djchapsticks Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Surprised at that but no issue with this. If the guy can contribute experience then it can only be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondsman Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 If the Record report is to be believed, there's nothing long-term arranged so far. I didn't think Webster contributed a great deal on the playing side but I'm happy to give him an opportunity to coach youngsters given his extensive experience of football at the highest level. I'm with Jack; let's give him a chance and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Nothing to lose here, by the sounds of things. In fairness, along with McManus, they kept a steady enough ship after Rae and Farrell were bagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 He might turn out to be a top coach. Good team being built on and off the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 My respect for Webster has grown somewhat, ever since he admitted he'd been shite, in an interview last season. He also attended the POTY event, despite being released. He's obviously impressed Ross whilst coaching the U-20's, and he could be classed as one of the many coaching requirements for project Brave's requirements. A no lose situation for us.

It also seems he didn't spit the dummy out and try to cause unrest behind the scenes after McGinn was made captain.Wouldn't surprise me if this is just until he gets a play on contract but can't do any harm, especially as some folk have moaned about the lack of former players on the youth academy coaching staff.

saintnextlifetime Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Given the performance Webster gave other teams I was disappointed with his St Mirren spell. However , if Jack is behind this appointment then I'm all for it. . Afterall , it's not Alan Gow we are talking about. .

Agree with all of this. Also liked him when he came on as sub and terrified the life out of Farid el Alagui in the 2-0 away win at Ayr after Farid had gone in late on several of our players. Project Brave still a worry though as it seems to be pandering to the Old Firm's un-ending sense of entitlement. Project Brave seems blatently geared towards ensuring Celtic and Rangers get even more opportunity to dominate acadamy football by, amongst other things, getting a second team into the Scottish leagues - a backstop for their obsession with playing in England. Much though I love the Saints that would be the end of Scottish football for me and I hope the Club is speaking out against the Old Firm Colts concept and indeed any further attempt by Rangers and Celtic to use Project Brave to eke out more preferential treatment from the Scottish football authorities.

St.Ricky Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Andy Webster strikes me as a real pro. He knew his legs had gone and that his time as a player was coming to the end. I think he also recognised the fan's increasing unease. He had played at a high level and has conducted himself well. Welcome to coaching Andy.

That day came against QotS at home when he was getting roasted and ended up subbed to cheers He must have impressed when he and McManus where in charge for a short time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I think it takes some guts (at the very least) to want to stick around and coach at a club where the fans have you constant stick. I mean, that stick was absolutely justified, but it shows you the mark of the man that he wants to carry on and work for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
