Magic Monkey Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Interesting about the coaching badge. I'd like to think he'd go the assistant coach to manager route that Gus did. On the flip side, i'd hate for him to tarnish the god-like reputation he currently has. Given that most of our managers are hated by at least 50% of our fans, it might be best if he doesn't bother...

JM1 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I think the coaching badge is more of a back-up really - if the TV career doesn't work out, then he can always fall back on coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Think he,s got a nice wee media career ahead of him , and a wee coaching qualification along with a long and varied footballing career puts him in a good place to get a few offers when the times right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzpatrick wasn't really hated by the fans and is still a legend. Steve Thompson is more articulate and thoughtfull no reason he would not be a success.

Isabella Duke Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Steven Thompson will be St. Mirren manager within the next 12 months. Personally, I'd give him the job now. Would save us from a few months of Lennon shite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would save us from a few months of Lennon shite! He'll be offered the job next season if we're doing shite and the board lose patience.Hopefully that won't happen though as we'll be challenging Ross County and Inverness for the league title.

Would save us from a few months of Lennon shite! : How you get your rocks off is your own business but much as I admire Steven I think all the talk of him stepping into Danny's shoes with zippo managerial experience is overly premature. It would be a hell of a risk. Player managers are usually rubbish. Let's have him as a great centre next season and see how we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ID does talk some pish , but when he alludes to the Hawk being the next boss then he's probably correct. DL must beware of the Alec Smith effect , if he doesn't get it right this season and we struggle I can see player(s) stepping into the management roles pdq !

BAWZ Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Player managers are usually rubbish.

RickMcD Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 This is true, but players hanging up their boots and taking on managerial roles has historically had a better success rate. Pep Guardiola springs immediately to mind. It really was only player/managers I meant. Steven's too good to lose as a player still so let's not get him sidetracked with a managerial role. Very few real top notch players seem to hack it in management. Sir Alex, Jock Stein, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger- all good managers but journeymen players. I'm sure some of the lads will now come up with a few top drawer ex players who made it but there aren't a whole lot. Another two good years out of Steven as a player would be fantastic.
