I am sure it is not connected  due to injuries etc but our record is not as good since he left.

 

See the last two pages. Not really all that bad, too small of a sample size and I would say Shelvey and Gayle being injured had a HUGE impact. Which you have already acknowledged, TBF.

 

Not to say I don't rate Cathro as a coach. Obviously highly rated, done it in Europe the proper way and I'm glad he is doing well now as a manager. Kris Boyd still mouthing off?

Whether he's top manager material remains to be seen but there's clearly something special there for him to have coached at a good level in Portugal, Spain & England and be chosen to manage a relatively decent club in Scotland at that age.

Looking at the comments, looks like it's gone south since thumping Rangers. :lol:

 

Think he's only won twice so far.

After a rough start he's won 4 drawn 3 and lost 2 (to Celtic and 2nd placed Aberdeen) in his last 9, its a derby in a cup game, so people are probably overreacting.

Well he's 3-0 down in a derby and Hibs are a league below Hearts

Maybe just doesn't have the right character to be a manager. Clearly must have some good ideas about him to get the jobs that he's had.

There are definitely people better suited to be lieutenants than generals. Suspect he's cut from that cloth.

He's 30. He needs the experience. Way too early to say if he's ever going to be a good manager or not.

Also true. Was maybe a bit early for him. Go back to coaching and try again in 5-10 years when he's a bit more experienced and frankly the rather daft but likely thing of players maybe respecting someone olders opinions a bit more.

There are a lot of factors that go into building a winning team. This being his first appointment means he's solving a lot of problems for the first time and he's not going to find the answers right away. I think the last thing he needs to do is retreat back to coaching. He needs to learn from the mistakes he's making, adapt, improve, probably develop a little more versatility. But taking a few years off seems like a terrible way to do that.

He'll only get so many chances though, why rush into first team management? It's not a bad thing to realise you're not totally ready yet, there's other ways to work on things and improve himself than to immediately jump into another first team manager role if this one continues to not work out.
