You always blame the board, get a grip.

I wonder.. wall he be any good?
Hopefully one day he will be standing on the shoulders of giants and not end up just f*#king in the bushes..

Until yesterday our website listed Alan Gow as a footballer. Mistakes happen.

Could be Robbie Winters he's a free agent.

Don't you dare compare them to arseholes!!????????
Arseholes have a purpose and are quite useful!!

Who is Carswell and what does he do for a living ?

but it does mean they are among the best in Scotland.

Yes

I think with regard the sale of the club that if someone is holding out hope that a new owner comes in and pumps millions into the club then they are going to be sadly disappointed. I love this club to the bottom of my heart but when all said and done we are a small club, operating within a market with very little opportunity to turn any sort of profit.
A showcase for selling players on would be the only viable model I can imagine any prospective "external" bidder finding possible which is the sort of thing Claude Anelka tried at Raith Rovers. We all know how that one went.
Whilst the club is permanently seen as being "skint" and "tight", it's really the case that we operate within our means. If a new board can increase the commercial activity around the club, and thus the income, then the playing budget would benefit but let's be honest here the club isn't sitting on an untapped goldmine here. Any increase is going to be through hard work, imagination and probably a bit of luck. The people who already invest in the club every week are not a bottomless pit of money and the surrounding area is hardly awash with huge successful businesses.
We have to be realistic as well as being ambitious.
The club has wasted a lot of it's financial resource over the last few seasons. Removing dud managers and terminating dud players contracts early doesn't come without a financial cost. If we were a little bit more successful with our recruitment then we'd start seeing more value out of the money we do have rather than squandering it on trying to repair the damage of previous failures.
Football is always very short term. A "results driven business" we are always told, and that is partly true, but there has to be a time when you look at the longer term picture too and understand that a club of our size is going to take some time to recover from the mismanagement of the past. Hopefully Rae & Farrell start making incremental improvements to the squad in the same way Gus did when he inherited a similar situation, and we start seeing results and performances gradually improve.

Think he means Callum Ball!!

Wasn't overly impressed with the appointment of Alex Rae but I think that is more a reflection of how dissullusioned I have become with the buddies in the last few years as the match day experience at St Mirren Park has been brutal. Only missed 3 home games last season all of which were victories so don't think I have seen a home league win for 18 months or more now. :-(
With low expectations then maybe Rae and Farrell will come good and bring some decent football and enjoyable match day experience to St Mirren Park. They strike me as very much in the Gus and Andy mould so hopefully they can lead us back to the top flight.
Interesting times whatever happens.
This thread has became a bit heated at times in the last few days. Hopefully everyone can make up and look forward to a better 2016 than 2015 was. ;-)
COYS!

Good luck to Alex. I was annoyed initially but I hope he does well and makes us win again. Speaking to a mate from media tonight who knows him and he suggested there are many things needing fixed urgently but that Alex can follow well. Here's hoping

Not overly impressed, but he's the man in the hot seat now, so he deserves our support unless he proves to be useless. Good luck, Alex. You'll need it.

Maybe the club just know that you are a clueless chubby-cocked arsehole and rightly chose to ignore your ramblings. Again.

Ding dong the bell (end) had rang/spoke..
