windae cleaner Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/scotfoot About 27 minutes into the podcast. ETA: pretty tiresome, to be honest. Apathy reigns supreme. Never said anything out of the ordinary. I don't think he can get us out of it. Also i don't think a new man could either. We haven't the players in certain areas The squad is a shambles as we have been saying all summer. More than Danny Lennon are at fault here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) To be fair...his records pretty good when u look at it from his perspective of from when he was appointed till now.Up to a point, yes.That said, he can't dine out indefinitely on past successes. I couldn't down tools at work today on the basis that my previous record is pretty decent. There are major problems just now, and he needs to focus 100% on addressing these.

Kendo Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 To be fair...his records pretty good when u look at it from his perspective of from when he was appointed till now. Ageed, that's why he's been given a chance to turn it around. It would appear that his issue is falling out with players that he signed and not replacing them, his recent record is horrific.

Hendo Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Lennon's record in the SPL is not good, not good at all. I think since joining, his win percentage is around 20%. An average manager would hope to have a win percentage of 30 odd % and a good manager 40 odd %. Not many managers would survive winning only on average one game in five.

marrez Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 You cant argue that he's done better than any other Saints manager in many a year in the league, thats however probably more an indication of the managers we have, rather than anything extra amazing danny has done.

Yeh it makes you wonder. . I wonder also how a guy like Derek Adams is able to achieve what he has achieved and managed to get ex-players of ours doing a job for him. Football , eh. .

beyond our ken Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Good for Danny, really pleased to hear him come out fighting. A bit fire in the belly is a good thing. Better than blah blah blah sh*t Good point, think of the amount of people who spend most of their waking hours on a forum complaining that he lacks the guts for the job and then he gets panned for being a little outspoken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Danny asks who are we going to get in to replace him that will do a better job? FFS!! He is entitled to ask the question-he is a cup winning manager ffs. Justifiable sense of pride, if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder also how a guy like Derek Adams is able to achieve what he has achieved and managed to get ex-players of ours doing a job for him. Football , eh. . I am not sure Derek Adams is a good example at this point as other than humping us his team this season is every bit as bad as ours. I wonder if he is under pressure? Admittedly he did a fine job last season but then so did Danny with leading us to winning a trophy. For me, it has to be league record and winning 2 games this calendar year is what he should be judged on. Like Alex Smith, Danny had the chance to use a cup win as a springboard to greater things but failed to do this for whatever reason(s). The failure to address the quality that left us this season and the shortage of players at certain positions will impact on us until we can perhaps address some of it at the next transfer window. There is nothing more that can be done other than trying to get the best 11 out of the park and them playing to their potential, get a few wins under the belt and let confidence do the rest - for both players and manager.

oaksoft Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 He is entitled to ask the question-he is a cup winning manager ffs. Justifiable sense of pride, if you ask me I think he is trying to sow a seed of doubt into the minds of the directors that if they replace him they'll end up with an even worse manager. It's a high risk strategy but he may be genuinely pissed at having his ability called into question by people he doesn't feel have any right to complain about his ability when he's given them everything they asked for so far.

murray street Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) It reeks of desperation, I think this is a man that knows he is on the road out and he is just trying to protect the contract settlement coming to him, by being all thud and bluster he is trying to go down with his head held high. It would probably be better all round if we could just get a mutual consent situation between danny and st mirren.

Bart Simpson Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think he is trying to sow a seed of doubt into the minds of the directors that if they replace him they'll end up with an even worse manager. It's a high risk strategy but he may be genuinely pissed at having his ability called into question by people he doesn't feel have any right to complain about his ability when he's given them everything they asked for so far. The directors I assume follow the opinions of the fans though. I honestly don't think there is anyone better out there and whilst it is the last of my arguments regarding his ongoing tenure, it is a good point. All that is lacking is confidence. With that restored results will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbar_bud Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 If, as has been mentioned previously, that we budget every year for 11th then Danny avoiding relegation every year and adding the bonus of a cup can justifiably make these claims IMO. I may not agree with what hes saying but thats irrelevant really, if he has achieving every objective the club set him , ie avoid relegation, and with the added bonus of the cup win then he has every right to question what the club would do if they sack him. Like I said, i may not agree but i dont think DL can be criticised for making these comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottd Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I don't think MacPherson ever said anything similar to what Lennon has but his fans on here certainly did. It is a high risk strategy to say 'it could be worse under someone else' as eventually you bluff will be called and the hypothesis will be tested.

norrie82 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Maybe growing a set and facing the naysayers down? Nah, sounds like he might be chucking a grenade over his shoulder on the way out the door. Did you know before he speaks to the media he has a coach who scripts his answers ?

billyg Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 It's worth pointing out to Lennon that the last manager who won us a cup was on an horrendous league run (2 draws and four defeats in his last six) the following season with relegation staring us in the face when he was bagged , the new guys came in with two games to go and won both of them , with the same players !
