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. Aye and he's done a wonderful job there. When it comes to connection, I would rather take a chance on McManus. Done out alright with Goodwin, Ross, McPherson etc. Trust me, I would rather bring in someone with a bit of management experience. 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.

northstbuddie Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Steven Naismith is possibly a good shout. He, (like Goodwin and unlike Brown) seems a decent character. Ross is a backward step (for him and Saints) and he is unlikely to be motivated in the St Mirren job. We are likely to go for a promising but untried candidate - so Naismith or Bartley would fill that bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I'm very much in the "NO" camp with regard to Scott Brown coming to Paisley, simply because his onfield arrogance makes him so easy to dislike. He also lacks adequate managerial experience for the vacancy IMO. However his previous Celtic connection should be totally irrelevant to the appointment process. Then again, I was against us signing Roy Aitken all those years ago and he turned out to be a terrific signing (obviously as a player not the manager), so maybe it's best to reserve judgement at this point.

pod Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Might be wrong,(FAS will probably agree) the way I see it, compensation paid for Jim, stumbling block was how to compensate for Lee. Step in Brown and only way he'll move is if offered a coaching/managers job. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldorf34 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Brown like Goodwin was a pain in the arse on the pitch and a gentleman off it. His lack of experience as a manager is the real negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Scott Brown has no experience and is a big risk, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I never really felt that Goodwin was truly with us, his reported role in the end of Danny Lennon's tenure and the stringing along of both Hibs and Saints was unedifying, especially the "mystery Injury" which kept us from cup-tying him. Miraculously resolved as soon as we topped Hibs' offer. Good-ish luck to him, I felt that the times where the players deviated from his tactics and sorted things out for themselves were our best performances in his time. Doesn't matter who you have as a manager, you can always do better. I just hope we get this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) It is always the fickle Buddie fans fault. Always. Bone, Hendrie, Ross and now Goodie. Somehow these guys felt like they were the real thing - a forever kind of love Street fantasy. we should NEVER ever fall half in love with a manager. Though they might think we’re sweet, rather noisy but nice, and worthy of respect and admiration, they’ll never commit to us. Enjoy the short passion and what joy it may bring, but be always prepared for the inevitable bittersweet break-up.

beyond our ken Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Brown would be a free agent as a player, not that i want him Is there a good reason why we couldn't poach McInnes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Why would anybody want Brown as manager just because he had experience of playing for a big club and country for years. So did McCoist, and would any of us want him to manage our team ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargsBud Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Theres no way McInnes would leave Killie so early to join us. The clear and obvious answer here is JR. Don't know why we are wasting time with anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup , he’s also got 17 months of an 18 month Contract left . If he gets them promoted , which is highly likely , he will be knocking on the Rugby park boardroom door for a new improved deal.
