Gus McP to take over. Have to question if this was the plan all along. Massive back step if so.
Sad times.

People don't realise that Oran Kearney was NOT Gordon Scott's pick for the Saints job
The thought of bringing in someone with no experience or knowledge of Scottish Football was seen as too risky by our chairman who opted for a more experienced manager who had made a total arse of his previous job.
Tony Fitzpatrick wanted Oran to replace JR and pushed strongly for him to get the job once again when Stubbs left.
30 days until our first competitive match and we have news like this coming out of the club.
Say what you want about the previous board, at least our former Chairman actually knew how to do his job unlike this imposter.His decision making and ability/willingness to unite the club and fans are at very least, questionable.
He's not the man for the job in my opinion. But at present, there is not a realistic replacement or willing candidate (to my knowledge). Therefore, lets home his next couple of decisions are good ones...... Because we really need to get it right this time.

Ooooft!! Tough start to the season.
Away to Hibs
Home to Aberdeen
Home to Sevco
Tougher start to close season, given we have half a squad, potentially no manager......

Brings us back to last season when Robbie Neilson removed himself from the application process citing these reasons. It does make you wonder what their ambition/budget comparisons are really like.
Your final paragraph is very true, and it’s a major concern we keep putting ourselves through.
In short, I really don't have faith in GS and his ability to lead the club. That is me putting it nicely. I have listed the reasons for this, publicly on Twitter. Was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (bad fortunes), however, the fact we find ourselves in these potions more than once (several bad decisions, costly ones at that), raise real questions. You think Particks billionaire suitors can be swayed towards Paisley.......?

Oh if he goes and it's for the reasons that are now being speculated (ie. budgetary issues and NOT homesickness) , the board have to live with the fact that there is going to be a groundswell of public opinion that's about to turn on them in a big way for letting him up sticks and leave over their lack of funds to back up anything approaching the overabundance of ambition.
If the reasons for him going ARE that, I'll be f**king raging.
This!
Never mind OK leaving (potentially), the ambition of the club on the budget we have is laughable. Champagne lifestyle/cider budget an' all that jazz.
Finishing 10th, 9th would be progress and we re-evaluate.
However, this is just another clusterf**k close season. Should have seen it coming; No assistant, no new players...... Only 5 weeks to go. The St Mirren way......

Only Celtic and Sevco must be booted out.
We have never had regular problems from any other support in Scotland.
The 40 Diddy Clubs would quickly sort out their own fans if they disgraced them.
Celtic and Sevco thrive and condone their scum fans.
Genuine answer.
The point I have highlighted in your posts is something I actually agree with. They don't do enough to eradicate the issue as I think they fear the backlash from their fans if they did. I agree with you here.
Genuine agreement...... lol

Indeed, the focus on sectarianism removes plenty of other clubs from what is unacceptable behaviour.
The fact the OF have more support only makes them the worst offenders.
As you say, no easy answers....................near impossible in reality.
I agree. In this day an age, any form of discrimination, bigotry etc is beggars belief.
There isn't an easy answer to eradicate, as @Lord Pityme said in the prior page, I agree we should ensure we do our best to safeguard our own.
That makes sense.

Your 100% correct. America and Isreal if believed have had a list of regeme changes in the middle east Iran is the last one. America went into the Vietnam war by faking an attack on it's own battle ship.
Whilst I have no evidence on the most recent ships etc, USA have a history of 'false flags'. These are confirmed in disclosed/public documents and through basic research. As does the UK to be fair. Mind the weapons of mass destruction and all the evidence we have.....
Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised by this again. There is plenty of political and financial benefits to be gained from another war, sad times.

No ifs about it.
Just do it.
Problem solved.
Sectarian cnuts gone and you crying.
Whilst R & C are the worst offenders of Sectarianism, they aren't the only guilty ones. Just need to look at Edinburgh, Ayrshire and sections of the Lanarkshire teams, there are elements of sectarianism.... Whilst not as rife, it exists there too. Do we stop them attending? Genuine question.
Sectarianism is not the only issue blighting our game.
There have been other clubs who have been involved in Shady behavior, such as Ayr (smoke bombs) at our ground, Morton tearing up seats.
Airdrie have had issues with Racism in the past.
The list of issues could go on.
My question is, how/where do we draw a line in this? How do we decide which is worst, who can attend and can't? Are we in risk of sectarianism ourselves by banning certain fans and not others based on the 'perceived' beliefs (we can't factually prove any clubs fans hold any particular belief as a whole)?
Ps I would LOVE to eradicate the issue, it f**ks me off no end. However, life and these type of issues aren't as (excuse the pun) 'black and white' as that.

Really sad news, true saints fan and saddened to hear this. Thoughts with her family and friends.
RIP

I imagine we will come in for a pile of laughing and finger pointing for that.
The lunatics have taken over the strip committee.
When we have been relegated in the past, it is usually accompanied by a shite strip. This absolutely REEKS of a Relegation strip... unfortunately.
I get where you are going with this.... 2014/5's kit was a shiter, however, I think these actually (going by twitter and social media mainly) a lot of satisfaction for these kits.
Therefore, I plump for it looking like a 10th Place kit, so we are gonnae be ok!
Got to say, the season past's away kit was a cracker and sad to see it go. Red away kits are a favorite of mine (particularly some of the AC milan style ones).

If thats the case then how in feck does Dens Park qualify..?
and why do we host UEFA internationals? Scott said his influence in the stadium design insured we would be UEFA compliant..!
I agree with the bits highlighted above and have been asking this question too. Just seems a bit odd.

Great read! Nice to read the sporting history of oor wee toon.
I did spot this however and think, if they were still in existence there would be one or two saints fans from BAWA swapping allegiances....
Paisley Olympic FC; 'Paisley Olympic FC were made up exclusively of academics'

I see Dive has put a few tweets out stating, in summary;
- Manager is looking to replace JN with a new assistant/coach
- The club are looking to get Popesku (sorry re spelling) back on loan as well as some of last seasons loanee's, not sure exactly who (one rumor is McAlister)
- He has identified other targets and potential targets
- Muzek and Mckenzie are in talks with the club
- He wants a squad of 21 to remain comeptitive and currently we have 13
My opinion would be that the only Loanee's I'd like is Pop and maybe McAlister at a push. I didn't think Lyons quite hit the heights I'd hoped, the Duck didn't do enough and think that we need to fill the strikers role as a priority.

I believe there are threads regarding signings. This one concerns the strip.
Technically, my response was to validate the point that the players 'wearing the strips' are more important than the strips themselves.......
However, sorry this upset you.

Have we signed anyone to wear the kit?
And here lays my main focus too.
Come on saints, lets be having some signings....

Here is a wee thought.....
The kit seems to have a similarity to the Juve kit this season.
A lot of teams such as Barca, Liverpool, man u etc have all had pink/purple change kits.
Could it be that the club have tailored the kit designs in line with these tops clubs in a bid to capture the target market (a younger generation) who may be more likely to purchase, rather than those above 30 who are less likely to buy kits due to, well, age and other priorities?
Maybe giving the board too much credit but this could be a clever marketing strategy........

Folk need to calm doon Hahahaha 🙄😂
I agree, and as much as I like the kits, I also don't care too much as long as they are black and white home tops (stripes) and the team is decent.
The bigger focus should be who we have wearing them
-
The home kit looks better with black shorts.
-
New kits a belter (both IMO).

So, to be clear, if by miracle we qualified for Europe, we could play, just in another venue?

That was my question. Anyway why have a billionaire ploughing cash into us, with realistic ambitions when we have the messiah, GS.
