I am starting to panic. Surely SURELY they aren't keeping this duffer? 🤣

The information vacuum doesn't help.

Naively hoping for a 5 o'clock announcement. "Club announcement - enjoy your weekend Pars fans emoji3060.png"

I'd spaff my boxers if that happened.

If they were backing him, then they would've said so in that midweek statement.

Surely all the changes they identified and said we must make, along with a full review into the football structure of the club is not going to find that Yogi is the man to take us forward. There nothing about his time here that would make anybody think he's worth persevering with.

You could counter that by saying that if they weren't backing him they'd have said so in the statement.

Agreed, there are absolutely no reasons to keep him on. Would just be a mindblowingly dumb decision if they did.

They should make it a glitzy affair, like folk leaving The Jungle or Big Brother. Folk could gather on Halbeath Road, fireworks go off, the doors open and there’s Yogi. He’s handed a glass of bubbly and asked by Burty how he enjoyed his time.

Pishing it down with rain, people walking by with their dogs filming it on their iPhones, couple of oil drums filled with kindling for the pyrotechnics...

YOGI YOU HAVE BEEN EVICTED. PLEASE F*CK OFF FROM THE SRJ WINDOW MAIN STAND.

Is East End still sponsored as a stadium, or was that just a one season thing?

It's never been sponsored as a stadium, just the Cowden End and Main Stand.

There's a Burger King sign on the side of the main stand.

East End Park - Home of the Whopper(s)

Plenty of whoppers on offer at EEP that's for sure.

The longer this drags on, the more uncertain I get that we’ll do the right thing. I understand that these things take time, but the ‘final nail in the coffin’ was last Saturday. Usually, when a manager is let go at the end of the season, it’s announced within a few days. Delaying the removal of the current manager m means delaying the search for a new manager. Delaying the search for a new manager means that the more sought after candidates are spoken to/snapped up by other clubs.

Really hope that it’s a case of announcing the departures along with the new structure/team, but that seems unlikely. If they’re punting him, it should be announced today at the latest. If it drags into next week before he’s sacked, that’s just ridiculous and suggests that the mismanagement at the club wasn’t due to departing board members, but those that are still here.

The board must know that fans want clarification one way or another. There’s no logical reason for this to drag on longer beyond today.

I’ll no longer accept anything else unless it’s Davina McCall standing outside Charlie D’s announcing each contract termination, followed by “how about one more?!?”

The statement made Yogi’s position untenable. He’d have some brass neck to stay on after his new boss has stated what a failure he was last season. Hopefully it’s just a matter of the club following all the right steps in terms of employment law.

All the stuff about developing and selling players seemed to go out the window with Grant and Yogi. Yogi was simply Kenny mk2,  given a great budget to keep us up and failed miserably. Can’t blame him though - this season is squarely down to the board appointing possibly the least two qualified folk on the planet.

Hired a guy who’s most recent championship experience was coming dead last.

He had us on track to come dead last.

Replaced him with a guy who’s most recent championship experience was coming 9th followed by an embarrassing playoff defeat.

He led us to 9th followed by an embarrassing playoff defeat.

And the board are shocked by all of this.

This is the part I don’t get. Our player recruitment strategy, which had been largely successful, has been tossed out the window. We’re building a training centre and re-establishing an academy, but at the same time we moved away from signing youngsters and trying to develop them and use us as a stepping stone.

To be fair, in January we were desperate for players to save us. We failed despite going for older heads though, so we still would have been no worse just building for the longer term.
