aldo_j Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Pre-season due to start on the 18th so think it will be middle of next week before an appointment is made. Would still give the new man 7-10 days ahead of the playing squad returning. Have a feeling that it won’t be one of the usual suspects that have been named in the press so far. Out of them, Hopkin the most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Callum, most managers get sacked eventually. A few get poached like JR but most just get sacked. Doesn't mean they haven't done anything good. Fergie, Tom Hendrie and Danny Lennon all got sacked. Do you think we shouldn't have employed any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sacking hardly means he was a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 So would this imply that you think Lambert would be a good choice for us? Or are you just bored and making mischief... To the first part . I made no comment and I am not sure if he would and any implication attributed to my post comes solely from you but we aren’t discussing Lambert here, our conversation is regarding Steve Clarke.Part 2 , so you believe anyone who has a counter view to you or provides facts in reply to your post to be making mischief ? Really ? My point remains , Steve Clarke had TWO manager positions and was sacked from BOTH. It’s not too difficult to grasp surely , I am not saying SC is ,was or will be a bad manager ,I am simply stating the fact he was sacked.....TWICE .

I mean most potential employers (in the footballing world) would see failure to renew a contract as completely different to getting sacked. Thinking about it, its clearly a massive vote of confidence. I'm guessing the St. Mirren board probably thought he was too good for us and deserved a much better job somewhere else. Our board was lovely like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Can we please stop repeating this nonsense that Alex Ferguson was "sacked by St Mirren." Yes, it makes for a good story - but he had decided to move to Aberdeen and was sacked for going behind the Directors back to organise the move. Sacking Fergie seems to be one of the things St Mirren are most famous for and its a nonsense story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter how any times that this is pointed out to people, there seems to be some sort of memory loss that occurs for certain individuals.

Old Weiserbud Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hello buddies. Long time no post, but what a great eighteen months or so since the TNS game. Interesting to read all the different views, but I think GS will choose sensibly. My own view, for what it's worth and purely gut feeling, is to give Jim Goodwin a shot with Alan (?) McManus as assistant. JG seems to have a strong affinity with the club and I suspect would give it everything same as he did as a player. As regards experience, I'm not sure JR had that much more when he was appointed. Wonder who we'll actually get when the dust settles!

LargsBud Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Looks like we've approached Lambert accordng to Sky Sports. They seem to be moving quickly anyway with plenty of approaches to talk to managers. I expect this to be concluded this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
