Dan Is The Man Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 STV stating it’s over his commute. Surely this has been put to bed. GLS demanding he moves over? Do Tommy Wright and Stephen Robinson not commute from N. Ire as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quotes attributed to GS on OK's commute and missing his family seem to show genuine understanding - can't see two people falling out over the tone of that conversation. So what's changed?

If the reasons for him going ARE that, I'll be f**king raging. Fair comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Fitzpatrick wanted Oran to replace JR and pushed strongly for him to get the job once again when Stubbs left. 30 days until our first competitive match and we have news like this coming out of the club. Say what you want about the previous board, at least our former Chairman actually knew how to do his job unlike this imposter. We all knew this at the time of Stubbs appointment ,Oran was highly praised at the time and it was mentioned about the lack of knowledge of the Scottish game ,it was even mentioned that he could ask his Father in law IIRC.

Never mind OK leaving (potentially), the ambition of the club on the budget we have is laughable. Champagne lifestyle/cider budget an' all that jazz. Finishing 10th, 9th would be progress and we re-evaluate. However, this is just another clusterf**k close season. Should have seen it coming; No assistant, no new players...... Only 5 weeks to go. The St Mirren way...... Shines a light on why Nicholl chucked it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm not one to blow my own trumpet (but probably wouldnt leave the house if i could) but i said when he was appointed that Kearney should have had a clause in his contract compelling him to move within a reasonable commute by say end of Jan 2019. i have written clauses like that into numerous contracts, and been compelled to abide by them in my own contracts. It really shows the club up as rank amateurs who cant recruit a reasonable manager, and when they do there is nothing but speculation linking them with moves away, forcing them to keep improving the managers contract in a desperate bid to keep them. that coupled with Scott going to the media trying to force Kearney's hand in public to move is just plain amateur dramatics! and a helluve a lot of "Wee Man" syndrome.

I’m sure that was the clause that allowed ra Sellick to punt Macari all those years ago. If stories are to be believed, it’s an utter clusterf**k and the last 12 months starts to make you lose confidence or faith in the board and Chief Exec.

lenziebud Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) I think Kearney will go now, I can't see it going any other way. He has options back in NI and I don't think he's convinced moving his family over etc is the way to go in the short term. GLS is looking for certainty and Kearney can't and won't give it so I think they'll part. Both are correct in their stance IMO Edited June 21, 2019 by lenziebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
