Taking Stubbs out the equation here. Cause I and many others didn’t think he was the right man for the job at the time, but that’s beside the point. What’s happened here is the club has went through a lengthy and apparently thorough recruitment process in the summer. Four managers made final interview and then one was picked. We then get through the league cup group stage for the first time ever and beat Dundee in our first game. We then have expected losses at Ibrox and Pittodrie. Essentially he’s been sacked because one game, the home loss to Livingston. There can be no other reason. If he wins that we’d be in the top six and he couldn’t be sacked. What message does that send out? If the next manager loses 3 of his first 4 games (as is pretty likely looking at the fixtures) will he be sacked too? I think who comes out of this whole sorry episode looking the worst isn’t Stubbs. It’s Scott, Fitzpatrick and the rest of the board. If they’re going to give a manager (any manager) a 3 year deal in June you can’t be sacking him less than 3 months later. Both Fitzpatrick and Scott should seriously be considering their positions this evening. By sacking Stubbs they’ve done nothing else but admit their complete incompetence when it comes to running a football club and recruiting managers. How can we as a club trust them to appoint the next one? Sack the board. Start a thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know and respect to everyone’s opinions for and against. Can’t help but think how this reflects on the club. Three of the last four managers have been a disaster.... the successful one couldn’t get out quick enough. Historically when we are on the cusp of something good our club has a terrible tendency to self combust. I know Stubbs clearly got wrong, the board have a lot to answer for..... So to the next chapter Excellent post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was more to things than that , recruitment and morale being only two , He just wasn't the guy for the job the Rotherham situation couldn't have been taken in to consideration IMO.

scottd Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 The signs weren’t right from the beginning. First media interviews and he never mentioned the words St Mirren, choosing instead to reference Brendan, Stevie G and Hibs. I just got the impression that he didn’t want to be here. As for his recruitment it was abysmal and leaves the next guy with a big job to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambud Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 One thing I will say about this whole farce is the club had a massive culture problem with how much information from within the club is leaked. Any sign of trouble you have 8 different people coming out from sources in the know. I'd agree with that. Said as much a week ago. It's good to be close to the players when the times are good but when the times are bad it's all a bit too close for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the full context, this is meaningless. It could easily have been an attempt at banter misinterpreted by others. You should never trust anyone fully on stuff like this.

Indeed. TC is even more deluded than his posts suggest if he thinks the dismissal was down to one game. However, he is correct that it is rather embarrassing that Stubbs was appointed in the first place. If McIntyre does get the gig an is a success, I'll be first to admit that I was wrong. Although I have heard another name being mentioned as our new manager. Edited September 3, 2018 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be no other reason. If he wins that we’d be in the top six and he couldn’t be sacked. Please tell me that you don't really think this. Of course there can be numerous other reasons why he would be sacked, and I suspect that several apply in this context. This wasn't just about the results of football matches, much less one match. If you genuinely believe anything else, you are beyond hope. As it goes, I think you are trolling. Poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambud Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Whoever from the club leaked this information (directly or indirectly) to Stewart Gilmour this morning will be regretting the error of their judgement. Hopefully this is sorted out by GLS & Co so that there is not a repetition of this breach of confidence in the future.Begs the question why would SG feel the need to act the big man revealing information.He's not a nieve wee guy posting on a website needing to prove be ITK.
