gc_SMFC Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 If a manager actually has a means to implement his tactical ideas, and a good range of contacts to attract players then a knowledge of Scottish football isn't all too important. If anything the refusal or the length of time it takes to embrace new ideas in this country, has limited our football identity. I wouldn't say the managers that have Scottish experience are what we should be looking for, unless we are ready to back them financially like their prior clubs.

I buy regardless of whoever's in charge which is probably the same as quite a few on here. My point regarding sales was more to do with first time, lapsed etc. I believe the appointment of a different type of manager i.e. a big name would have created a stir , and created a buzz amongst our non buying ST supporters which may have resulted in increased sales. I also believe a bigger named manager than the ones now being mentioned would have helped with loss of Jack Ross. You never know, maybe we'll still pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Drew Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 35 minutes ago, StuD said: St Mirren have mishandled this spectacularly. What they should have done is put out the story that they were interviewing Allan McManus and Jamie Langfield for the job. Then with the fans seriously underwhelmed they could have got the support behind them as at the last minute they dramatically produce Alan Stubbs as manager. Instead they've built everyone up to the extent that some have been goading Rangers fans about the quality of manager St Mirren were going to recruit - only to pop the bubble to scenes of great hilarity at the expense of St Mirren fans as Gordon Scott says the final shortlist includes a PE teacher. Stop talking shite, Stuart. St Mirren never mentioned Guti, Kluivert, or McCarthy. The club haven't identified any candidates at all. Just like the scarecrow trying to have a wank, you are clutching at straws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree and well put mate . Lots of speculation and I simply hope the board pick the best man and we all get behind him and the club. We may all be surprised.

As has been mentioned, there was real expectation, that, IMO had diminished at this moment in time. You're taking this away off point Ned, calm down. Very calm here bud. Very positive too.

norrie82 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Appointing Mcintyre and Dodds wouldn't be popular. Mcintyre polled 1 percent in a recent poll. They got fired from County yet rock up to replace one of the best management teams we have had. No not for me.

Most managers in Scotland have been sacked at some point. Even Brendan R. I think JMcI did a pretty good job at the clubs he managed including a cup win. If our primary goal this season is to stay up then maybe someone like Jim is the right man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not Mark. If I did it with anyone it would have been Stephen Kenny although I would hope that telling everyone he should get it, but won't would indicate it's more of a wish than a rumour.

The board is full of Saints fans who want the best for the club we have got to put trust in their judgment and go along with it. I will no matter who it is.

I knew next to nothing about Tom Hendrie, I hadn’t a clue about Dummett or Newton, Andy Dorman.... Isma who? So, manager or player, I give them a go. Jack Ross was hardly stellar at the beginning. However, I retain the right to feel excited, meh, or depressed about the names being quoted, and currently, I am floating mid-way between depressed and meh.
