And I would say there are many qualities shared by both roles. Do I want him as our first team coach or manager ? I really Don’t know 🤷♂️ One thing I will say , IF he is chosen , he should get the full support of all Saints fans while in the job …. Regardless of who his Dad is. We do know that he is not the manager. And if you don't know what the respective roles are in that set-up I'd suggest that your assertion on shared qualities is speculative at best. If he is the striker coach then I'd suggest it's the main area that Scotland has struggled in lately. In any case, if he came to us and started well then he would likely be off to Hearts within months 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strachan was filleted at the weekend by pundits on radio scotland for the way he influenced the sacking of McPake and the installation of his old pal McGhee. In Fergie's first book he was described as someone you couldn't turn your back on A big no from me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Ross was the cheaper option as he is out of work and there would be no compensation. I am glad he was approached and that option has been ruled out. Better we go for McInnes. I don't really see anyone else managing in Scotland currently who is showing the potential 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Unusually we are looking for a manager who would suit our squad. We appear to have a collection of very capable and well bonded players that are suited to a fast paced attacking formation. One that I believe was underutilised by JG. Get the right person in place quickly and, within a matter of weeks, we could be saying, Jim who and thanking him for putting the building blocks in place for us to possibly get him sacked for failing to overtake us at his new club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original 59er Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Interesting times, yet again in the magic roundabout of Scottish soccer management and the actions taken by their respective Boards. The only slight saving grace for us this time round is that it wasn't a push from above, but a reasonably well performing manager that has left us in this state again. Having read copious posts in at least three articles on this subject in B&WA it is both mind boggling and amusing to read many of the views of our disparate group of fans. There are many who seem to wish for the old tried and tested (and frequently failed) route of a Manager who quite bluntly is either past his best, never had his best, or shone briefly at some club or other a year or two ago........................ please oh please let's not go down that route. The only candidate I can think of that suits that description might be Derek McInnes, and even then I'm not entirely happy in my own mind that he is the answer. Then there is the JR group of supporters, and even I have been on record to say that he wouldn't be the worst appointment, but I do understand 'Tedious Tom's' point of view, and maybe it is wrong to look back, as his move away at the time it happened was a real blow and I don't think for one second he gave Saints a second thought (just think of the poaching of Saints staff and players subsequently and you might see that point). So where next? There has been vitriol about Brown (99% of which is misplaced) and real doubts about Naismith, this being his first appointment and he will be off to Hearts as their next Manager etc. etc on the first bus available when they have a vacancy. It would be a gutsy decision by the Board to go with either, but I do think that's where we lie in this small goldfish bowl of Scottish Football. We like to think we are a big club, but we can't really compete financially with at least 4 or maybe as much as 6 teams in Scotland, so we have to cut our cloth accordingly. I would welcome either of these people into the Club. We are generally seen as a well run stepping stone club and with both of these candidates they may be untested, but we may also get a gem for a year or three. If you put me in a corner and put a gun to my head and say who would you chose?:.................... Brown. He is committed, forceful, intelligent, a winner (no matter how well you think of Celtic over these years), and he knows a lot about the game and players and how to get the best out of them. Now you can fire the bullet!💥 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez was sacked from Everton because the fans wanted him out, he's not playing up to anyone. Spanish coaches and teams revolutionised the way football should be played the ball hardly leaves the ground, I'm guessing that's what he admired, in Scotland it hardly touches the ground in the first 10 minutes of every game and is awful to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Another reason why I would respect Naismith is that he didn’t have an EBT with Rangers, was paid his dues without any illegal added benefits and when Rangers died he accepted that fact (that the old club was very deid!), did not allow himself to be baffled by the lies surrounding new Sevco and… walked away. Fans of that new clumpany still dislike Naismith for exercising his right to market himself to a new club. In his case, Everton. A decent, rational individual.

I reckon he's the best of the 2 and will get the backing of all the fans as long as he does OK Brown maybe upset a few no matter how he does 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
