gazmc83 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 In future season we paid off managers early but had to keep most of their duff signings on 1 year contracts until they expired... 8 managers / assistants / coaches paid off early since Danny, I'll wager the compo payments will give DL's transfer mutual consenters a run for their money... now who 'signed' all the duff managers and coaches often without interviewing more than a handful of people each time? Now i agree with you there mr Gilmour every time he made a lot off errors of the past 4/5 seasonsNew beginnings now hopefully the new chairman can take his time and get the next one right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Alex Rae on the radio just now covering the Saints' game. He said that, from day one, his relationship with Gordon Scott wasn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll know his days as a manager are finished. No one else will go near him, and no wonder. He really lost the plot over the summer. Time for him to stick to the media and for us to forget all about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lacked motivation, dig, fitness and mental toughness. All things that he did bring last year. It seemed that he just wasn't interested. And he's a hundred percent responsible for that. Mistakes in the transfer market, poor tactics, no game plan, we kind of expected, but he didn't seem to offer anything and McManus has made a change just by not being Alex.

That surprises me i thought all the speakers at the SMISA event at UWS were all speaking from the same brief both Gordan and Alex gave a united message ?

But I'm a bit concerned the wooden spoon is being put in by the old board. Rae has admitted SG has been on the phone to him concerned . Come on SG your a Saints fan time we stuck together we all know you are not a GS fan. This is not about individuals this is about St Mirren.

Thankfully they're both history Ian , they were both instrumental in creating the current mess ! Any genuine concern from either of them should be for the precarious situation they have created at the club ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmour tweeted Div saying I hope nobody has put you up to this after he had put up a poll on twitter asking who the fans wanted to be next manager and it was clear Ross was favourite.Gilmour should remember it was him that got us in this mess with his penny pinching appointments.

Big Jake Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I would like to think the old board would've acted the same way and sacked the manager who took us to the bottom of the league. His stubbornness in playing the same system week in week out showed he lacked the knowledge of how to change it, or his determination not to admit defeat that he was wrong.

djchapsticks Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) It's funny that Gilmour has become so vocal and involved in the goings on at the club now he's out considering it was a completely closed shop in terms of information and interaction by the end of his tenure. I'll never forget sitting in the stand the day of the Rangers liquidation discussion, being asked to take a democratic show of hands and then being condescendingly told that those of us who didn't want Rangers punished for their actions were putting SMFC and it's future at risk. He lost a lot of credibility in my eyes that day. His opinion matters heehaw now. Edited October 9, 2016 by djchapsticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmour has already gone on record saying Rae should have got more time. FWIW, I think Scott, after a slow start, has got everything spot on the last few weeks. Long may it continue.

I just hope that if he's posting on here he's man enough not to hide behind an alias. IMO he lost all credibility in September 2002. It wasn't just the sacking of Tom Hendrie that sickened me, it was the way it was done - particularly in the use of the official website. By the time we'd got to the Rangers saga nothing was a surprise to me, not even the disgraceful way he attacked SFL chairman just days after telling us to leave them alone. Some people still love him and credit him with saving the club. That's fair enough if it's their honest opinion. For me hes the man who killed the St Mirren FC that I loved.
