Through to the last 16 though.

Aitken’s star really has crashed in the last 12 months.

And Dunfermline.

Yes he did, season 2011-12 if I’m not mistaken.

Why MacPherson is even being mentioned is beyond me. Not managed in the top league in 8 years and not managed in the top 2 leagues in 6 years. Got Queens Park relegated to League 2 last season. Also I very much doubt he would leave a very cushy number at Queens where his position is full time and appears very secure.

Main problem was that he felt he was bigger than the club. He found out the hard way that was not the case.

MacPherson is a busted flush. Why has no other club in the Premier wanted his fire fighting ‘talents’ in the last 8 years?

Stubbs certainly did not have a preference for Scottish players, and without going all nativist that was a real problem.

Not really. We are in the Premiership and stable financially. As with all vacant football manager posts there will be no shortage of candidates. It’s all about getting the right one.

Jim McIntyre turned down Falkirk for a reason. I’d be very surprised if he is not our new boss.

The signs weren’t right from the beginning. First media interviews and he never mentioned the words St Mirren, choosing instead to reference Brendan, Stevie G and Hibs. I just got the impression that he didn’t want to be here. As for his recruitment it was abysmal and leaves the next guy with a big job to do.

Crystal Palace knew they had made a bad appointment after about 4 games last season and binned their manager, it saved their season.

Gus hasn’t managed a single Premiership match since leaving Saints. 1 promotion and 2 relegations since then. His time has come and gone.
