This must be the first time in history that a team 16 points clear in a league face a call for the manager to be sacked.
This is the position Robbie Neilson finds himself in at Hearts.
Supporters forget that the last time Robbie left Hearts, the club were 2nd in Premiership and had just humbled Rangers
At the time, I asked the Foundation of Hearts to intervene to keep Robbie at Tynecastle – but I was told elements of the Hearts support were happy to see him go.
There are foolish people everywhere it seems.
There certainly needs to be a big turnover of players at Tynecastle – and Robbie needs to be given the opportunity to make the changes.
When the manager has been able to pick his strongest team, Hearts have been ok, as 2nd-best Celtic found in the 2020 Cup Final – and as did Hibs in the semi-final.
Sadly, the squad players are simply dross. They need to be removed.Against Brora, Hearts were missing 5 players from their best 11. Others were playing out of position.
Those brought in were simply rubbish.
Frankly, too much money has been spent on the stadium – the same is true of Aberdeen – more needs to be invested in players.
The Foundation needs to support Robbie – and start raising the funds to improve the player pool.
