Ian Murray was three years ago for goodness sake. It was a poor appointment by a board who had lost their way and has no relevance to what is occuring at Saints these days.
-
What next? Women’s teams? Wouldn’t put it past Dongcaster.

Not for Murray - it got him the Saints job!
And as I said the appointment was well received by the majority of our support.
IIRC Murrays honeymoon with the fans lasted until he signed Alan Gow.
Gow who had already been brought to the club by Teale.

Clearly we will appoint a manager who will be out of work and a journeyman. It doesn't have to be this way. Go for Mellon or the lad from Ireland. Don't just appoint mcintyre as he's cheap and will work for less than jack. Top six is a pipe dream anyhow with our budget.
Have to say I’m not sure about Kearney, would probably be too much of a gamble. Mellon though would an interesting appointment.

Can’t understand the negativity towards Stubbs and McIntyre.
I’d be happy with either appointment.
Totally agree David. I honestly don’t know who some of our fans think we can attract. Either Stubbs or McIntyre would be a safe pair of hands appointment which I reckon is what we need as we return to the top flight.

At Hampden. What was he doing there? Talking to Gus perhaps, better not tell Shull he might crash his taxi with excitement.

Has anyone mentioned plastic pitches....?
Shouldn’t be an issue as they aren’t allowed in the EFL.

are we the 1st club to have approached Coleraine about speaking with him about a vacancy? Why has no oneelse spotted his potential in 7 years with the same club? How many other teams in the league are part time?
Every team in the Irish League is part time I enjoy I think, maybe Linfield are full time but that would be about it.

I'm disappointed we have missed out on OWare and Sibbald , exactly the kind of player we should be looking for and very much within our our budget , my hope is that Jack does us alright and sends a couple of decent loanees up for us to have a look at .
I’m happy to avoid these players. Lower end Championship types will get us nowhere in the league we are now in.

Brian Reid, recently signed from the soapdodgers, did in his cruciate ligament that night IIRC.
That happened during Campbell Money’s testimonial game in 1991. McAvennie played for Saints as a guest in that game.

because of the players who Fergie had signed to the first team and reserves and scouting network he had put in place. Have you had a look at the squad Jack has bequeathed to us for next season? We have 6 or 7 players who are easily the right quality for the top division and another 4 or 5 that are gambles at that level and a few that didn't cut it in the Championship.
Fergie had been in charge for nearly 4 years when he left. Also it was much easier to build a settled squad in those days as footballers contracts were one step up from that of an indentured labourer which meant there was less player movement than there is these days. The advent of freedom of contract in the early 80s meant clubs could no longer hold on to registrations of players when they had turned down reduced terms and then the Bosman ruling really opened up the player market meaning it became much more fluid with players moving more frequently.

Alot of Rumours doing the rounds on Facebook and Twitter that a (Big Name Manager was close to a deal with us).
One comment was it "would upstage Gerrard for Ibrox" another comment was it would be a "major coup".
Anyone willing to name who it is???Guti

Halkett I’ll give you but O’Ware is average and there will be better available out there.
-
Can’t say I’m too worried if O’Ware joins someone else. Championship player at best, would like us to sign Halkett though. Also can’t understand the panic from some of our fans when random players sign for other clubs, maybe it is just the default setting for some folks.
-
Livi also signed Steven Saunders from TNS today, might have been Premiership quality in the past but not anymore.

Henrik Larsson has entered the betting list on various sites.
Also believe this is 100% true but one side is more keen than the other. Still, if he was to be interviewed next week, I'd think he's got as much a chance as anyone.
Was he not the manager when Helsingborg got relegated? Every manager has skeletons lurking in the closet.

Potter would be a fantastic appointment, but it won't happen, if he leaves Sweden it'll be for an English team.
Read that Swansea are interested in Graham Potter. Surely John Potter isn’t being quoted as a serious contender for our job?

What’s Gary Teale up to these days?
Staying as well away from the St Mirren dug out as possible hopefully.

Who has ruled themselves out? I know Goodwin is staying at Alloa but that may have been because he knew his chances of getting the job were slim. What other realistic contenders have said no, or is it just that some of our fans doing their usual panic?

Did he not win away to Hibs?
So he did. Was thinking just about league games.

Aye, but everybody knew (bar the Board) that Tommy Craig couldn't hack it at manager level. Has McManus not got the best stats as our manager, even though it was temporary.
One defeat and one draw in his 2 games.

Good luck in trying to get DOP to admit any chance of error.
