There's been quite a few polls in the last 36 hours and it's crazy the changes in results.
People are obviously warming to McInnes. Make it happen King.
I think it's a realisation that this is the level we are at now, given that we don't have the money we had twenty years ago, and given that Scottish football is not the draw it once was.
I remember a lot of Bears being somewhat underwhelmed when McLeish - the Hibs boss - was announced as Advocaat's successor. Well that was sixteen years ago when we were still spending millions, this is now 2017 when we are still recovering from the nightmare of liquidation in the pursuit of becoming Scottish champions again.
Ideally, we'd have sailed up through the divisions first time of asking, Mark Warburton would have won us the league by twenty points last season and we'd currently be top of the league and fighting for a last 16 spot in the CL after Christmas. That's more or less the ceiling of what a Scottish club can achieve, and we will get back there, but there will be hiccups long the way. Spending two seasons in the Championship was one such hiccup. The cup exit to Motherwell another, culminating in Pedro's sacking.
We hit rock bottom when we were being run by the Wigs and playing fourth tier Scottish football. But despite not being back to where we want to be yet, we're getting closer every season. Are we in a better place now than in 2012? Yes.
2013? Yes.
2014? Yes.
2015? Yes.
2016? Yes.
McCoist, McDowell, McCall, Warburton, Murty and Caixinha have all played their part to getting us back this far, and now we pass the baton onto someone else. Hopefully that man, whoever he is, will be the man who lands us title number 55, without the need for another change of manager before that glorious day inevitably arrives.
Tolerance and sanity, always.
