'Thinks' .............................. Lunatics and Asylum.
Lennon and MacPherson were incompetents and both of them deserved to be relieved of their duties at SMP.
The members of our current Board, several of whom courageously stepped forward in St Mirren's hour of need (effectively our hour of potential obliteration), and saved us from extinction by the asset stripper Reg Brearley should forever deserve our thanks. Thank you !!!
But since then this Board's record in appointing team managers has been unforgivably bad. Perhaps the short-term success we witnessed under Tom Hendrie 15 years ago would could be regarded as the sole exception but even Tom's time in charge imploded in the end. Even the amazing league cup success in 2013 under DL turned out to be a false dawn, nothing but a flash in the pan.
Ultimately this Board's strategy in selecting replacement managers has been flawed and the loyal St Mirren fans have suffered the consequences of their penny-pinching short-sightedness. Now that Ian Murray has (honourably) quit his post the BoD must get their act together and appoint the right person in the hot seat regardless of the short-term cost. Too much consideration of "well let's take the easy / cheap option as we will be selling up soon" has gone into the appointment of managers in the past. The cheapest option has been the preferred option every time.
So, moving forward, NOT ALEX MILLAR !!!!
The BoD have to wake up and think adventurously. They have to spend whatever is necessary to bring in the right person otherwise our spiral down the league structure will continue.
NOT THE CHEAPEST OPTION !!!

I admire your ability to move from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm Shull.
Some might even call that a success

Not so sure.
We finished 11th out of 12 with Danny Lennon and Ian Jenkins, Lennon got rid of Jenkins and lasted 3 more years and was pretty successful.
As above, if it were that simple why would they need an assistant at all?

the pipe fitting business in boom time then?

First three points of the season.

Hopefully the damage is so bad they will need to pull the whole place down .

On October the 3rd with his Alloa Team.
I really hope he gets a wonderful welcome, that he thoroughly deserves.
We never got the chance to say cheerio and thanks for this ............

Magnificent applause and the singing of his name before the Match would be perfect.
He is most certainly a St Mirren Legend who has absolute dignity and oozes class.
THERE'S ONLY ONE DANNY LENNON !!!!

Would Assad being over thrown not have just left a vacuum similar to saddam hussain in Iraq? was that not the main reason for a more passive approach to Syria?

This is an interesting article on the demise of British industry.

Welcome to St Mirren Football Club.

You're a customer. You're perfectly entitled to decide not to spend any more money giving your custom to St Mirren. No doubt others will want to castigate you and claim you are in some way inferior to them, but you are quite within your rights to do what you want. The people I feel sorry for are the season ticket holders who paid money in good faith expecting a side that might win some football matches, only to be delivered the worst performing St Mirren side since the days of John Coughlin - it might actually be worse, I'm not about to check.

Not to mention scudding a very decent Slavia Prague side at Love Street as well.

My thought is simple. He simply doesn't have the engine or legs for starting up front on his lonesome. Impact player from the bench for me, sadly.

apart from thinking st mirren are similar to hibs in club size, i'm agreed on this.

hahahah

Hibernian are not a far bigger club than St Mirren, he will be getting a bit more money but nothing spectacular and there is every chance we will be in top flight before them.
Jim Goodwin happily knocked back a move there to stay at St Mirren when they were in the top league remember.
What has John McGinn done differently from others?
1. Petty sniping at the club on twitter, a public forum, seemingly because his less talented younger brother wasn't given a first team place.
2. Openly supporting Celtic, again on twitter, while employed as a St Mirren player
3. Is developed by our club and through our youth system for 13 years then leaves to play for our biggest rivals in the league this season.
4. Threatens legal action against the club to drive down the development fee St Mirren are due.
5. Issues an apology for helping relegate us.
None of this is crime of the century stuff but I'll certainly be amused if we witness yet another Hibs implosion this season, and having watched them ship 6 goals the other week we may well be treated to one!

Summer is my favourite day of the year.

i can't imagined this would have been a deal breaker on the deal and to allow our our club sign to be removed at our home ground and be replaced by another club is something most clubs would probably not have allowed. I think this is more an indication on the lack of ideas to generate out of football income the club is so they will been over and take ideas like this. An A board or trailer or something like that could have been used, but the symbolism of thew club sign being taken down just looks a bit humiliating. Might as well swap over the crests as well.

I've no problem with Celtic using the stadium and us making commercial gain out of it. None at all.
What I DO have a problem with is the Celtic Crest being placed on our walls at the expense of a St.Mirren crest.
This is beyond the value of any commercial deal in my opinion. Very poor decision.
I am sure signage outside the shop could have easily alerted Celtic fans that their merchandise was for sale in the shop.

the glory days when there would be almost 10,000 in the ground with just over 6 declared:)
