The best move the owners have made was to get Neil in as manager. His experience and skill set have been invaluable.
It`s bloody tough being a legend

Couldn’t agree more Raymie. He’s a class act. Funny but his acknowledgement of McPake after the Hibs game was fantastic, really brought home the importance of a fully engaged management and ownership team.

I’m surprised Lennon hasn’t really been mentioned in conversations about bigger jobs, Aberdeen included. He clearly knows what he’s doing and, more importantly, he consistently gets a tune out of players who’ve been frozen out under previous regimes. Mehmet and Ngwenya are great examples of that. Lennon simplifies things and restores confidence, suddenly they look like proper assets again.
That ability alone should appeal to clubs operating with tighter budgets, because improving what you already have means less money spent on constantly rebuilding.
I’m actually glad he isn’t being linked elsewhere right now. He looks like someone who genuinely believes he’s building something here rather than just passing through. Maybe he’s happy where he is, and maybe it would take a truly massive offer to change his mind and I’m more than fine with that.

It would be interesting to look at the stats to highlight the "Lennon Effect."
We started the season reasonably well, but results took a downturn after Neil received a touchline ban, which includes the dressing room, I think? He was then on compassionate leave when he lost his father. Results and performances have been remarkable since he returned to the dugout.
Can anyone provide the numbers for these games? I can`t remember the dates he missed.
Not your average Sunday League player.

It was around the time of his dad`s passing and the QOTS away cup game.

I think he`d have to achieve something significant here before really being in the frame for other jobs - winning the league or maybe a good playoff run.
I asked chatgpt for examples of managers moving clubs fin Championship to Premiership and it could only come up with Derek McInnes and Jim McIntyre. McInnes moved after winning the Championship with Kilmarnock and McIntyre after taking QotS to the playoffs.
Derek McInnes → Heart of Midlothian — from Kilmarnock (Championship) to Hearts (Premiership) in May 2025.
Jim McIntyre → Ross County — from Queen of the South (Championship) to Ross County (Premiership) on 9 September 2014.
