I was under the impression we had never been in the third tier of Scottish football 🤨
Shankland scores 0 in 17 that season, for what reason would we have wanted to keep him? Rory Loy came in and scored 5 in 13, what an awful decision that was to replace Shankland with Loy!
You claim he sold four players - so that was solely his decision and not the board? There was nothing we could do to convince the likes of Mallan and Morgan to stay. In fact, selling Morgan and getting him back on loan was outstanding business considering he’d be free come summer.
Development of other players isn’t solely down to the manager either - it depends what’s coming through the youth system at the time. The only guys who’ve come through since Magennis and McAllister are Erhahon and McPherson, who were obviously not near ready at that point. That isn’t the fault of a manager.
Who did he leave behind? A certain Ross Stewart who unlike our current strikers, is scoring goals at Ross County.
And get over this pish about “wanting to leave”, management can be a short lived career. Look at Alan Archibald, one year he’s got Partick to the Top 6, one season later they go down and nobody wants to hire him now. He declined Premier Dundee to stay with us, he declined English Championship Barnsley to stay with us. If you seriously expect any manager to not even talk to these clubs, then you are deluded. Should we say the same about Mallan, Morgan, McAllister, McLean, J.McGinn etc? Should we have denied Kyle McAllister’s return because he chose to move to Derby instead of giving us 20 years service? It’s football ffs, and it’s a credit to the job Jack did with us that other teams actually wanted our manager - when does that ever happen with us? It’s usually is getting rid of them.

You could count on Jackie to do his job - loved the club.

Jackie Copland was my hero when i was wee.  I meet him in the St Mirren shop in the piazza once and just about sh*t myself.  He just seemed immense !!!

If he could cut it in the top flight, he would be in the top flight

He isn’t, end of.

Fans believe it to be a sport (despite the structural inequality due to the bigoted incomes and despite the SFA/SPFL refusing to address or even admit that there is bigotry broadcast on live tv!) so fans don't want to see or hear bigotry.  
For St Mirren fans it’s not a business.
it’s an aspect of our lives and culture.  If it was merely a business, why would even entertain the idea of Buying the Buds?
it’s more than business.

That's how we played in Bushes cubs and we won everything !!! 

Brilliant, the daft "bun" on an England players heid gets in the way of her taking a throw in and she picks it up. 

Says who?
Who exactly is making these decisions?
Why do they keep changing their minds and attacking those who don't instantly obey their new rule?
Why is "people of colour" OK but "coloured" is worthy of the sack and public humiliation?
I don't think it is unreasonable to ask these questions.
I am also confused at why there is a need to even refer to the colour of someone's skin in normal day to day conversation.

They are cocks and always will be,  even if they win the play offs. 
That is all.

Not gonna lie probably prefer the great unwashed down the road to that lot, the past few seasons being down there with them when they thought they where billy big baws but yet made a rip roaring hunt of it season after season! 
Hope we give them a doing!
 
inty um!!

I like ululation from the Latin ululare - to howl. That's onomatopoeia (Greek origin).  A lot of howling going on at the moment.
Anyhow, back on subject. I was duped and gave the club the benefit of the doubt, that they were certain what had gone on. Two separate incidents were put together to confabulate (Latin) something which didn't happen. GLS look yourself in the mirror, man up and issue an apology to ALL Saints fans.

Oh dear. Made the national news ... It sounds as if the incident may have indeed taken place. The club already know who the perpetrators are from the CCTV. They are fishing for corroborating evidence and looking for others to shop the 'guilty' in.  This is to support a lifetime ban from the SDA. 
If not, then SMFC have taken an almighty gamble and made a total arse of themselves. The consequences with respect to the credibility of the club are enormous.

Why does the club not just deal with it in house rather than dragging it through the media.ive been to a few away games this season and never saw any trouble from us. only saw a st Mirren fan getting strechered away. Found out later she was hit by a bottle from opposing fans. And no trouble errupted from that incident.

I don't really get the bitterness TBH.
Like (almost) every member of this forum you have chosen to support the club that you love rather than opt to follow one that attracts glory-hunters. I doff my cap to you. But you must know by now that clubs like St Mirren are frequently shat upon by bigger clubs, just like we have done in the past to the likes of Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton, etc. Players will always chase the £££'s, loyalty is thin on the ground. Human nature unfortunately. It's just what bigger clubs do to smaller clubs and there's nothing we do to change that.
