santaponsasaint Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Big reality check for many St Mirren fans today about Alan Stubbs ability as a football manager. To appoint this guy before Jim McIntrye and Billy Dodds as coaches was as bad a decision as the SMFC board could have made. His signings from start to finish are also as bad as it gets. Alan Stubbs is a decent individual and was a tremendous player but he is never a football manager and if we are to have any chance of staying in this league we need rid of him. It won't happen though till minimum OctoberThe only we could afford to do is put Stubbs on gardening leave and put Rice in charge. Let's be honest he couldn't be any worse.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Billy a friend of mine left with 10min to go. Seen him at the home dugout pointing the finger and telling Stubbs what the f**k have you done to us plus more. Well done Billy if only we could see that kind of passion on the park. Utter garbage players don't know what they are doing can only be the managers fault. Hearts and Celtic will be cricket scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rice could be way fekn worse. If AS goes then so does Rice and Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the lad Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Has that imposter left yet taking all his signings with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Thing for me is AS said at the Q&A that he told McKenzie he could go cos he can't guarantee him a game every week. Ffs he would be a better player than the 3 center backs we half the day after his operation. Shows you how much Stubbs is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Our reserve team coach has proved himself as far as I'm concerned. He is our get out card and a good one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Noticed that too. It lends credence to the rumour that Smith has been told he can find another club.I’ve seen that Cammy reference a few times now. Anyone got any idea where it came from?

As a clueless sap even I know Cammy is a cracking St Miirren player and the new signings can't lace his boots so unless the boy is a disruptive prik, which I doubt, what is going on?

Buffs Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just in from a day in the pub. Don't know anything about the game or how we played. I can hazard a guess and that result is f**kin abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 When Stephen McGinn looks to have chucked, you know we are in major trouble. Captain should never chuck it. Regardless of what’s happening off the park.He’s out there playing for the football club and the fans before he’s playing for the management. You’re right though, he did chuck it. And I wasn’t surprised when he did.Wouldn’t have him in my top 10 St Mirren captains this century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I was a bit surprised when GLS gave Stubbs a 3 year deal at the time , looks like this going to really hurt us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was poor like all the others and his reaction to Cammy’s introduction says something about the spirit in the dressing room IMO.Not going to get drawn on any Top 10 pish but he was a good enough captain when he helped keep us up and then get promoted. What’s changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t have him in my top 10 St Mirren captains this century. I would easily have him in the top 10. He was as instrumental, if not more, than JR getting us to where we are from the shit we were in. I am staggered at how bad he was today. I try very hard not to say things on this forum that I wouldn't say in front of my maw so I am signing off now as I feel so angry about where we find ourselves this evening.

He didn'twant to be out there today, going by his body language. That shocked me as much as anything else.

dumbarton_bud Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Any chance of playing Dumbarton again? That way Stubbs can do the traditional thing and resign afterwards (see Murray and Rae). Cannot believe we won the Championship 3-months ago. Could see the new players weren't up to it against Spartans and Queens Park. Will happily eat my words if Stubbs comes through but I don't see it happening Edited August 25, 2018 by dumbarton_bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_SMFC Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Why is there so many rumours coming out the club now? True or false, why are we now totally incapable of dealing things behind closed doors, instead of absolutely everybody knowing what's apparently happening. Talk of player chucking it after 9 games? We'd be stuffed under any manager if that's their attitude if things aren't going their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
