An eye for a good benchwarmer in Rory Loy? An ignorance of how a small club NEEDS to promote from within and make sure we fill the bench with possible future players so they have a goal to aim for? This man would only be getting a job because Scott is his pal. We complained that Stubbs brought Jackson in as jobs for the boys. Well this would be the ultimate. What is MacPherson going to really bring to the party? Is OK to be sidelined when it comes to recruitment? Sorry. manager picks the team. Manager should know what the deficiencies are. Manager should be allowed to seek out the right fit for the team. In attitude as well as skill set. IF the manager goes then that's a chance you take. IF the club get rid just after he signs players then it's the board who are at fault. Keep GM out!!!!! Agree with the general sentiment but Mooy was a Lennon signing.

Really? That's like saying Jack Ross didn't rate Cammy Smith very much because he almost never finished the 90 mins under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Gus and bike-related player rejection yo could have Mahrez, although I have doubts about parts of that story and how involved he was in it.

Hambud Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 It actually beggers belief how people just remember the negatives.I remember Fergie saying that st mirren fans had a chip on their shoulders. I thought that was incredibly unfair but this thread makes me wonder.For the reason that he polarises opinion so greatly I don't think it would be fair on OK to bring him in though I do feel he would probably do a good job as he has done in the past.

I appreciated what Gus did for us initially but it would be lunacy to think what was served in the four years prior to him leaving was anything but drab and dire.

Hambud Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I guess different people look for different things in football. Beating Rangers in their final visit to Love street, cup semi's, cup finals, pumping celtic, winning at Tynecastle, great home record against Hibs, regularly beating motherwell had all become boring.

pozbaird Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Quick question. From what we know, does Oran Kearney strike anyone as being a fool? An idiot? Second question. Does he come across as the kind of guy who, when his nose might have been put out of joint at missing out to Stubbs first time around, is likely to up sticks with family in tow, but now having got a full time crack at management, will sheepishly allow Gus MacPherson / Jimmy Nichol / A.N. Other to be the organ grinder while he is merely the dancing monkey? Some of the shite posted on here. Honestly. I should know too, I don’t half post some shite myself, but come to grips.

faraway saint Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 12 pages. Exactly as was predicted when Gus was being mentioned as a possible replacement manager, divides the support, and would have been a dangerous gamble. IF he's brought in as some sort of adviser I see it being a waste of money and the level of criticism/abuse he's receiving here will only increase, and aimed towards the club. Overall I'd bin the idea, not worth the hassle IMO. I fully recognise what he achieved, best to leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So few criticised the appointment of Murray, Rae or Stubbs but they were given a chance. What does that say about our collective knowledge?Maybe we should try getting behind the board and whoever they choose to be part of our team?

No disagreement here... But under GLS, we have had Ross then Stubbs.Both had poor starts.He stood by one and binned the other.I reckon he has shown that if he makes a mistake then he is not afraid to admit it and take decisive action to rectify the situation.
