Would generate excitement, no, hold on, would generate complete and utter shock. I would never have seen anything like that rabbit out a hat in my St Mirren supporting life. Therefore, I am expecting a ‘meh’ managerial announcement, rather than anticipating something akin to Zlatan Ibrahimovich signing for Dundee United. Zlatan told me that we are his first choice! If only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottd Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Dibbles old paperboy said: because of the players who Fergie had signed to the first team and reserves and scouting network he had put in place. Have you had a look at the squad Jack has bequeathed to us for next season? We have 6 or 7 players who are easily the right quality for the top division and another 4 or 5 that are gambles at that level and a few that didn't cut it in the Championship. Fergie had been in charge for nearly 4 years when he left. Also it was much easier to build a settled squad in those days as footballers contracts were one step up from that of an indentured labourer which meant there was less player movement than there is these days. The advent of freedom of contract in the early 80s meant clubs could no longer hold on to registrations of players when they had turned down reduced terms and then the Bosman ruling really opened up the player market meaning it became much more fluid with players moving more frequently.

Correction Linwood. He was declared bankrupt before this could be applied. Therefore he has no money to pay with or assets which can be realised. As with Dave King who also has no personal wealth. Only thing is... Makes it difficult to open a new bank account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be on his big list of clubs that he's always dreamed playing/managed for. He was probably impressed by us when we spanked them 4-0 and couldn't escape John Potter's back pocket.

Sonny Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I heard it was Arsene Wegner. He is still pissed at being forced out at Arsenal and feels he has something to prove and supported us as a boy after watching us in Mechelin when he dogged school to travel to watch us that night.

I am sure we faced Deadco in a pre-season friendly at Love Street, and it might even have been Gascoigne’s debut. My memory may be playing tricks, but my recollection is that we rolled up prepared to boo his arse off the field, but it was apparent he was class, and when Deadco substituted him, he received applause from a St Mirren support who recognised quality, no matter the jersey it was wearing. Can anyone confirm or deny!? Annnywayyy... my socks may or may not be about to be knocked off, my money is on them remaining resolutely on my feet. His replacement was a certain Ian Nicolson. The discerning Saints fans would have clearly been applauding Nicolson onto the park in anticipation of 99/00.

Ronnie Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Last time I heard anyone at St Mirren talking about an ambitious signing that no-one would believe a club like St MIrren could pull off Mark Crilly was revealed as a new signing. Another top class signing we had a barrowload of them during the 80's & 90's. On the subject of Mark Crilly I have saw a couple of times over the last few years a guy driving a White Audi or BMW with the Name Crilly on the registration plate wondered if that was/is Mark Crilly. Edited to add - we signed him in 2003 my memory is playing tricks on me thought it was earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
