Ronny Deila has come to the end of the road. Some of our fans are in favour of giving him until the end of the season. Others want him gone right away. Few, if any, still support his being boss for the start of the next campaign.

When he was appointed I was one of many who applauded the move, believing our board when they said he was a talented up and coming boss with radical new ideas which would take our club in a fresh, and exciting, direction. Some disagreed, saying he was a cheap option. They bristled when it was discovered that he had originally been pegged as Lennon’s number two.

In the first season we saw some positive signs, along with some alarming ones. Most notable was our drive towards the treble. Most frightening were our early displays in Europe and signs of tactical naivety which haunted his second spell in charge.

In the second season, it all went wrong, and it’s time we did a proper analysis of what happened and why. Ronny seemed to have good concepts. At the heart of what he was trying to do was a revolution of sorts … and perhaps that’s part of the problem.
