TopCat Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 ImageUploadedByBlack & White Army1450396735.920325.jpg I was certainly expecting an interview process, so that tweet doesn't surprise me. He's normally pretty reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLBud Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Isnt it ironic that this board sacked a fellow board member for inviting a sevconian to a meeting.... But they then try to sign every ex-sevconian walking upright in one capacity or another! Rae has more experience, and at a higher, more varied level than Meltdown had, however with the board stating clearly three days ago they would select someone with "lots of experience" they are again treating the support like mugs. We will not start to return to the standard we should be at until this out of touch board are gone. Lets see how we fare against Alloa now both clubs, with new management start on level pegging??? No surprise that, with Murray gone, you turn your attention back to the BOD. How can this possibly mean so much to you that it affects you so?

Sergie's no1 fan Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ffs. Is this a wind up? Div hopes not . Ouch. I won't ever be able to live that one down will I ? If Rae isn't appointed the new manager I will buy a Morton top and wear it to the home game against Livingston on Boxing Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 It's a strange appointment given what was said at the AGM.We have what we have now so have to get on with supporting Alex . It's a BIG ask to keep us in this league in my opinion with a midfield that has no back bone with Jim Goodwin out. If Alex can keep us in the championship it will have been a successful appointment. If we finish mid table it will have been an outstanding appointment that's how I see it. Welcome to the club Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 You've got a hat and feather to eat. How do you know that it hasn't already been consumed ? You can stick some humble pie on the back burner , shulldo, just in case Rae does make a positive difference. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Straight forward question is Alex Rae the new manager of St.Mirren FC or not? Don't know Buddie. I'm going to go to my scratch and hopefully wake up to find that Herr Rae was just a bad dream , or something that someone cooked up on the radio. .maybe shull or wan of his aliases. .

rabuddies Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Not in the slightest bit true. Calderwood brought in 3 loan signings on the 1st of February, their only player additions. They didn't spend to stay in the league. It was the amount of money he spent on their wages and the increased bonuses for them and for the rest of the squad that amounted to a hefty sum. When he arrived the budget was spent and he convinced the board they needed to spend money and quickly. At the end of the season Johnston told him that the spending could not be replicated for the coming season and Calderwood spat out the dummy and quit.

proudtobeabuddy Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 If this appointment is confirmed then i think Rae will do a better job than Murray, for one he'll get them fitter and he'll also instill a bit more fight in them, which is the least the supporters expect from the team.

Kemp Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Keep us up is his simple target. He leaves with an enhanced reputation in May. Should be a win/win for him and us. Whats this pish? The target is to get 4th place playoff spot and get promoted. Some of the shite you read on here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a 'Rae of hope' then that this nightmare scenario can still be avoided........ The way things have been going it wouldn't surprise me though.

Kemp Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Not in the slightest bit true. Calderwood brought in 3 loan signings on the 1st of February, their only player additions. They didn't spend to stay in the league. Took over Killie in mid January who had won 16% of their games. Win ration of 30% after this and kept them up. Took over Ross County mid Feb when they had only won 3 games all season (12% win ratio) 40% win ratio for the rest of the season. I continue to be perplexed at the anti Jimmy Calderwood mob that seems to exist. The guy is a winner, everywhere he goes....well everywhere in Scotland at least. If we had appointed Calderwood and Nicholl instead of Teale we would no be competing for the top six in the Premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrie82 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Div the point I was making was as a manager. The guy who calls the shots. Alex rae has been a manager for two seasons that's it. He hasn't managed for 7 yes 7 years. This board is onto plums because it makes statements that suggest they are ready to get an experienced manager in someone who has been over the course and has proved himself. Then they appoint a manager who hasn't been a manager for years. Unbelievable jeff you can't make this up Edited December 18, 2015 by norrie82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie82 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Good luck to Alex I have to apologise if I was out of order. I feel experience is crucial as we hover above the third tier. The board said the same yet now are appointing a guy who has been a manager once seven yrs ago. If he can turn this sinking ship around I am all for it. Good luck Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 David Farrell recently had his book serialised in the record. I thought he came across as a bit of a knob.

pod Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 The Board are literally making it up as they go along. No plan, no vision, just day by day. They just want out..... Never knew that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Dunno, did anyone ask them? Or as usual did we just shortlist the least expensive applicants? (The shortlist that started with Alex and ended with Rae) There's me thinking you knew all the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
