heads gone thread indeed

I’d write a strongly worded post on a football forum.

Disgusting use of partridge. “Bailey” should be ashamed of himself.

Yeah but hibs have a better style of turnover

Collecting the prize money is what makes you professional, no?

Were away first

You wanting to tell us something?

Can't call it downsizing. More like creating a leaner, more efficient operation that will create value going forward.

Practical way of eating an awkward shaped food.

Correct.

Could we call a TB4 EGM please, urgent business to discuss.

That Hearts kit is best out of the 3 by far

Could we have a form table please?

He’s enjoying it now because folk are getting irate. Best mocked/ignored.
