The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread

There's no point sacking him this week, would just mean a new manager or interim managers first game would be at parkhead. I would be surprised if he makes the Motherwell game. -
The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread
foxbar_bud replied to Flareybob's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
Naively, i thought he would have been away by now after last night (and the previous 3/4 months) Ill be going on Saturday, but i have a feeling the atmosphere will be absolutely toxic. -
I was told he was offered a position and knocked it back, which if true looks like a master stroke by the big man

Inverness Caledonian Thistle V St Mirren Tues 2Nd Dec 2014
foxbar_bud replied to skodasaint's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
I genuinely feel sorry for the 73 saints fans that have travelled any distance to be let down again. -
He doesnt sound bitter at all
-
I actually felt sorry for him last night, he just looked and sounded so uncomfortable and out his depth. When he stated that he is going to london in next few weeks to speak to a centre half, just 20/30minutes after Stewart Gilmour had said as it stands its unlikely there is money for more players made him look like a bit of a joke figure. If something doesnt give soon the whole situation between manager, BoD and fans will become extremely sour. I cant make it tonight, but i think it will be even more brutal.

Not long back in, the Q and A bit with Tommy was an absolute car crash. iMO of course, nonsensical answers, basically our whole season was based on Thommo being fit. I'll read what else has been written before adding anything else.

Is that not the fans council agm? Official club agm is tomorrow night

The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread
foxbar_bud replied to Flareybob's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
to echo others, we usually buy our tickets before hand to guarantee our ST seats, so thats 3 down as well. Whilst im not sure only 100 tickets have been sold, the more i speak to other ST holders and what can be seen on here, the attendance on saturday has the real potential to be a disaster. Out of curiosity, does anyone know the lowest crowd at the new stadium? -
The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread

look certain to suffer from an unofficial boycott, with fewer than 100 home fans said to have so far confirmed their attendance. This would certainly send a message if true, -
And you were absolutely desperate for the manager who won the major title and match the 25 year record to be punted. So, if they achievements can be written off in Lennons case how long can the BoD live off them??

I know it's tongue in cheek but the BoD need to be the ones to fix their f**k up. Not be bailed out by fans.

The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread

I would be amazed if TC resigned, unfortunately the BoD are going to need to find a back bone for this one -
The moment the board appointed TC without interviewing any other candidates they showed how little they care anymore. I have no issue whatsoever about not attending next week, wouldn't tell others not to, but it's not for me.

The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread
foxbar_bud replied to Flareybob's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
Ive not missed a home game since the opener in 2000/01 against Killie, in that time ive seen worse squads than this one, (Pretty much all of Coughlans reign) and not once under DL or GM would i have considered not going to a home game but i wont be paying to watch us v inverness. My reasons are simple, The board have took the lazy, piss poor option to appoint Craig as manager with no thoughts to the fans. TC was always going to be a shite appointment, hes been a failure every time hes tried to be a manager and he was going to be a failure for us. The board should have advertised and interviewed for the position like 99% of clubs do. I have no idea why they appointed Craig, with Coughlan, we were a first div club and had to pay off a manager with a meaty contract so there was an acceptable cost based reason for appointing Coughlan. They have also (incredibly) gave Goodwin and Teale, 2 year playing/coaching contracts, Gary Teale is, IMO, finished and his injury record last year is another reason why it was ridiculous to give him a 2 year deal. Goodwin i can see why they gave him a 2 year deal, i dont agree with it but i can see the point. We didnt have the cost reason for appointing Craig this time, we could have let him go with Danny and started afresh which makes me believe it was nothing more than laziness from the board. And thats before i talk about his signings........ -
The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread
foxbar_bud replied to Flareybob's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
Got quite a bit of abuse at end of game, again looks lost as to what he can do to change things. Signings are a joke, good young players from last year have went backwards, and we are over reliant on 2 or 3 good players. -
Fair enough thats your view, I think you are being absolutly delusional, Goodwin gets barged in the back, agreed, but it hardly made him break stride, Goodwin then fires an elbow (totally unnaturally) at the face of the DU player You have your view and I have mine, Im sick of Goodwin pulling stunts like this, hes nearly 33years old for f**ks sake. You think hes hard done by.....
-
Your right no one would give it much attention if it wasn't goodwin, if it was cheesy I would give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's not someone doing it for the first time, it's Goodwin, again. He hasnt earned the benefit of the doubt. What's this, the 5th or 6th time?

Dundee United V St Mirren Spfl Premiership 1/11/14
foxbar_bud replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Would really question anyone defending goodwin for this. As usual there was absolutly no need, throwing an elbow in the face of a young boy is something we would all be going mad it if they did it to one of our players. Ive just got round to watching the highlights, the defending is absolutly comical. And all Craig can say is the strikers arent scoring, we are embarrassing at the back, something that has been glaringly obvious for all to see for a while now. -

Not guilty TC, I never mentioned us being a team of boys or not... -
The Tommy Craig Must Go Thread
foxbar_bud replied to Flareybob's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
But he did meet his 'primary target' in all 4 seasons with 2 seasons we finished in a respectable 8th. If top 6 is a 'bonus' then i would love to hear the boards reasons for getting rid of Danny and what they expect of Tommy Craig. Not a dig at you TC as i would agree that staying up is the objective, but DL managed that in all 4 seasons, twice comfortably -
St Mirren V Ross County Spfl Premiership 25/10/14
foxbar_bud replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
So does Tommy Craig get to share the credit for the highlights in DLs reign? But in terms of signings and wasting the budget last season...that was all Danny? -
I would be amazed if they refill his post, hes achieved absolutly zero, and all at what i would imagine would have been a 6 figure salary
