Because he’s a foreign coach with very little understanding of Scottish football (and that’s not a slight on him, it’s just what it is) and he inherited an absolute shit show from his predecessor. Like I said it’s just a hunch and I could be totally wrong but I just don’t see Michael Wimmer being here long term.
-
Because I think he might well chuck it in the summer. Based on nothing mind you, just a hunch but as I said yesterday this just doesn’t feel like a long term tenure.
-
If we are relegated he will go, I’m pretty certain of that. It may well be on his own terms or a mutual agreement but he’ll be gone at the end of the season if we are no longer in the top flight imo. I actually suspect that he might go in the summer regardless of what league we are in.

We need points badly to keep ourselves away from the playoff spot. Playing a side that are coming off a bad result and who know that they need to win to secure top six does not work in our favour. Had Hearts won yesterday and secured top six their approach to this game would have been completely different and they may even have rested players ahead of the Scottish Cup Semi Final. They may we’ll still have beaten us as we are hopeless but facing a Hearts side who had already secured top six would have given us a better chance of a result against them than facing a Hearts side knowing they need to win.

Regardless of the squad he has or the way he’s used his players I will be very surprised if Michael Wimmer is still our manager come the end of 2025. It just has that feel of short term tenure.
-
It’s anything but a dead rubber but nothing to do with any silly wee dreams about top six, it’s about keeping us away from the playoff spot.

So Hearts lose today at home to Dundee Utd. That is literally the WORST result that we could have hoped for. Because firstly it’s going to be yet another side coming off a bad result playing against us and needing points. Say no more. And secondly it keeps our outside hopes of top six alive and we all know that that never ends well. I expect the social media team to try and hype this game up all week as a “chance to secure history” and all that nonsense. Videos of players giving sound bites aplenty like Luke Armstrong saying “it can be done” whilst swishing his pony tail. Andy Halliday giving the camera a dead eye stare and saying “it’s time” And Lennon Miller doing a few keepy-uppys and then just nodding. 0-3 Hearts

It’s unlikely that StJ will catch us but as I said they’ve just got a result that we absolutely would not have got. Had that been us playing Celtic at Fir Park today we would have lost by at least two goals. So they will gain some degree of confidence from that. The playoffs for us are most likely. We will lose to Hearts next week and then it will be all down to how many points we can pick up in the last five games. On current form and with the team we have it’s hard to see us picking up many, if any points. Bum status: squeaky
-
Yip, sickening to see St.Johnstone get a result that we could only dream of and more importantly it pulls them closer to us. Anyone who doesn’t think that relegation is a distinct possibility is dreaming.
-
That’s my thoughts too. Clearly Wimmer was up against it from the off and the squad of utter shite that he inherited was not of his doing, but the players he is picking are simply not up to it and you don’t see things improving any time soon. Personally I’ll be amazed if we avoid the playoffs and you wouldn’t bank on this squad of dross having the ability and fight to win a two-legged tie against whatever Championship side we end up facing. And after that I’d expect us and Wimmer to part company whether that’s on his terms or ours.

Another defeat 0-3
-
Next week is already a write off imo. Hearts will have their sights firmly set on securing top six and we don’t have the quality to get a result against them. * So it’s going to come down to the post split fixtures and at the moment it’s hard to see us getting any sort of momentum or even a positive result with the squad of players we have. The playoffs are a serious possibility. * I know we won 3-1 against them back in August but that was a long time ago and things have changed since then. Hearts have improved significantly and we have been dismal for months.
-
Okay mate fair enough. Though it wouldn’t take much to be more positive than me! However I think that any talk of us still being in contention for top six is utterly wild when you look at our form (Ibrox apart) and the squad of dross that we have. Like I said the other day, it’s not happening.
-
Give it up seriously. You’re starting to sound like James McFadden commentating on a Scotland game when they’re 0-2 down at 70 minutes. “Ye know whit if we score soon we might still huv a chance of gettin back in this”
-
If and it is a big IF we avoid relegation then Wimmer needs to be gutting out about 90% of that squad in the summer because it is largely hopeless.
-
Oxborough needs to be back in goal next week at the very least. Not that it will make much difference.
-
Assume the red was for his studs being up?
-
Big punt up the park, defence all over the place, can’t clear lines, goalkeeper hopeless and we concede. Pathetic stuff.
-
That teams never scoring today.
-
Given that our current options are mostly mediocre at best then Allan Campbell would be a significant upgrade.
-
We have zero chance of top six. We are not getting six points from the games against Killie and Hearts. It’s just not happening.
-
Two poor teams playing on the worst pitch in the league. If there is to be a winner It will come down to who is less poor on the day. 1-0 home win.
-
One goal off but pretty much spot on. Well done MJC
-
The squad is full of mediocre/poor players so it’s no surprise. As you say that’s clearly not Wimmers fault but he’s inherited a shite squad and he’s got a big challenge to try and get a tune out of it.
-
Can see this being a heavy defeat tbh. 5-1 home win
