    Felix Magath is available, and he's known for drilling squads.

    I've been quite the critic of Lennon and by no means would be considered one of his 'fans'. I think we should have parted company long ago. I also maintain that this season should be his final one here, irregardless of what happens. We should be looking at a rebuild for next season.

    However, I've came to a new opinion - unless he has lost the dressing room, he and the players are going to need our support rather than fuelling a more uneasy atmosphere just now. The main reason for that is he will not be sacked by Lawwell. Moreover, it's too late in the day to change the manager now if we want 10IAR, for me. Every new manager wants time and we don't really have that luxury if we want to get this season over the line. There is also the chance that we could get a new manager now and get an immediate bounce - certainly it is a possibility. I suppose its down to what folk value as more risky in the current context and that it certainly something which is open to discussion. I'm trying my best to be as positive as possible here however skewed it might be: Lennon has turned round bigger deficits in the league and has had this group of players playing at a decent level before. We could be on course for winning last seasons Scottish Cup and that could settle us down a bit in terms of bringing back the cup-winning confidence. That's my hope.

    I have a degree of blind faith that he can turn it around. Hopefully once he gets more of the first team players back and gets a settled lineup we will hopefully see a bit of progress. Hopefully win at Hampden next week and go on a run from there. He really can't afford to drop any more points though..

    Yes, his demeanor and his voice annoy me currently. He has been talking * for months so would rather read what he says than listen to him because I might end up throwing my daughter through the telly if I listen to him

    Hasn't managed in a while and all his managerial success was 15 years ago. I don't know who we could bring in but I kind of feel like you could stick Goodwin in charge and we'd do better, although all our players may get covid

    Unfortunately the Huns are also better equipped than us in that department as well.

    There are plenty decent calibre managers knocking around... most waiting for a big club but there’s little movement in the usual merry-go-round of european football. There might be just the man out there who is capable and fancies a 6 month stint to reboot the career.

    We need someone to come in and see that the likes of Rogic and Griffiths have been paramount to the 9IAR run and need to be relied on for the 10. Those are two of the best talents in the squad and need to be fit , on form and playing . Class is permanent . No more Ajeti and Elyounoissi ffs. Get a new manager in , get the players focused again and lets get the best out of the best players , stop trying to shoehorn in Lennon's horrendous summer signings of Duffy , Barkas and Ajeti.

    Ajeti really?

    The guy is scored goals for us when only half fit. He is perfectly fine addition to the squad.

    Barkas and Duffy however, have been worse than an incurable case of death

    I keep hoping he knows what he's doing and this just a blip but I think I am in denial too.

    For now we need to stick together and get behind Neil. Today again I would NOT blame the manager for 2 dropped points. He cannot legislate for 3 individual mistakes which cost us 3 points today. We all wanted that team out today and he selected it. We played a 4 at the back we all wanted that. At times you cannot win whatever you do. Time for some players to step up. If they don't then something has to change after that either change of manager are certain players dropped from the squad

    That's a bit harsh on Ajeti, he's shown he'll score for us. Agree with the rest. Like you say, it's guys like Brown, Griff, CalMac, Forrest, Rogic we're gonna need to rescue the league. They've been here a while, know the score and have proved themselves capable. To a lesser extent that applies to Ajer, Bitton and Christie as well.
