Eddie Howe has to win a two-horse race next season.
It is the same two-horse race that has dominated Scottish football for a destructive and boring 36 years.
Essentially, if Howe can find a way of beating Rangers, he will be a hero. Finish one place below them in the league and he will be zero.
If Eddie could deliver a Champions League win, he might survive one season of finishing second in the league. Do that and he will, generously, be given an extra 12 months to unseat the Ibrox club.
Fail for 24 months and Howe will find his career and body heading South again,
Meantime, the ten Also Rans in the Premiership will continue to do what they do so well.
LOSE.
No other football league on the planet has the percentage of Also Rans present in the Scottish Premiership.
86% of the clubs playing in the top league have zero chance of winning the league.
Indeed, five of the clubs in the Premiership have NEVER in their history finished as league winners.
That’s over 500 years of aggregate failure.
This catalogue of failure MUST end.
Time for Change.
