East Calder Lion Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 18 hours ago, SJFCtheTeamForMe said: Not overly convinced these names are based on any real info at the moment as the club have probably spoken to absolutely no one so far but even the first page most aren't going to please many Saints fans at all so I hope these are indeed wrong. Murray - f**k off he believes Saints should be in the Championship. Gtf Morris - how committed would he be? Swindon didn't go well, does he know anything about the current state of football in Scotland, doubt it. Sheerin - for me he'd be philosophy before reality and it would cost us. McCabe - again, philosophy over reality. Leven - I don't know enough to comment Martindale - meh. Moaner Kirk - part of the existing problem Mcglynn - maybe? Wright - based on hope would please many Neil - never happening. Will still be coining in from Stoke 10k a week. Thomson - I see absolutely no reason why he'd be anywhere near a candidate. Managing Kelty when they were spending waaaaay above anyone else doesn't give you a CV worth reading. Please take Martindale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 1 hour ago, East Calder Lion said: Please take Martindale That was the old regime and he was a manager thought of as someone to keep things going till the sale, much like Levein. New owners, new outlook. I wouldn't expect the interviews to be anything like the names spouted by so called journalists or bookies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein might be miserable but he's not a bellend like him. Gives off the vibe of one of those who alienates players by being a p***k as well.

See a Dumbarton fan saying he never even told the club he'd accepted a job with St Mirren, and the first the club heard about it was when St Mirren announced it. Seems like, character wise, hes the opposite of what we want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares how good they are at managing a team. Yeah, there's a middle ground between that type of person and an absolute dickhead who said he thinks we belong in the 2nd tier. If Murray was a good manager you'd overlook it but he seems tactically dense and unable to build a balanced squad, so it's not really worth putting up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Just now, RandomGuy. said: If Murray was a good manager you'd overlook it... I wouldn't. He's possibly the only one that's a very hard no for me. You can't be our manager when you've come out with the stuff he did about essentially belonging in the second tier. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both St Mirren and Airdries fortunes greatly improved after he left. I honestly don’t know what he has done to be strongly linked to the job (actually I do know, he played for rangers, and we know that makes you over qualified to manage a diddy team) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they went about that is the issue for me. 20 of their 69pts came with goals in the final 10 minutes when Murray was simply chucking attackers onto the park. They'd regularly finish with a frontline of about 4 or 5 players. Once that stopped working in the 2nd half of the season they never done anything to resolve it, then he got embarrassed trying the same approach v County. He just seems incredibly naive tactically and I could see is getting thumped constantly by top flight sides who can actually counter attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Saints fans objections aren't ability related. They're because of his attitude towards the club and now he wants the job cause he got the sack? Was quite happy to belittle Saints prior cause he arrogant enough to think his team were going to go up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meaning they'd all be arseholes, just i think the idea we're a side who should be happy to just play in the top flight, and who should treat avoiding relegation as an achievement, is probably pretty rife amongst Scottish managers. I'd rather someone came in with the mindset of not caring what our "level" is compared to other clubs and just wanting to push for the best possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every manager outwith the arse cheeks regards avoiding relegation as their top priority. This does not mean they will “settle “ for that or not push to be the best possible. They are professionals and know that the more successful they are with a club like ours, the better the chance of advancing their career. Owen Coyle, Derek McInnes and Steve Lomas moved on to England after various degrees of success with us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
