norrie82 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I totally disagree that we shouldn't be a top flight club. We are a founder member of the league and we have great facilities. We did not need to be in this position and had we appointed the right man we possibly wouldn't be going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened this season was completely avoidable which makes it even more frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yip Teale walked into the best team in Scotland and then he was lucky enough for the board to sell our worst player in years for mega bucks to Aberdeen. So yes Tele has made a right mess of things. What you have to ask though would Albert Einstein have done any better. I think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie82 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I don't blame teale I blame the board for failing to appoint an experienced manager or assistant to help Gary. The team needed a proven boss from outside the club to organise and guide us through rough waters. Now I don't blame Gary but he at least needed help.

Dibbles old paperboy Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Teale will have another year left on his contract as player / coach but was only appointed as interim manager until the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Gary Teale apply for the managers job = NOPE Was GarY Teale asked to be manager = YES The board appointed a manager with no experiance to come into a team that had no home wins. Is that Gary Teals fault = No Is it the boards fault = YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really know if any of that is true Ian , what we do know is that Caldwell and Teale are thick as thieves , and have been for years !

Is that Gary Teals fault = No Is it the boards fault = YES. I agree but would just add that the great Sir Alex was younger than Gary when he came to St.Mirren and his only experience was a few months with East Stirling which hardly counts. All the ex-managers who have been mentioned here have tended to have enjoyed brief spells of success then got bagged. If we get relegated I don't have a clue what the club should do about the manager or anything else. I've now completely lost any faith that the current board has a clue either. I'm hoping against hope that we somehow stay up but if we do it will be despite the current board, not because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 What were the chances of a guy with absolutely no 1st team managerial experience turning things round? Negligible at best. He didn't appoint himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 It looks very much like we are going down , and if we are to stand a chance of coming back up , we need to find that wheeler dealer manager that Stuart Gilmour was talking about in Novemeber , someone who knows the players in the lower divisions and someone who knows the type of player we will need in the lower division , if funds are tight , we need to looking at the likes of Alloa , Livingston , Dumbarton , Cowdenbeath etc and make 7 or 8 signings that will toughen us up and make us competitive next season . I would even consider bringing in Jimmy Nicholl mentoring Stevie Thompson and Jim Goodwin if money is tight . But it is hugely important too get a few seasoned pros in who are used to playing in the championship . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleysaint Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 As soon as the "baw is officially burst" then Teale should be informed we're going in a different direction and the search for a new manager should start in earnest. We'll know what division we're playing in and, once the playoffs are done, we'll know what clubs will be filling (or otherwise) the away end so we can crack on identifying targets and getting the squad ready for next season. It's been an absolute shambles of a season and just about everyone involved should be released or hounded out. There is a stinking, losing mentality about this place and it will take a long time to lift it. I've been rather apathetic about the whole thing recently but found myself very angry last night. Clearly this will take a while to get out of our collective systems. Spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retaining the status quo will see attendances and season ticket sales drop significantly. There has to be key changes to get the club back on track (stabilise) and cannot see how retaining GT would be beneficial to convincing many that the promised change in direction is not further damaging to the club. We do not require tweaking, we require wholesale change top down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 norrie82. I would not go public on what was said due to the love of my Football Club and would leave it at that.Ny wife and family know. Why start something then not say? Did he say that locusts were coming to Paisley, or paint your door red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
