Bud the Baker Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Love how the poll only topic doesn't have Steven Thompson as an option, but does have Houston Dynamo boss Owen Coyle... Only 6 miles for Owen to move! I'll get my coat................... Edited December 9, 2014 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Goodwin removed from coach and is now just a player, good news. We need Goody fully focused on playing and cutting out any of his crazy onfield antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 In my humble opinion, I suspect it may be Teale - cheaper option and has, hopefully, contacts down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddies1877 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I did say if we were in the bottom 2 at Christmas he would be sacked. The weekends results virtually confirmed we would be - barring us winning at Parkhead - so not surprised. I would like to see Teale and Longwell succeed in their interim posts and get the job full time. They both worked together successfully with our 20's, I think they could do it with the first team. makes sense two very inexperienced mangers to save us you think with good logic Edited December 9, 2014 by buddies1877 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 makes sense two very inexperienced mangers to save us you think with good logic Why do we need an experienced manager to save us? The most experienced manager in the bottom 6 last year was Butcher. Yeah, exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Sky Sports News are at Ralston, where Gary Teale has given a statement to the media throng, which will no doubt be screened again. Confirms that he is "over the moon", and wishes to get into management at some stage. Thanked Tommy for giving him the chance, but failed to confirm if he is "sick as a parrot" for Tommy.

Yeah, exactly. yeah exactly makes sense to give someone with zero manger experience than it does with someone who's been there done it..You've pointed out butcher we could go all day pointing out previous mangers. U are a muppet if it was your way we'd of went on till January with Craig in charge he should of been removed a month or two ago as has been proven now.

Plenty of managers have succeeded without prior managerial experience. Gus McPherson, Pep Guardiola, Garry Monk, Alex Neil. I could go on. Why do we need an experienced manager? I said Craig should be sacked if we were in the bottom two on Christmas, what you going on about January? Stay classy with the name calling though!

beyond our ken Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Gary Teale will be the manager until he either makes such a success of it he is lured elsewhere or he fails so badly that he is dumped. No-one else will get near until such times as one of these scenrios unfolds he has my full backing and i have a sneaking feeling he might just have what it takes. Only problem is, if he does-why dis it not show when he was coach? Anyway i wont ask any dificult questions for as long as he remains unbeaten as saints manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case then he was always free to find a new club at that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay classy with the name calling though! As I said I could go on all night naming managers who failed. Tommy as example who has never succeeded it's pointless you naming managers who have succeeded. Sorry Christmas is about 5 days off from January huge difference was way off dunno why I'm mentioning January. Any muppet could of told you a month ago we'd of been in the bottom by Christmas. It's still not Christmas yet btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabinho Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Kenny Sheils for me, very focussed on bringing youths through which is the way we have to go, rather than taking numerous loanees from England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect to both of our most recent managers, I think if I had to listen to Kenny Shiels interviews after listening to Tommy Craig and Danny Lennon's.... I might just give up on fitba' and take up bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Whoever is taken on as manager of St Mirren (or any other club) is always a chance appointment. Unless with the benefit of hindsight, who would have thought that Alex Ferguson, in his East Stirlingshire days, would have become the most successful manager ever (albeit he was sacked by St Mirren). Ricky Macfarlane, Jim Clunie, Tom Hendrie and Gus McPherson also had relative success at Paisley - as did Danny Lennon! As fans we have our opinions but not the responsibility for our choice. We can only hope that SG and the Board have better luck with their next appointment, but they cannot be blamed too much for TC's appointment as he is generally recognized as one of the best Scottish coaches over the past decade or so. Personally I regret that Tommy was not able to successfully make the step-up to manager. I do not know him personally, but he came across to me as a decent man who deserves our thanks for all that he contributed as a coach in his time at St Mirren. I seem to remember that it was only when he teamed up with DL that St Mirren's results and performances picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
