The board and Stubbs perhaps. Ross took us from a dark place with nothing but doom and gloom to a place of euphoria. He left us to continue his upward journey. I wasn't happy with the way he left but it was entirely up to the board who they put in place to carry things forward.

Can't disagree, but the timing of Ross' departure was not helpful to St Mirren to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly Ross' fault though. He could only accept when offered. Unfortunate for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life changing opportunity and if he does well no end to what he can achieve. Not even taking into account the wage rise, the facilities, the fan base.. Alan Archibald was hot property two seasons ago. Now no one would look twice. It’s a fickle game. Jack did a great job, gave us a fantastic season last season.. which many of us older guys might not see again... Mr Stubbs was always a poor choice, not enough homework.. crazy length of contract. We just have to hope the new guy (OK or whoever) can repair the damage Mr Stubbs has done. Our record picking managers is not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what we know of OK he seems to be of a similar mould to JR and that worked well for St Mirren - until he left prematurely. For a SMTID man JR could not apparently get out the door quick enough.

Jack was brilliant for us and we we’re brilliant for Jack. He got a fantastic offer that every single one of us would’ve snapped up.Here’s hoping the new manager is being courted next summer as it means things have gone really well.We need to learn to accept this with grace.

JR left us at a crucial time with a squad which was not up to the job in the SPFL. However, I am sure he would have recruited better than AS did.

Wendy Saintss Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ach, come on, it was tongue in cheek. I can't believe some folk are still taking issue with it. I fully expected the thread to be deleted in any event. It wasn't big and it wasn't clever, but it was hardly worth fretting over either.Boo boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teale shouldn’t really count either as he was never given it long term just to the end of the season as we were pretty much dead and buried.

buddies1877 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ok Danny TC Murray Rae Ross Stubbs and now new one = 7 since 2014 [emoji23] you just trying to make things sound as bad as possible for the hell of it. If your going to count someone that isn’t even appointed yet then why not count from when Danny was appointed 4 years before lol Ignore the fact Danny and gus got long spells at the club and jack wasn’t sacked so would still have been here You would make a good journalist for the sun. Some on here just love a good bit of negativity to boost their day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
