    He must be given a chance, it’s not been good so far but sacking him after 4 league games would be crazy IMO. 
    Hopefully he can sort out the defence as we’ve got some decent players in front of them.

    Stubbs dealings in the transfer market could well be his downfall but the players need to have a long look at themselves, especially the guys who were here last season who seem to be in a bit of a huff.

    If GLS is going to pull the trigger get McIntyre in to try sort it out.

    We don’t know the ins and outs of the contract. We don’t know what sort of performance related clauses that could potentially trigger a parting of ways. We don’t know if there’s a probationary period involving maybe a reduced settlement fee. 
    I don’t think we can criticise GLS too much without knowing what’s involved in the deal.

    Cammy is a fantastic player but maybe everyone is jumping to conclusions saying he’s not wanted and is available for transfer. 
    Stubbs telling him if you’re not happy with being dropped or not happy playing for me then you’re free to find another club doesn’t mean he’s not wanted. 
    The gaffer is quite right to tell any player this. Either you’re on board or you’re out the door.  I support this 100% regardless who the player is.
    Maybe Jackson was telling him to put his dummy back in and go play some football as his body language his moody attitude has been really evident since last week. 
    Last week was embarrassing from everyone wearing the stripes, it was like no single f**ks were given out on that pitch. Yesterday was much better from the players in terms of their attitude and desire to play and fight for the club.
    They need to remember that they are playing for us, not Stubbs or anyone else on the coaching team. Nothing less than 100% is acceptable and we’ve not been getting that so far. Yesterday was better.
    If the players get on board and Stubbs can somehow sort the defence out then we will start picking up points IMO. 
    I’m not happy with what’s been on display so far but the chants of Stubs get to f**k after 4 league games were embarrassing IMO.

    Have to agree with all of that.
    I wasn't impressed by any of the candidates for the job, but when Stubbs was appointed I've backed him from the outset. Albeit, I can see the glaring errors he has made and I'm fast running out of goodwill towards him.
    FWIW I think any manager would find it difficult to put together a competitive team from the squad that has been assembled over the summer.
    We'll most likely get nothing from the green bigot game. All I ask for is a competitive performance where we keep it tighter than we have in defence compared to recent weeks. It would be nice for the game not to be over by half time, but,even in recent times, better teams than our current one have had their arses felt in the first half by the green bigots at St.Mirren Park.
    Let's see what happens in the Hamilton game. It's a game we should be looking to win. If we do win or get a point through an improved and competitive performance, then maybe we could build on that.
    Lose in the manner that we have done recently, then it's hard to see a way back for Stubbs et al.

    On the face of it you're right
    4 games is no time to judge a team
    I want Stubbs to succeed as it doesn't look good sacking a guy so early and at great cost too
    But with Craig i knew after a couple of games he was a no no
    Stubbs i was willing to give benefit of the doubt right up to Fri night
    But he failed to address two areas of his squad that needed strengthening
    Yesterday no surprise game finished after 30 mins for the 4th game in a row
    Would a new manager get anymore of this squad assembled
    Jack Ross couldn't do it with Alec Rae squad and things only improved once he got his own men
    So do we stick with Stubbs (On my knees here) and pray for things pick up until X-mas as nothing will change with the squad anyway
    Or get a new man in remember Stubbs replacement at Rotherham lasted 5 games as he could do nothing with the squad he left
    Decisions which would have been easier if he wasn't on a 3 year deal
    Could we also cut out the crap aimed at Stubbs
    Nice man shouldn't be subjected to abuse because he's struggling at his job

    I do see and feel your sense of frustration at Alan Stubbs.
     
    Us at Rotherham were upset by his appointment as we wanted an experienced manager (we turned down Gary Bowyer, Steve Mclaren and Tony Mowbray).
    He brought in players who were substandard and the chairman even said he was worried about the new signings. He let both Leon Best and Matt Derbyshire go and took an eternity to bring in the ageing Dexter Blackstock. On a THREE year contract that the chairman had to pay up. He had no connection with the fans. He always sat on the bench during the game and let assistant John Doolan do the talking. There was a huge cheer when he decided to do some managing from the sides. 
    He said after his last game that the players are told the same things and dont listen so he is either confusing them or they dont want to know.
    We paid him off after 5 months around 350 k and Doolan went too. The team was that bad that next manager Kenny Jacket walked after 5 games.
    So yes he is not management or a people person.
