Ilkay Durmus.....thats a new one.........im off to google the lad, off to google indeed
This is the lad here...this will tell you all you need to know
-
Feel for Cody after this news. The lad really has done well and it would appear that now was his time, real kick in the hum haws for the lad.
But not to worry, as a top league outfit we will have a nice big squad that has been well drilled over the pre-season, no way that with only three full days between now and the season kicking off we would be in any way short would we?

And players play for money not their favourite Club.
No Shull, I will not allow your depressing outlook on life to be bolstered by pishy fact grabbing without a modicum of intellect. You are one of those fun hoovers, devoid of joy and ambition.
Purchasing a player of quality, whom we can afford at a time when we need him is NOT akin to the nonsense that nearly saw us go out of business in the early 1990's. I recall those days all too well. What should we use our income for? paying off managers every year or occasionally should we invest in the team when an opportunity like this presents itself.
Teams around us occasionally "throw the dice" and teams around us occasionally break into the top six. Saint Johnstone, Motherwell and Kilmarnock all regularly out perform us whilst we are always left looking on. It is time that we redoubled our efforts and tried to match those who leave us behind every year. None of those three clubs are bigger than us but they DO deliver better league positions year on year.....this depressing fact shows that our club is NOT doing as well as it should be.
With money coming in from players like Kenny McLean and John McGinn would it be reasonable to spend SOME of that cash on a quality player (who can always be sold on) or should we stay in the bargain basement having never tried?
Selling players for profit (like the two above) is essential but if we cannot re-invest something in the team then what is the point?
Big Mihai would in all likliehood generate a profit as players of his quality don't tend to stay in Scottish football long before an overly rich English club comes a calling!

Dinamo dropped their asking price. Mihai's loan contract at St Mirren expired yesterday, so technically he HAS to return to Romania until something can be worked out. I wouldn't rule this one out just yet.
Thank you for that glimmer of hope.
I see the "get real" brigade out in force with the usual negative nonsense that they seem to bathe themselves in. Fun hoovers who suck the joy from anything/everything.
The fact is, the club does (for once) have a bit of money. The club has unearthed a player of real talent and he actually WANTS to play for us. So we CAN afford the asking price. What the negative band seem to overlook is that the player is worth every penny. If he is worth every penny to us just now he will be worth every penny in 2 years when we can look to sell him on. Of course that is discounting the fact that top league survival is all the easier with a good player like him in the centre of your defence. If we never try then Tony's top four talk is just that, mad ranting's indeed.
If we are never going to "roll the dice" and make that attempt at improving our lot then what is the point?

Right,
I have just made a faux pas over on another thread. I was under the impression that Mr Popescu had signed.
Have we let him go?
Was the change in manager detrimental to the deal?
Am I dreaming?
As sure as my skidmarks are regular, he was a first class player........why oh why oh why?

I think the jury is very much out on our prospects:
Reasons to be cheerful:
We have manager who has strong affinity with the club, some proven management ability and deep knowledge of Scottish football.
Our squad should have a bit of a feel good factor having survived and done well in the last 10 games or so of the season.
Some players look like they have stepped up to Premiership level. Mullen, Cooke, Flynn come to mind. And Magennis should be back to full effectiveness. Mackenzie too, if he can stay fit.
BUT. our manager is unproven at this level and there is a heck of a lot of work to be done to supplement the squad before season starts. We have thrown the dice in all of the last three transfer windows. It worked for Jack. It failed for Stubbs (admittedly his judgement was poor). It worked for Oran, just. It feels like we are about to throw the dice again to recruit another 6 or 7 players to make up the squad-perhaps with another throw in January.
All in all, I am not optimistic for the coming season. I think we have one dice throw left to secure a chance at stability in this league. 50/50 I’d say of surviving/getting relegated.
Good post forum friend.
I was nodding away as I read it (whilst avoiding the childish nonsense that was going on in other posts around it) and we agree on everything until that last line. That last line that I have conveniently highlighted in BOLD for the convenience of you and others.
Being a fan of the Saint Mirren professional football club pte ltd co first team playing squad for me requires some optimism, admittedly at times blind optimism but optimism nonetheless.
If one considers where we were at this time last year I would say our squad is ahead in terms of playing staff. We have a damn good goal keep and a back up for said goal keep. With Mr Popescu having signed on we are starting the season with quality at the back and with the young Mr Baird and the hero that is Gary Mack committed to our cause the centre half positions are for once not giving cause for concern (of course we have thingmie Heaton as well, he can clean Popescu's boots or something).
Paul McGinn appears to have "come of age" and I am sure he has a good season ahead. Young Kyle Magennis will be like a new signing such was his absence(s) last term, Danny Mullen has established himself as a hard working goal scorer fit to don the stripes (a cult hero in the making), Cody Cooke has went from lump of wood to "get Cody oan", Ryan Flynn has endeared himself to the West bank with some lovely displays, Cammy MacPherson and Ethan Erhahon are a year older and a year more experienced and are poised to saunter into the team with a swagger, Stephen McGinn has some recovery ahead but all in all we have the backbone of an exciting squad.
What we don't have is Cole Kpekewa in the centre of defence illustrating that you do not need to be able to kick a football, head a football, position oneself properly and in essence be able to play football in order to bag a 2 year contract, we don't have Jeff King, Matty WiIllock, Hayden Coulson (to be fair he was half decent) and the others whose names now escape me.
All in all, I am optimistic for the coming season. I agree we have to throw the dice to secure a successful season, survival no longer the issue, the challenge is building around this core of players and letting them flourish.
Flourish boys, flourish indeed.

