Fair enough, results matter. But let’s not pretend league position is the whole conversation. Loyalty and process count too, and you can see why supporters want to give a manager time to shape the squad and style.
Numbers don’t tell the full story
Look at how you laid it out: when Rohl started we had 8 points and Motherwell had 9. The manager some want in has actually won six points more than Jens Berthel Askou. Those are facts. Do they prove everything? No. But they do mean the quick-sack argument looks thinner than it first appears.
Process over panic
To be fair, people want instant fixes. Who wouldn’t like a couple of quick wins? Trouble is, football isn’t a magic trick. If you value a coherent recruitment plan, bedding in youngsters, pressing shape and a club-wide process, you can’t realistically expect the whole thing to click overnight. Patience doesn’t mean blindness; it means judging progress in context, not just points on a board.
Comparisons and what they actually mean
Yes, McInnes has them five points ahead of us and ten ahead of Motherwell, and that’s a fair talking point. But swapping managers because someone else looks better on paper right now ignores the reasons we might back our own. Let McInnes test himself elsewhere if that’s what people want to see. If he thrives under different pressures, fair play — he deserves credit. Meanwhile we have a manager who, by the numbers you gave, is outperforming him in the specific comparison you made. That matters.
In short: I’d stick with Rohl. Not out of stubbornness, but because there’s a case for continuity here. If things go south in an obvious, sustained way, that’s another debate. For now, give the process room to breathe.
