Stick with Danny or time for change?

Short version: I'm not sure the answer is simply sack or keep. Danny has made tactical errors, that's obvious, but the bigger picture feels like a chronic problem with recruitment, the club's player model and a lack of creative spark in midfield.

Where we are with Danny

To be fair, managers have come and gone and each left a different mark. Some steadied the ship in Old Firm games, others brought European runs and cups. Danny's tactics have been questioned and you can see why fans are restless. But results are only part of it — gameplans need players who can execute them, and that's where the conversation often stalls.

The bigger problem — creativity and midfield

Look at the heart of the pitch. There's precious little invention. When people say "there's a player there" it rings hollow if that player isn't delivering in tight moments. Possession percentages and shape only take you so far. You still need midfielders who can create between the lines, unlock sides and feed the forwards. Right now we lack that consistent creative influence. That exposes tactical flaws and makes managerial ideas look worse than they might actually be.

Player model, recruitment and leadership

The idea of selling one big name and having a developer ready to step up makes sense on paper. The difficulty lies in recruitment: finding players suited to the league who want to be here, who buy into the style and who strengthen our leadership group. We keep players who don't fit, and let others linger when they should have moved on. Names have been mentioned around here — you know who I mean — and it feels like several decisions have been mishandled.

So what's the verdict? I'm not blindly backing Danny, but I'm also not convinced a managerial change alone fixes things. Fix recruitment, recruit creativity, and sort the captaincy and leadership in the dressing room. Do that and the manager has a much better chance of making things work.
