So where do you think SMFC are going to go ?. Best I can ever see would be 4th. With a solid coach we could get 8th next season. Is it worth 4 places to appoint Guti and risk the lot. I think we need to get real about where we currently are and the resources we have.

Aye Alex Ferguson, quality comparison with Guti. Guti is up their with Gerrard. How much of a chance do you think there was of Steven Gerrard coming to St Mirren. Utter junk.

Scott is the brighter

Kluivert is a headcase

Guti with his status and background could start in Spain or elsewhere with a far better club that St Mirren. Appointing Guti is a nonsense. The last time we were relegated it nearly happened twice. We have had first class job done for 20 months. Get a solid proven coach in and build on Jack Ross's work, then take it from there. Guti my backside !

Appointing Guti will be a disaster for St Mirren. If he had the slightest bit of talent he wouldn't be anywhere near the Scottish Premiership. Just beggars belief that our board would even consider it. Kluivert and McCarthy is every bit as bad. They need to appoint a proper manager and get it done quick.

Ah I get it now. Never thought of that.

wtf

depends on your definition of mental ?

Well if United had appointed them instead of Lazlo at the time I think things might have been a bit more interesting. Keeping Ross County up when he did was a fantastic job and winning the league cup equally so. McGregor made a monumental error sacking them and deserved what he got for it. Did well at QOS and Dunfermline also. Think one or 2 are getting carried away with how big SMFC really are. They are more than capable of doing the job. The job is keeping us up next season pure and simple, all the top six stuff is just bull

Also done a good job at Doncaster. Well capable of doing SMFC job

What the heck is wrong with McIntyre and Dodds. They are more than able to do the job. If we get better then great but whats the big downer on these 2 ?

No its "DICK" & "HEAD"

Apart from the Stubbs bit I'd say correct.

I'd say it was Jack Ross's input that done for Neilson ? Wrong appointment and we have dodged a bullet. Kearney or McIntrye unless there is some left field candidate

The Sunderland job is not too big for Jack Ross. He's a gamble for Sunderland as he's only managed at Scottish Championship level but they will have done their due diligence on him and came to conclusion that he is well capable. I really don't know how you can say he's not capable. His management record is first class at Alloa and St Mirren. He's hugely regarded by players and coaches alike. Terrific man manager and motivator. All these talents attracted Sunderland. I personally think Jack Ross will be a huge success at Sunderland. What more do you think Jack Ross could have achieved ?

Kearney would be a huge gamble we have just had 20 months of recovery why risk wasting it by January !

Of the listed candidates it should be a straight fight between Neilson and McIntrye. I wouldnt consider any of the rest. Why are we for one second potentially taking a gamble on McCoist. If Ally McCoist wants another chance in management he should do it in the Championship or lower and prove himself. He is not what we need right now. I prefer McIntrye but Robbie Neilson is far better option than any of the others and knows what it takes like Jim McIntyre.

The same thing happened with Derek Adams and look at the job he's doing at Plymouth as well as Ross County. I think McGregor is the common denominator here ?

Why would McIntyre immediately mean a relegation battle as opposed to Neilson. With the teams that Jim McIntyre had in the Premiership it was always going to be a relegation battle. He did win a cup with Ross County !!!. Would you take back Danny Lennon over Neilson ? Going up this season is always most likely going to be a relegation battle with our current resources. At least McIntrye has successful experience of it. Neilson doesn't ? Neilson managed Hearts one of the biggest clubs in Scotland with Levein overseeing everything. I personally think Jim McIntyre would have achieved every bit as much success at Hearts as Robbie Neilson did. I also don't think he'd have failed at MK Dons in the way Neilson did. That has to be a concern ? McIntyre has always managed in his own right and been successful. Neilson had an experienced and capable manager like Levein for guidance and help. I'm hoping we get better than either

So whats holding it up. You mentioned that a few days back ?

So might you

Why not us ? I reckon Jim McIntyre is well capable of doing the SMFC job with Billy Dodds as assistant. I'd personally prefer him to Neilson of all the obvious, probably lazy candidates listed. Have a feeling it will be none of the obvious though.

Magennis is the only player in the St Mirren squad who Jack Ross would remotely look at and that would need to be the Magennis of the season before last to get a game at Sunderland. McGinn would struggle to find a League 2 team in England and Reilly for me would be Conference !

He doesn't have to restore a reputation and to be honest i'm amazed Sunderland have appointed Jack Ross with the level of experience he has. Lambert won League One with Norwich, bounced them through the Championship the following season then kept them in the Premiership !. Far better choice than Jack Ross ?
