DougJamie Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 If we do replace Oran, then we give up hope of ever being taken seriously and will end up with muppets applying. We have a serious problem however we finish We just dont have loans but we have very few Scots. 1 out 10 of Orans/Gus picks are Scots. We are setting up for a huge fall if we dont start backing the picks our BOD makes................... We also need players starting to come thru again, we have zero assests on the pitch................ Scottish Football is going backwards again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Football is going backwards again You have responded to some hypothetical nonsense - Oran is not getting replaced any time soon. That would be crazy stuff.... Unbelievable fans are talking like this. Oran walked into a nightmare but knew it and still had the balls to take us on. He knew that it was a total F-up of a squad and he, and the managers internally made a plan, executed it almost perfectly by getting rid of the duds and bringing in almost an entire new team of players. Of course had it been down to them they would have kept Hammill - but it wasn't. The new guys are hardly in the door and we have played 1 game with them all now here and it was against the 2nd best team (certainly 2nd biggest budget) and the ref gave them unwarranted penalties - and fans are knicker-wetting. Our squad is part way to the transition from being Championship level to being a very competent Premiership level and after all the chaos - in a way we are lucky that Dee and the Hammers are totally shi*e. All the teams have loan players and we have an uncertain future whether we stay up or not (as do our 2 nearest rivals) . It therefore makes sense having loan players. The fact that some are foreign rather than Scottish is good in a way - the fact that Hladky, Popescu already look like better players than we could have afforded if they were Scottish - Hladky is here for 18 months and we have an option to buy Popescu. However, we are still producing younger players - even though we have moved up a level, guys like Erhahon and MacPherson are getting 1st team games. I don't agree we have zero assets on the pitch - I think all our players are of value - once they have some time together I am confident we will be thinking a whole lot more confidently about the future too. In the summer there will be more outs and ins - same for every team. We might have more of these than the likes of the Fakes, but they have been able to establish themselves and that is there system, a few out a few in to keep the squad more settled... We might just get there, but survival is the target for now . . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep losing every week and Oran gets the same points return of 0.4 a game he will go. We dont have any player of the quality of Mallan Morgan or McLean. I hope Oran stays but he needs to be better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Oran stays but he needs to be better. fair point - IF we don't win much, the BOD will have the option to sack him. However, it is not the preferred option and the GS stated this by saying whatever happens, relegation or not Oran would be our manager going forward. (Or words to that effect) So it is not based purely on my opinion. We don't have a player the quality of Messi or other guys that play in better teams than us either. Mallan is doing well for Hibs, McLean only played 5 games at Norwick - but they are both teams not only rated higher than us, but with bigger budgets. I am not sure though whether we don't have anyone who will prove to be worth more though... give the new guys a chance to show what they can do and give Oran a chance to teach them how he wants them to play together... then we can better judge things . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldorf34 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 We lack leadership on the park when things go against us,heads go down too quickly. And sad to say McGinn time is coming to an end ,gets caught on the ball,slow to react, just when we need him to stand up ,Hugh Murray style and drive us forward. Do not see any of the loan guys taking up the torch on our behalf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we sign one I would expect McGinn Stephoen to be out for a while. Some Saints fans have short memories.

I just love the title of this thread - it automatically takes me to Donald Rumsfeld - here is a wee taster for our perusal :- He was a clever man - but there are things that we cannot or don't know - especially when it comes to the future ! Go on then - have a wee smile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shipped most of them out. Trying to bring the quality in as replacements was always tough for a club like ours plus most others outbid us. It is too early to judge whether those brought in will gel and improve the performances and results. What else do you do if your primary targets don't sign? Every signing is a gamble so all we can do is continue to support the players and management team. If we go down then we start again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
