Drew Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Imagine the meltdown on here if this completely unknown, untested, and inexperienced guy gets the gig. If you reckon my Nacho Novo posts were OTT, just wait till I'm unleashed on this, should it come to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakota7 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 It's not like our board to go down the bizarre route is it? I can't see why would go for some untested ex Liverpool player over what is already available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flareybob Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 It could be the other David McDonald who became Dr Who...... He can't become Dr Who as it would clash with him playing Max Miller in the forthcoming "Max Miller Story" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you reckon my Nacho Novo posts were OTT, just wait till I'm unleashed on this, should it come to pass. If this is worse and likely to send you over the edge perhaps they should just give the job to Nacho Novo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Daily Express reporting that he's held talks with the board. Must be something in this, the Express are usually pretty accurate with Saints stories if I recall correctly. The person behind it has since tweeted this, which adds a new dimension to things: Scott Burns @ScottBurns75 · 54m54 minutes ago RE: Today's @ScotExpress story. David Thompson has held managerial talks with an English-group trying to buy @saintmirrenfc. #buddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie88 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hopefully David Thompson won't be appointed as manager. Would much rather we kept Teale in charge if they're going to give the job to a guy with no experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Are we sure he's not odds on to buy the club? No managerial experience whatsoever? How very strange, indeed....

David Thompson has held managerial talks with an English-group trying to buy @saintmirrenfc. #buddies Hmm.... Such a left field development was always likely to be related to yet another party interested in buying the club. Does any know the provinance of this Scott Burns fellow? ETA: he's the Express journo. The plot thickens.... Edited December 24, 2014 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ McG Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Left field doesn't cover it. If we are going with somebody with no experience I would rather Thompson got the gig with Teale as assistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm hoping Gary Teale turns out to fulfill his potential as I would say we have him in charge until the club is sold, if it is ever is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjerseybuddie Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 SG being on holiday in South Africa may be the strongest indicator yet that we are not likely to appoint a new manager any time soon. In fact judging by the style of football and the effort and commitment shown by the team, it could be argued that GT deserves this chance to show what he can do. 2 or three good results over the next couple of weeks then his hat is well and truly in the ring.

In his interview on Radio Scotland, on the day TC was sacked, SG said that he would be just as involved as he would be if he was still in Paisley using Skype, Facetime, phones, texts and e-mail. The transfer window opens in around a week so hopefully they'll make a decision, one way or the other, over the next week to 10 days.

Drew Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) I asked Scott Burns on Twitter if there was anything else to add on the story. He replied thus.... Not really, though I expect major developments early inthe New Year Interesting.... ETA: further tweets indicating that he is confident of concrete developments this time.

El Gingero Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 There's no appointment forthcoming until they decide what's happening with the takeover. That's fairly certain I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Why is SG spending six weeks in South Africa at a time like this?... 1. He's had it planned for ages and has a life outside St Mirren? 2. It's fcuking wet, cold, and miserable here in winter? 3. He has family there? 4. He is using his British Airways air miles before they run out? 5. He's found a cheap printer in Cape Town to update the HoF boards? 6. Our new manager is Desmond Tutu? Need Taggart to solve this mystery. Edited December 24, 2014 by pozbaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
