I can't believe that anyone from our board would be so stupid? Nah, it simply can't be true. Can it? No. Headline grabbing. Not like the Record to outshine the main story regarding a non-OF club, with a random bit of OF whataboutery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Boyd Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Might as well go the whole hog and appoint wee Baz Ferguson as his assistant as well then. Just to make sure we get stuffed pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it in the sea, take it out again then get it even further in the sea. Names likely to be linked that are an absolute no for me. Scott Brown ❌ Neil Lennon ❌ Gus McPherson ❌ wouldn’t mind letting Alan McManus have a few games & seeing if he impresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Brown [emoji777] Neil Lennon [emoji777] Gus McPherson [emoji777] wouldn’t mind letting Alan McManus have a few games & seeing if he impresses. McManus till the end of the season with full support and control of on field decision making would be my choice.

Not having a permanent manager would hinder that.But if he wanted the post, and did well till the end of the season, we would have a head start there.Things are going well. Continuity might be to our advantage.That said, look what happened to Killie when Clarke left. A real danger.

However he may turn out to be an inspired choice if that is the board's final decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I was thinking. The gravitas to attract better players is in some ways more important than being some wily old master tactician.

BanburyBud Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don’t know why, but I’d like to see McInnes take over. I think Ross, I am hesitant about and I think financially out with our budget. Brown? Naismith? Not at this important point of the season. ultimately it would be nice just to have a steadying influence and can get respect from the squad to see us through and to continue this good little spell. If we have a good finish it makes us a bit more attractive an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds10 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) The only thing worse than having Brown as manager would be Lennon. A definite no to both of them. It’s hard enough taking on a first role as a manager, even harder in the top division. But when half of the fans already hate you before you’ve even started it would be next to impossible. For that reason alone we shouldn’t go for Brown. Edited February 19, 2022 by ds10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is player/coach at Aberdeen? The connection thing is a bag of shite, it's the person we're after, not if he's played for St Mirren, although that looks like being a factor in the current hysteria.

For me, it's about getting a right man for the job in. Not only are Brown & Lennon not right men for the job, they are both a wrong man for the job.
