    Today put to bed the myth that he is his own man with his own tactics. That starting XI and subs were Lennonesque the subs were probably worse and I didn't think that was possible

    Think its time he went and tried his hand elsewhere.

    Should not be kept on the coaching staff.

    If anything these couple games have surely cleared up any doubt that he could get the gig full time. I'd happily keep him till end season if it meant a dof having time to bring in his person for his vision going forward. But if the dof and manager are ready before then all the better. We just can't afford to get the next moves wrong

    There's no room for sentiment, we really need a proper and professional manager with his own backroom team.

    mad how we have come this far and still dont know our best XI. I really hope a young player can emerge and give us something to be positive about in towards the close of what has been an abysmal season.

    Basically pleading to be kept hanging around instead of going out and actually proving himself.

    Absolute shitebag.

    Don't get ahead of yourself the board has proven to have enough contempt for fans that they might give it to him yet.

    Or maybe even gavin Strachan will get a pop

    3 strikers on the bench, desperately searching for a goal and he takes forrest on who hasn't played in 6 months.

    At least we know this clown won't be getting the job. He should have been ousted with lennon. Sick of seeing his dour face around the club.

    Aye but Duff said he was amazing. Duff has been asked a question about someone who he would regard as a friend and has praised him, just like pretty much anybody would do when in that position. Said it weeks ago but all in the dugout should have been shown the door. They all played their part in the shambles this season. Kennedy has been given the job and changed pretty much nothing. Jobs for the boys has to be a thing of the past.

    Youth team coach, Mickey Mouse, it wouldn't have mattered. You can't put a guy in charge who has been part of the problem and expect things to change. It was a fresh face with fresh ideas we needed, not someone who has played his part in overseeing the shitshow this season.

    The fact it has been pretty evident since September/October time that Lennon wasn't the right man for the job, but then come February we had no other option basically other than to put Kennedy in charge after he finally decided to walk, just goes to show how badly run we are at boardroom level.

    FWIW I think Kennedy should stay at the club, although for me, not as first team manager.

    Under Rodgers I didn’t see him seeking all the credit for the success we witnessed, and likewise I can’t see him being totally to blame for the shambles this season has evolved into.

    He’s a loyal and competent employee, let down, like the rest of us, by an incompetent board and CEO

    Why should he stay? He offers nothing. Nothing at all. He needs to be handed his P45 and we go with a whole new back room staff.

    He is also part of the problem.

    He played a major part in a failed regime. What part of the past two games have shown him to be competent ? If anything, the past two games have made him look even less competent than the guy that has been hounded out, rightly, by all of us.

    His time is well and truly up here. We have gave him plenty. It's time he made a career for himself rather than being handed it all on a plate by our club.

    Look, that's exactly the attitude that made them being 20 points in front. They employ guys like Beale and we have Kennedy. A guy that plays the same failed system and players that Lennon used. He makes the same stupid substitutions. Takes of Turnbull and lets Christie, who did nothing all day, play the full 90min. I was open to see if he really is as good as some rumours said but the before-mentioned things are enough for me to send him on out to make a name of his own. Enough of the pals act which brought us here.
