Foran has failed. The 4 year contract was bizarre. Surely penalty clauses were inserted to soften the blow if the end of season position was as bad as we currently are. 

In contrast, Brendan Rodgers has just 'earned' a 4 year deal at Celtic. I would say he has earned it!!

Foran is taking us down. He does not have the tactical know how for survival. He does not have the standing in the game to attract players of a sufficient quality that would get us back up. Also, he does not have the know how to get us back into the Premiership. 

I see us becoming another Falkirk, Dunfermline, St Mirren etc stuck in the Championship for years. 

It's like a game of snakes and ladders. In 1 year we have slid to the bottom of the pile in one fell swoop. 

Charlie Christie as interim manager until the summer. Then re-assess and re-group when we know where we are at.

Foran won't go so unless change is made at the boardroom level then he willl lead us in our campaign to stay up and more likly a promotion campaign. The mess with Hughes has left us in this position. I think Richie was being groomed to manage at some point but the mess we got ourselves in with Hughes left us to promote foran early. I don't think had funds been available that he would be manager now and with relegation almost a formality unless some kind of miracle, then even less money than last summer it is hard to see them sack another manager so early into a long term deal. I've said in another thread he should stay in some capacity but just not manager but if the excuse was no money last summer then it is even more apt if we are a championship club face it guys Richie is going nowhere fast unless something changes at the top. 

I think Foran will be gone within the next couple of days.

Based on what...?

I believe the board are looking to get someone in to support him until the relegation issue is sorted. I don't know how successful they have been.

I really hope there is some truth in this as that is exactly 

what he needs . A bit of guidance !!

"I am astonished that anyone is contemplating having John Hughes back as a manager. His signings were even poorer than Foran's and our style of play had become so predictable that teams soon sussed out how to play against us and we had no plan B. Would we have changed our style this season under John Hughes and been more exciting to watch, would he have signed better players than previously, the evidence suggests otherwise. There are in fact many similarities between JH and RF's style of management in that they are both stubborn and will not change their approach even when everyone can see that change is needed. Is that the one bit of experience RF picked up from JH?"

We were so predictable that we won our first piece of silverware and had our best ever league position are you enjoying what you are watching now? JH completely changed our style of play and had to get the players and fans to buy into it despite the howlers committed in the early days by trying to play out from the back, he then lost his two best players in Shinnie and Watkins. ICT was still a work in progress when JH left, yes possession was overplayed at times but it takes good players to be able to mix it up and make the runs necessary to play a longer ball. Playing the way we did meant we were never going to be hammered by anyone in this league even when key players were missing because of the system we played. I am astonished that anyone wouldn't have him back especially after the dross served up this season.

Every week, after our result, I think "well that's it", and yet when I look at the table I think I can see a way out. I wish the inevitable would come quickly now. 

At least after last night, it doesn't matter what the table says. I know we're doomed.
