Football is an entertainment businesses. We're not being entertained at the moment. I can't believe that Winkelman is happy with the rapid decline both on and off the pitch. But Neilson was his choice. Which begs the question, who advised him? Anyone with a passing interest in footy could've told you that employing a manager who regularly set Hearts up 5-5-0 would hardly be banging the goals in.


I read in an interview Winkie gave last November where he said something like he would never forgive himself or it would hang over his head for a long time if he got the managerial appointment wrong. Maybe he's just saving face by not acting.

Think most fans know enough of Winkie as a person to know he's likely not very happy at all with results or our style of football a
t the moment. We've seen how passionate he is and also how honest he has been to fans at games, calling results "shit" etc. In fact, I think Winkie is like a lot of us and doesn't promote spin or try and make a turd look shiny.

I'm not one to call for a managers head. But as Gers said, it's an entertainment business and for the most part I have spent the last three seasons bored shitless. And this current one is the worst of the lot.

A team filled with good players, but one that's apparently devoid of passion, attacking intent and any obvious tactical approach to a game beyond lets keep it tight until we give away a sloppy goal or two, and then try to have a go.

I might have a fiver on Hyde on Friday.

You should maybe find a different sport to support, because your expectations of football are never going to be matched by any club.

I might have exaggerated slightly. I don't expect brilliant performances every week, i don't expect great entertainment every week, but the killer is I no longer even hope for it. The die hards, and I count myself as one, will mostly put up with it, but not many others will.

I've agreed with Donmentor twice in one weekend. It must be the coming of The Rapture!
