Carl Robe nono no

[Frewboy]

I think back to when we appointed Fergie from East Stirling. Someone saw that he was doing a good job with a small club with little or no money. We all know how that turned out, the best football I have seen us play. I now think of Gary Naysmith at Stenhousemuir and draw parallels with the job he is doing and the job Fergie did back then. Why are we even considering Robinson who has no experience of managing a club in Scotland.

Assuming we are looking at Robinson? It defies logic on every level

Unconfirmed as yet.....

Happier with this than the potential Robinson situation if true 

[fmckinn]

Happier with McLeish, bit meh about Docherty 

[stlucifer]

I see the club are NOT saying Robinson is out of the equation. Merely suggesting he wasn't available now. I hope the reversal is more permanent than that.

St Mirren Football Club can today announce that Craig McLeish will continue to lead the club as interim manager until the end of the season.

Craig, alongside Jamie Langfield, Allan McManus and Marc Kelly, has impressed since taking on the interim position earlier this month and led us to a 2-1 victory away to Falkirk prior to the international break.

We are pleased to confirm that former St Mirren player Stuart Taylor has joined the club to strengthen the interim group. 

Stuart will support Craig, Jamie, Allan and Marc as part of our coaching team until the end of the season.

After the last two games I was in favour of keeping things as they were. 

Is it a gamble? Possibly but, IMO, no more of a gamble than scraping around at this time of the season for another manager. 

Now that's done , focus on the next game.

Craig McLeish remains in interim charge until the end of the season; Stuart Taylor joins as interim assistant

[lenziebud]

Sensible decision IMO. Think he has done well in his 2 games and seems the players are respecting him.

Bit of a holding position till the summer and great opportunity for McLeish

[guinness]

Probably the correct decision. This will cause less disruption than any other course We could have taken. Let's see if it is enough. Looking forward to Saturday against Aberdeen.

As far as paper talk is concerned, the process of looking and interviewing is still going on at the moment but it does stop the temptation of rushing the final decision. I just wonder what happens if McLeish wins the next couple of fixtures and takes us to a final. It would make it very difficult to ignore him.

If he wins the Aberdeen game I will be pleasantly surprised. 

[rabuddies]

I don't think pleasantly should be in that sentence!

Then give him the job

Catch 22. He's still unproven and, according to the paper talk, the timeline would suggest someone else may have been picked by the time McLeish proves his worth.

I'm unsure, even if the remainder of the season is a success (how you interpret that is varied) he'd be offered the job full time. 

The board have stated quite clearly we are where we are untill the end of the season. There will be no movement untill then. 

I think that's the best for all concerned, let's everyone focus on the remaining games. 

If he pulled off a miraculous Cup win and stayed up it would certainly give the board a big decision to make.

That was my point. I think he should get it for survival and another cup. A legend in a handful of games. Melchester Rovers stuff

He'd be very hard to ignore if he pulled that off and I, for one, would have no problems giving him the gig.