What the f**k is wrong with you guys (you know who you are) that you have to drag every thread into the mire with your petty bickering. Nobody gives a f**k so do us all a favour and take it elsewhere.
This thread was about Goody. The amount of posts that have f**k all to do with his appointment are just depressingly familiar.Well said Sir, well said indeed.
Now back to business......
Happy Monday Mr Goodwin, get that breakfast down you and get onto that operator and start getting put through to all those marvellous players you are about to sign.
I want marquee, I want young starlet of tomorrow and I want experienced artisan.
Get them signed, get them signed indeed.

It did, but was it Oran Kearney being quoted, or 'a source' speculating? Yir bawz are oot on that one.
i know both Oran and the club did nothing to kill that rumour effectively until Oran said as quoted above he wanted to stay here and finish the job. It ran for weeks.
I am not entering into any discussion with you, the reason being that the potato I plan to have as a mid morning snack would likely provide more intellectual conversation.
The only "fact" is the existence of the Coleraine story for 6 weeks......everything else is speculative dribble.....hence my preference to converse with a potato over you!
I wonder if the Alloa Chairman has received the phone call yet?

I gave a list of facts, you provide.... guess what... thats right speculation!
Wooosh
The story that Oran Keanrey would return to Coleraine did indeed appear 6 weeks ago in the press, having read it I can confirm that to be a fact.
Your rant was one sided speculative nonsense.
Now just to be absolutely clear, I find your last response to me to be rather stupid, stupid indeed.

I think a few fellow posters need to question the very obvious club leaked smears that
A: Kearney has orchestrated all of this.
B. That he regularly misses training and just leaves his job for others to do
C. And the wholly laughable smear that Oran wanted to fly to Ireland and back everyday ffs! How could he afford up to £1500 pw or £6k a month put of his wages? C'mon.... its ballocks!
the club f**ked up royally by not inserting a clause into his contract compelling him to move by a specified date or risk being in breach of contract and liable to summary dismissal i.e. No compo.
the very fact that the club are having to meet his settlement demands tells you no such clause was inserted, indeed the laughable smear that he wanted to fly here and there everyday becomes even more of a joke when you consider as that in itself wold be a material change in any agreement, and the club could simply refuse, and if Kearney started to do it, again he'd be looking at summary dismissal and... you guessed it NO Compo.
add to this complete clusterf**k that neither chairman or CEO are prepared to front this out to fans and media, but choose to be in other parts of the world leaving it to Mr Wardrobe to try to spin things on their behalf.
please just think about these scandalous allegations, look at the man they are levelling these against, and the complete lack of any evidence to back any of them up, and the fact NO senior official at the club is making them. Well least not through official channels.
the club is poisoned, the chairman has chosen to rule it in a way that is anti-fan despite the claims made. What manager worth his salt will walk into the clusterf**k at Greenhill road? I see Owen Coyle has joined the list being touted as potential successors. Funny that as his family live even further away than Kearney's, and he didnt move them back up here when he was at Ross County.
i do expect there may be a possible resignation or two from people at the club now at their wits end. And despite the hype can anyone see Gus giving up that comfy billet he's found in exchange for being sacked before October?
A lot of words, pure speculation of course, repetitive one-sided speculation
Your rant does nothing to address the only real fact that we can be sure of. Six weeks ago (yes 6) speculation appeared in the press regarding our then manager returning to Coleraine. As out of the blue as it was the speculation did not disappear. Low and behold, with the job still open, Mr Kearney goes and falls out with our Mr Scott.
Now I do not know what happened but that 6 week old story has left me bloody suspicious, bloody suspicious indeed.

Oran returning to his old club has been reported for weeks started by Irish League Insider. Other sources on Twitter Gary Peebles also reported Oran going back to his former club some 6 weeks ago due to family reasons. So this has been floating around for ages.
It has and this would appear to make the sudden fall out with Mr Gordon Scott somewhat suspicious. Could it perhaps be alledged that Mr Kearney has been "tapped up" and any subsequent breakdown in relations was manufactured?
Suspicious goings on, suspicious goings on indeed.

With the stv and sun now reporting lawyers involved in thrashing out a deal between club and soon to be ex manager it's all very disappointing. No one comes out of this smelling of rose's.
It's hard being a buddie sometimes.That it is forum friend, that it is indeed,
With last season finishing on such a spectacular high and with Mr Kearney at the helm I was guilty of allowing myself some optimism with regard to the forthcoming season.
Well it now appears everything has once again been Royally f**ked up. As the days trickle by and better run clubs are working the transfer market we are falling out with yet another manager. As fans are being asked to fork out hard earned money for season tickets the best the club can offer is yet more internal strife.
Once again as things look to be taking an up turn our club turns everything to pish. Well done to all involved, well done indeed.

Even before we successfully navigated them this season i have always believed that its wrong for the team finishing second bottom of the Prem to be involved in the playoffs. It should imo be two up, two down. With championship winner automatically promoted and 2,3,4, and 5th involved in a home and away semi final, and a one game final at Hampden or if it makes more sense an alternative neutral venue.
that gives half the championship a shout at promotion, and half the premiership a big incentive to avoid two trap door slots.
thoughts now we are out of the smelly stuff?
Disagree
Now move along, move along indeed
