I don't believe that winning is not important to Les.
What I do believe, though, is that he would rather persevere with a mistake in the hope that it works it alright, rather than hold his hands up, admit his mistake, and move on. His ego is more important than winning. It is quite simply arrogant beyond belief to continue to back MC after 9 wins in 43 games. However, that statement was absolutely a vote of confidence in MC, and we all know how those normally pan out for a manager.
The real question for me is, if we manage to stay up this year (which to be fair isn't unrealistic if we can somehow win a few games - we haven't played at home for the last 4 matches, and, despite having lost 4 of our last 5 at home, our home record this season is better than our away record), what do the board expect to happen next year? I appreciate that you don't develop as a manager in half a season, however if after 60+ games you haven't got the hang of it, you never will. If we do stay up, and do keep MC we will become a St. Mirren.
The harsh reality is that we will likely be 11th by the time our game kicks off on Sunday (Kilmarnock play Dundee Utd on Saturday).
We cannot afford to get cut adrift of the pack we are in.
