Kearney will need to work with the tools Stubbs supplied and try to fix things. Stubbs clearly brought the hammer to the club and smashed the dream to pieces.

That might be true, but we are where we are now. Every manager appointment is going to wrongly piss some people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saintss Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Stubbs clearly brought the hammer to the club and smashed the dream to pieces.By telling 2 injury prone players, who have been injured all season and a player JR relegated to the bench, that they can go?Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want Stubbs appointed, I’m glad he’s gone and I did t like his signings.But this repeated line that he ripped up JR’s team just isn’t true.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 1 hour ago, TopCat said: 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 You wanted Ross out at the start and now you are ringing bells again so that means it should work great. if we go down we go down OK will still be manager this is a long term project.

No, but he is well known for not suffering fools gladly. If they dont shape up for him, he'll ship them out. What are you worried about? Ross got rid if ten. His first few months. I expect this guy has a few names on his list already, and none of them are Pike..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get this idea that , if you've not worked in Scotland before your going to be a failure. I could list quite a few managers with no previous experience of the Scottish game that went on to do ok. There are now 4 Northern Ireland managers in the premiership that speaks volumes.

pozbaird Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Yesterday I was teamed up with Brian Rice at the golf day, and the bloke was top class. He could have hid, phoned in sick, blanked the golf day, but he didn’t. A really friendly guy, who is in the middle of something approaching a shit-storm at his place of employment. It’s easy to forget that these guys, and the players, are human beings. Which brings me onto the human aspect of this appointment. The bloke has family, a successful coaching role and a job outside football. Are St Mirren taking a gamble on Kearney? Of course we are, but so is Kearney. He’s now looking not only at coming straight into what is a pressured job, under a fair bit of scrutiny from all sides, but away from home, family, friends, and he will have a shitload of personal stuff to think about - housing, schooling, his affairs, never mind his new job. It’s a cliche ‘give the manager time’, but he really does need it, and I hope he is afforded it, it all works out, and hopefully Brian Rice can work alongside him. Welcome to St Mirren, and best wishes. Edited September 7, 2018 by pozbaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to see a few swift drops from team. Or a manager getting to know his team rather than treating them as expendable subbordinates, explaining decisions and getting the club's assets playing for him? Like i said above what are you panicking about? Ross kicked ten duds as he saw them out as soon as he could, Oran might top that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had people on the forum giving it all "he doesn't suffer fools gladly/has high standards" stuff when Stubbs was decimating last season's squad. The judge of a manager is the quality of players who they bring in. Let's hold off the praise this time every time OK tells someone to GTF.
