Dave The Buddie Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Stop looking back. Gus had his time and was successful but we would have plenty of other options if we are looking for a new manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't think Gus is the way forward, he's not exactly been a roaring success anywhere else after he left us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykey Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I can see why you would want Gus back, personally I would prefer Danny and I'm sure Tedious Tom wants Hendrie, Hendrie Indeed, but I think it's best to let the past stay in the past. The next manager should be motivational, increase fitness and stamina, and encourage a quick passing game, pressing high up the pitch. I don't care if he's Scottish or not or if I've heard of him or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in this exact position before Gus was appointed and led us to a sustained period in the top flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) We need someone competent and with a plan, not a lot to ask for when you consider just how much Murray is completely out of his depth, and quite clearly has no idea how to manage the players. Football clubs of our size and stature seem to go through cycles where by we have a period of success, and then it all goes tits up. We need stability and a long term plan with decent investment. It's not going to happen with the current BOD. So the period of struggle will continue until such times as we see the club sold one way or another.

stlucifer Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Have to say I liked Gus when he was in charge, it wasn't always pretty but you knew what you were getting come kickoff Toward the end of his tenure it was dire in a footballing sense. And his arrogance shone through. He refused to invest in youth His intransigence went to the extremes. He left our bench short rather than utilise our academy simply to advertise his loathing of youth over experience. We need an improvement but we don't need to revert to the bad old days of over the hill has been friends such as Allan MAGIC? Johnston. His "magic" skills appeared to be to hide a part of the subs bench for most of his time. Edited November 29, 2015 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPhersons got plenty of kids in his side at Queens Park, an Academy that has seen kids like GMS and Andrew Robertson come through in recent years. Maybe MacPhersons just didn't rate what was coming through at St Mirren, perhaps with justifiable cause. McLean and McGinn were the first products of any disernable ability to come through and they'd have been too young 6 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't put them on the bench so we didn't have to pay them a bonus. I liked McPherson but I certainly don't see him coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Definitely the best Saints manager I've ever seen. Won't be coming back with the current BOD in situ certainly, but I'd love to have him back one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine he would have learned from his experience during his time at St Mirren that no one is bigger than the club. By the end of his tenure he seemed to believe that the club couldn't function without him at the helm and that we were lucky to have him. Perhaps second time around he might value the club and the people around it a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good sensible post sir, I actually fully agree with everything that you've said. Thanks Kendo. A lot of time has passed since MacPherson was at the club and my attitude has probably softened a bit. We need someone who will make us hard to beat and competitive at this level and for all his faults MacPherson managed that and was able to progress us. We could do a lot worse than consider him for the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 All of us are grasping for straws it's been shit for too long not just this season. It's getting to the stage we would take anyone just for the sake of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurich_allan Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't understand why people are saying we were hard to beat under Gus, rose tinted glasses in my opinion. Whilst anything would be better than what we have now, the last two seasons under Gus, whilst having the occasional highlight, consisted of non-football, lack of anything resembling forward play, and multiple cases of conceding goals to either lose or draw games in the last 10 minutes of games. Maybe the current rubbish we're being served has clouded the judgement of some, but Gus back? Absolutely not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
