Perspective time .... The CC that had lost at home to Rangers, and lost 2-1 away to Well and St Mirren before resigning. He may have had us at the bottom but 3 games is not enough time to extrapolate a season long prediction. He did ok the previous season and there was no reason to imagine he wouldnt have done ok if he had continued.
Having said that ... agree with you 100% about Owen Coyle.
I personally never thought CC was ready for the managers job, and he frequently showed that. I can still remember being turned over at home by the Dunfermline team that were eventually relegated. Its a shame, as in the long term I saw CC as potentially an excellent manager, but he was thrown in at the deep end, and is now never likely to return to caoching.
