Jack the lad Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Was it just that Stubbs was so embarrassed by his teams performance and fitness that he just took to his heels and scampered down the tunnel at the final whistle rather than face the fans? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbs was appointed on the 8th of June. It's mid July for f**k sake. Our support has some right roasters in it, It's f**king embarrassing at times. And it looks like he still hasn't got their fitness levels up to where they were last season. To many golf days maybe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of a laughing stock would we be if we sacked our new manager before July was out. The league will determine our success as in staying up, the Betfred Cup is unlikely to adorn our trophy room again for a long time. Judge the manager when his squad is increased/improved and not before pre-season has finished. It is to early to sack anyone! My concern isn't personally the lack of signings as there is time yet for that, its the use of the players we have so far in a national cup and someone made a good point earlier in that the players look disengaged. Early but not comforting days, I hope he can make this work, its best for us if he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must all be in the Main Stand cause the West Stand is Happy Clapper and Drumming City.... In short, its been a frustrating start for Stubbs, he knows it, therefore far better than some cheeseburger on here Section P last night!! Within 10 minutes last night there was some frothing clown about six rows in front of me yelling abuse at Stubbs with spit flying everywhere.

I'd wait till we at least play one fixture in the Premiership before wetting my Y's and wanting a change of manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to look at how Gus and Danny fared after getting to a final and winning it - both booted out not too long after. I appreciate its probably a typo, however Gus never won the cup. Its probably the main reason most fans lost patience with him. It's not a typo - Gus was relieved of his duties after getting to a final, Danny was relieved of his duties the season after winning it. Neither found doing well in the cup to be something which cemented their position as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Gus was binned because of negative football and aiming for 11th place, whilst teams around us like St Johnstone and Hamilton came up and finished higher! He also seemed to love defensive centre mids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time for proper preparations shull. We were dealt these cards and the club are doing the best they can without rushing into poor hasty signings. Give us time. Give Stubbs time. Give Stubbs support. Easy for everyone to just get the hump and complain. That's why the empty vessels are mug punters and destined for a life of mediocrity posting on forums. I'm the exception that proves the rule of course. As soon as the rumours about JR started i thought that was a lot more damaging to our preparations, it definitely slowed us down a few weeks. They took ages to approach and then when he did eventually leave we had another few weeks of preparation time taken from us looking for a new manager/management team. It's no-one's fault really but was hardly ideal as we looked to do well back in the top league. Stubbs should and will be given time.

I don't think so. I was at the game and the guy involved was literally foaming at the mouth as he hurled abuse. He was about 12 seats along from where we were sitting.
