Dave The Buddie Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Let get right behind the new manager. Needs time and at least the January window to see what squad he can shape. We are crying out for stability and I think this appointment needs to be long term even if we need to go down to come back up which I know is easier said than done. Welcome Oran delighted to have you in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyond our ken Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I heard we got a good referrence as a prospective employer. "Dear Kenny, or Mr Shiels (still not got used to calling you Da!) I have been offered a job at that saint mirren mob, do you think I should take it? Your loving son-in-law, Okie." "Dear Okie It's Mr Shiels to you Not St Mirren! I hate them more than I hate myself. But take the job, relegate them and crush the club as you go is the only advice I can give. Your ratbag of a father in law Mr Shiels" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Welcome aboard etc. Hope he’s a success, if he’s not we are certainly going down. Looking at his CV I can clearly see why the BOD thought Stubbs was a stronger candidate a few weeks ago. In terms of gambles, this has to be the biggest gamble of an appointment we’ve ever made. This is a guy who’s never worked in Scottish or an equivalent level football before, as a player or as a coach. This is the equivalent of appointing a manager from the junior leagues. Someone like Goodwin or even Thompson would have been far less of a gamble. They also have no full time managerial experience , but at least they know the league and the club. Oh well, long shots sometimes come off. Kearney is going to be stuck with another means team for the next 4 months. So even if he doesn’t improve performances he can’t really be blamed. I guess we can start blaming him if we are still in the bottom 2 come Feb time. If we are I guess he will be for the bullet too. Then we will have another manager working with a group of players he didn’t sign [emoji38] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
