  1. Merged: All The Oran Kearney Threads

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted

    I think the manager is way out his depth. His signings ( or Gus macphersons) aren't doing it for me. We've signed so many players who don t know Scottish football and for the most part they've been pretty uninspiring. We would be been better dipping into the championship and getting some grafters to get us out of where we are

    It's kearneys  team now and the truth is we're stuck with them and him for rest season.

    I have to say the whole club is a bit of a shambles at the moment

    My main gripe is the chairman of a professional  club is getting involved in a public slanting match with one of his clubs fans in social media. Very unprofessional  in my opinion.  

    He could maybe have picked up the phone and chatted to the individual in question and kept it private.

    Of all the things to have a go at, a banner that I couldn't even read from the main stand is certainly not one of them.

    I was sitting 4 rows in front of Mr Scott and I could clearly hear the sectarian songs. I assume he could as well. Has he done anything about that?? 

    I wonder if he made any request to the match commander to deal with it?

    What, the public parks.

    Two indoor five as ide pitches. A gym . None of which we had at the stadium.  We also had a bar in complex at love st along with an aerobics hall.

    None of this at the new stadium  at time of  opening

    Yes we could've spent money then building a proper building, but it would have been at a cost to something else we delivered. Exactly same reason we had a void for so long, it wasn't the priority.

    It left us with poorer training facilities  than we had at love st.

    If we hadn't cut costs when building  the stadium  we would have an indoor five a side hall in a permanent  brick structure  but decided to save money and built the outdoor pitches before then spending more money to alter pitches and install and maintain  the dome.

    A short term idea at the time that's cost the club money and also lost us the revenue  from bookings every time the dome goes down.

    And our present chairman  was the director in charge of the new stadium  build and the one who pulled the plug on a permanent  structure  at the time I'm led to believe.

     

  17. David Longwell Leaving The Club

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Alex Neil was Hamiltons equivalent of David Longwell until he took over as manager. He was replaced in the youth role by Canning who also replaced him as first team coach.

    I'm not arguing with you over the value of Longwell. He's a very decent coach and he'll do very well in the US. The only criticism I'd have of Longwell would be in recruitment and in the structure St Mirren tied themselves into. They could have done something far more expansive and self financing but instead bought into the various pro youth structures instead. Whether that was ever Longwells own decision or not is something I can only speculate on.

    Alex Neil was never head of youth at Hamilton. He coached the 17s then 20s before taking over 1st team. Head of youth at Hamilton was Frank McAvoy. He moved down to Norwich with Alex Neil.
