St. Mirren Looking For A New Manager


Recommended Posts


As suspected absolutely nothing we didn't already know , mcparland and McKinnon both been interviewed along with several others

Yes my time was somewhat wasted in that venture, somewhat wasted indeed.

Before hearing Chic Young I knew that my club were interviewing candidates for the managers position.

After listening to Chic Young I still know that my club are interviewing candidates for the managers position.

Yes it is a reasonable view and yes he'll be judged on that.

You're also right about the fans regarding the previous paragraphs but I'll say it again because it needs repeating - Fans are absolutely clueless about the realities of what it takes to run a football club. They are clueless on tactics, signings and finance. None of that should be debatable. Fans are absolutely and utterly useless when it comes to making proper decisions about the club because they follow their hearts rather than their heads.

As for hiring Gary, I'm more inclined to accept that a rookie manager inheriting a team lacking in confidence will take time to turn things around. Many fans expect an instant tranformation because frankly they are clueless as I explained above.

You might think 5 months is an age but I believe it's not.

I also expected many many mistakes on Gary's part as a result of him being a rookie. Fans pounce on ANY mistake and amplify it as a disaster, a disgrace etc. They do this because.....need I repeat?

HOWEVER.

What I also expect to see is some form of improvement.

Forget relegation. Many fans can't because they can't see beyond the end of their own noses but whatever....forget it for now.

Are we playing better now?

Are we getting results?

The answer to both is undoubtedly yes.

Then the remaining question is simply whether that progress is enough to suggest it will continue next season under Gary or whether it would be better under someone else.

Relegation is irrelevant. Fans MUST stop seeing everything in short terms and start looking at the bigger picture.

5 months is a totally insignificant amount of time to expect a new manager to turn things.

Ross County performed miracles this season but fans are simply ignoring this because....well I'm going round in circles now.

The BOD should and probably will ignore the fans on this.

IMO they are quite correct to do so.

Well there's one fan showing he's clueless.

Im certain Oaksoft is none other than Bill Lees

Not sure. Oaksoft supported independence whereas Lees was always opposed for reasons of 'working class solidarity' and even made a fud of himself on Wings Over Scotland in defence of his beliefs. I can see why you make the connection due to the pomposity in the postings.

Chic didn't really reveal anything just said he spoke to gilmour and hopes to make an announcement ASAP , they have spoken to several managers , he tipped mark burchill as his preference as did Allan Preston , he also believes teale will not get the job and they won't go for a manager that's under contract at another club
