red&blackcampbell Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 To avoid players' noses being put out of joint here's the simple solution. Follow the NFL....Ian Murray / Dibbles Old Paperboy: Head coach.Stephen Thompson: Offensive Co-ordinator.Jim Goodwin: Defensive Co-ordinator.Gary Teale: Special teams co-ordinator.Everyone's a winner. ================== Let's go the whole way Bill Belichik managing Wilfork in defence Brady in midfield Edelman on the wing Gronkowski up front We avoid relegation and win Superbowl!

Fresian Coo Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 We should be in less of a rush to find a new manager. The board should leave Teale and Longwell in place until the end of the season. In practical terms there are probably now only three teams in the relegation scrap. To me that would be a very major problem for any new manager (as well as for T&L) hoping to keep us up. I fully expect the bottom two will go down. I also believe Motherwell have players of sufficient quality to move clear and as a rule they seem to make very few mistakes in their managerial appointments. Therefore, I would say rather than waste money now on a new manager and the players he would no doubt want to bring in during the January window, we should more or less write this season off and prepare for an assault on the Championship next season with a squad based on the younger players. St Mirren will be relegated whatever personnel are brought in this season, of that I have little doubt. If money is as limited as appears to be the case, better to save it until June 2015. Obviously, one difficulty with my proposed course of action would be keeping the support engaged during the remainder of this season.

Terrible way to look at things, thankfully you aren't on the board. We can stay up this season with the right manager in charge and a bit of clever wheeling and dealing in January.

We can stay up this season with the right manager in charge and a bit of clever wheeling and dealing in January. We could also win any two legged playoff, just finish above County and regroup. This season isn't over by a long way, although it doesn't look good with our defence and our only real goal threat coming from an injured 36 year old with an eye on the manager's gig. The annoying thing is that other clubs aren't kicking St Mirren's arse.... We are doing a great job in fcuking ourselves up from the inside.

Sonny Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 We have a core of some excellent players at the club who are not performing to their best (Kello, Ridgers, Naismith, Tess, Kelly, McGinn, Osborne, Goodwin, McLean and Thommo). The season is not even half over. A new guy getting these players up for it and some new faces in Jan could turn our season around. Our most immediate problem is now, not next season.

Griff Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Alex Miller is an interesting shout , one last go at management , one last chance to prove himself , and also an opportunity to say solid foundations for the our future , He has made a good living out of football , and will probably be aware of how skint Scottish clubs are so might be within our budget , He would also be able to get the team fired up , good shout IMO.

billyg Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 The Sun talking about Fullarton today and also says Alex Miller is interested. One thing's for sure, If Miller got the gig there are several players who wouldn't kick a ball for the club again. Ruthless guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyg Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 FFS! If he could bring in a Derek Hamilton and a Neil Cooper for a joint fee of under 8k like he did before I would welcome him with open arms , boring bastard or not. Premiership safety at all costs IMO ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Should have added The Sun claims he's unlikely to be considered as we're after a young, up and coming manager. Would imagine that rules Billy Stark out too - and hopefully Jim Jefferies, who has just left Dunfermline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnam Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Brown had a transfer window to get Dundee's fortunes a bit better whereas Smith was thrown in at the deep end. Stark - my memory isn't great but didn't he do ok at St Johnstone? For me Stark will always be a hero of mine as he scored in the 4-1 demolition of Dundee Utd in 1977 which was my first ever match at Love St. Mine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Eric Black Dougie Freedman and Jamie Fullerton amongst the 40 plus applicants. Black and Freedman would be decent appointments. Certainly far rather them than Butcher or Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 The list is getting bigger Roberts ,McGlynn and Jefferies all made available as no compensation required possibilities , no thanks Jobcentres for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I like Freedman's CV although it didn't work out for him at the end. Management experience at a high level and played all his career in Engerland with I assume plenty of contacts. Only left Bolton in October so not been out of things very long. And still only 40.

We could climb the table and/or win a playoff. I am suggesting in the balance of probability that we won’t do either from what I have witnessed this season. Bear in mind that it will take money that is not available to improve our situation. Alex Miller? Help ma Boab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 We need someone that can work within our budget and still be able wheel and deal and get the guys geed up for the fight . The one thing we do have in our favour is our Youth set up this it is supplying the players we will require but unfortunately its not giving us the money from sell ons , Could there be such a man?

magnus Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Miller is up there with Hay as being one of the worst St Mirren managers ever. He destroyed a great squad and had us playing shocking football. Fullerton was developed by St Mirren then shafted us under the guidance of Bill McMurdo by going to France for a year to make sure that a really cash strapped St Mirren didn't get a penny. These two shouldn't even be allowed admission to the ground far less manage us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Surely with technology these days we could get a holographic management team in the dressing room giving instructions using old footage and 4D techniques including the Fergie Hairdryer, Tea cup throwing and boot kicking scenarios. I'd go for a virtual management team of Sir Alex Ferguson, Jim "f**k you Maggie Faulds" Clunie, Ricky MacFarlane and Tony "am no just saying that" Fitzpatrick for Press and Media enquiries. It's actually quite amazing how many former Saints players (some of whom played under Fergie, Clunie, and Ricky) went into management and coaching themselves once they retired with varying degrees of success. C'mon Div - get it sorted and write a software app that can deliver this technology and enable it to interface with the fans. Cool. Div... Can I ask for Frank McDougall, Bobby Reid, Aber, Lexy, Fitzy, Victor, Roy Aitken, Dibble, Peter Weir, Gunni and a 100% fit George Michael, AKA Stickroth. Thanks Div.
