magnus Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 2 minutes ago, Isle Of Bute Saint said: Was slaughtered for criticism on him regarding budget commnts. Clearly he sees our budget to low for our expectations And he may well be guilty of being realistic. It's all a gamble but he looked like one of the strongest of the named candidates.

Tommy Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Neilson, Stubbs, and McIntyre to have their interviews tomorrow apparently. At least the club are going to do interviews instead of the lazy way that Gilmour handed out the job in the past [emoji102] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If info IS being given to you I would be hugely disappointed in leaks within the club and someone at the club should be sacked. Again, there is no way TF would state that 4th is the bare minimum when we are going into the unknown against more established clubs. Finally, why would TF entertain enquiries from the likes of RN and make such alleged statements out with the recruitment process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintGlenburn Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 When a see some of the shite written on here from people who think they know about football it reminds me why i dont post very often these days.

SaintGlenburn Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 His replacement was a certain Ian Nicolson. The discerning Saints fans would have clearly been applauding Nicolson onto the park in anticipation of 99/00. Check out the other sub.http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1995&GameID=199508140 Pre contract 5 yrs in advance.

SaintGlenburn Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sad but the Gazza Strip would be more likely. Fabulous player in his prime. Possibly the most naturally gifted player ive ever seen in the flesh. IMO lightyears ahead of Larsson and Laudrup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintGlenburn Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yes actually. That's come from one of the horses mouths, literally. He said Fitzpatrick told him top 4, and nothing below top 6 would be acceptable. They ruled themselves out at that point. Neighhhh bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradonna at Hampden when he was 16 or so was the best I have seen but Gascoine was good, very good. His goal against Scotland at Wembley in 1996 summed him up. He was about to be subbed and then he does that......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see the word "true" in one of his posts, it's the exact opposite. If you don't see the word "true", then it's the same end result. Moral of the story? He talks shite all of the time.

Stu Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Fairly obvious why Neilson has pulled out. He was worried he'd get the blame for a striker Jack Ross released scoring more goals for his new club than a midfielder Jack Ross had also released.

There is your reason right there. Unrealistic expectations. I think flaw in your pish, is where you claim TF demands 4th spot “with the current squad”. What? As in half a squad? Seeing as JR hoofed at least 9 first team squad players before leaving. You really don’t think through your nonsense before you post it.
