There was one very clear message on Follow Follow tonight following the 1-1 draw at home to Livingston.
There is barely a bear left standing that backs Giovanni van Bronckhorst to continue as manager but there is a resignation that the invisible board won’t take the action required.
Paying off a full coaching squad then hiring a new management team won’t come cheaply- and it will take a particularly desperate out of work manager to accept the task of getting a tune out of the squad assembled by Ross Wilson.
Today’s result is no surprise to anyone that has watched the single goal wins over Motherwell and Dundee that followed the 7-1 defeat from Liverpool.
The football is as dull, boring and predictable as the manager who exists inside a media bubble of self congratulations, stuffed with fawning fan media lapping up the joy of being on-message.
On Wednesday van Bronckhorst starts a seven day run of matches away to Napoli followed by Aberdeen and Ajax at home. Having already endured a sequence of 0-4, 0-4 and 0-3 the omens look bleak for the Dutchman.
