TediousTom Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) This is becoming a regular occurence The next appointment is crucial......something about the froth in my urine tells me the next one will be a good one. Anyway I am impressed by the decisive action of oor Mr Scott. Hanging this failing nonsense out any longer would ony have deepened the damage to Paisley's best ever sporting club. Well done Gordy Scott. Edited September 18, 2016 by TediousTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DXBBud Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Let's hope some good can come of this. The RIGHT manager this time please, not the cheapest.The players must be man enough to put their hands up & say they have contributed to this then get their digits out or they will go the same way come January.

Kendo Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 With this being so swift I wonder if we've already sounded someone out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLBud Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Wow bit surprised but not disappointed. Forget all this rubbish about him being a rangers man. What was clear was that in spite of being a paid employee he wasn't a St Mirren man. There was certainly no great improvement when he took over from Murray and performances this season have been dire. Thought he might have got through to Nov but there you go. I suspect there was a wee meeting with the board and he mouthed off. Good bye you are the weakest link Things may have been shit this season but you can't say he didn't make an improvement on the shitfest Murray presided over.

Meiksyboy Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I still reckon we have a better squad than a lot of teams in our league I think Alex tactics just weren't correct and under new guidance we should improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedflanders123 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 3 minutes ago, Thorizaar said: The unfortunate thing is we are still stuck with the substandard players he signed and re-signed. Time will tell if they are substandard or not. Any player living in fear and/or lacking confidence will not perform. Mallan doesn't become a bad player after last season. A new manager may get the best out of the team through good tactics and motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Is The Man Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hope the people that were desperate for him to get the chop are happy. If memory serves me correctly (speculation) When Kilmarnock and Saints were looking for managers at the same time, Danny Lennon was interviewed by both clubs but Mixu was considered also for Saints. I'm pretty sure Scott's preferred candidate was Mixu but the rest of the board opted for Danny. Can't help but think Scott might eventually get his man.

Mykey Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I have to say I'm not sorry. Didn't want him appointed but I admitted he consolidated well and ground out some results to save us from Murray's debacle, but this season has been hellish, repeating the same errors over and over. On the match day thread when the team was announced several posters (I remember top cat and myself and several others) were amazed at Langford being 1st choice, a flat 4 in midfield with 2 wingers & Malian & Hutton central because it hadn't worked all season. So he had to go. If he'll come i'd like Yogi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Never nice to hear someone has lost their job but they weren't up to the task and we're taking us backwards. Unfortunately I don't believe there was any chance of them rescuing our season and we were (and still are) in real danger of relegation. We need someone to come in and turn things round quickly as we have an extremely tough run of league games against Falkirk, Hibs, Dundee United and Morton around the corner. First up is Dunfermline which we can't afford to lose and looking at the following games we probably need to win. First big decision by GLS and the right one IMO Second decision is the appointment which we need to nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Surprised but not disappointed.His dogmatic refusal to even consider his tactics being a contributory factor went a long way to his downfall.Not going to celebrate two men being made unemployed... But I do think the board has been decisive and is to be applauded for that. He still have his media job and his sidekick can job share with shull [emoji2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insaintee Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm not pleased. And I've never agitated for anyone to get the sack. But it clearly was not working and it's hard to say its not the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) I guess my preferred choice last time and time before out - Stephen Kenny - wouldn't even consider the job now he's managing a team thats just earned their first point in the Europa League. Oh how people laughed and mocked when I put his name forward eh? Edited September 18, 2016 by Stuart Dickson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside Nipper Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well this demonstrates that those running the club clearly see what most of us have seen , unacceptable gash, don't like it, dont see any prospects of improvement and have decisively acted, good on them. Terrible appointment by SG anyway. Thankfully the next recruitment task falls to others and there will be no more chicken legs tossed in the air. I don't care who gets the gig next, hey hoh, it's all a bit of a non magic rounabout just now. What I hope for is a manager that can unite, can set a team out to play with passion width and heck even some pace. Imagine someone that might even support the players. Hopefully St Mirren might even soon get to put the smile back We are a "nice wee club with a nice wee set up" but we'd like some ambition and a plan in there too please. Oh look, it's beer o'clock.

norrie82 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 On passing stadium on Thursday I thought it was strange that what looked like Gordon Scott car and Tony Fitz car where outside with a few others at 9.40pm. I think they have someone lined up? Maybe I'm wrong but seems possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
