AllyM Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The two 8th places themselves are pretty impressive, given that we haven't equaled it since the 1980s under any manager before or since. However, that League Cup run was astonishingly good: Ayr (home) 5-1 Hamilton (home) 1-0 Aberdeen (away) 2-2 (4-2 on penalties) Celtic (neutral) 3-2 Hearts (neutral) 3-2 He deserves a huge amount of credit.

Saint Garf Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Danny deserves it, not only a cup winning manager, but a gent, a guy who was a fantastic ambassador for the club during his time with us. Always represented the club brilliantly in interviews and any public appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Danny deserved another go given how his last season ended. BUT I understood why some folk felt otherwise. At the end of the day, the folly wasn't who we got rid of. It was who we kept and who we didn't bring in. Danny does deserve his accolade and, having met him during his tenure and since, I think he is a true gentleman of the game.

I didn't say Danny Lennons achievements had been better... I said that he was a better manager!

Smith went on to manage Aberdeen and Dundee United. Danny went on to manage Alloa and Airdrie. Sure his football might have been pretty, but look where that's got him.

(no the statue bit you understand ) However, he is certainly not the man or manager he was during this fantastic cup win. I can remember being in the stand when we beat rangers on a Christmas eve and wanting to shake his hand for making my 800 mile round trip for the day worthwhile, but at the end of his st mirren tenure he was really quite sad and pathetic and he has continued on that downward spiral in my opinion, whining in the papers about not getting managers jobs was reckless and stupid.

Is there relegation from and promotion to it from the, ahem, league below? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
