Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread

Wasnt this why Robertson, then Flaherty, were hired?

To bridge the gap between the Browns and new owners?

Obviously huge question marks over Flahertys ability to actually manage it.

So in around two and a half weeks the board will be Roddy "don't do emails" Grant. That's it.

We will of course have Geoff our owner but it's not realistic to expect or want the old boy to step in. So who does he turn to? He's not asked me so I can safely say I'm ruled out, so far anyway. Anyone got any ideas? Anyone been asked to help out?

Will just be Roddy spending 3 hours trying to get the conference phone thing to work!

I think there might be some governance issues, so yeah, Geoff will probably need to appoint himself back onto the board. I'd assume maybe Ian Flaherty and Gus McPherson might get added too short term. 

I'm not sure whether there is either some expectation management being done around not having new owners lined up or whether there is genuinely nothing as advanced as most thought.

If the club isn't sold over the summer, we will need to appoint a proper board and should really have some externals for perspective.

Coyle leaving QP. Only way I could see it is if he has a another job lined up and I'd be very surprised if it's us (although not stunned) what do you reckon?  A glorious return?

He at least has previous experience of doing it so don't think this will be an issue at all.  He is ideally qualified to lead a top flight Scottish football club.  Roddy can back him up where required.

If things on the pitch are not bad enough then have a look off it.  Grim.

I would be surprised if he came back too, but you never know. QP played some good stuff - might see plenty goals for a change 😂

Or he might be off to Dens.....

Aye the clock is ticking to get all the behind the scenes stuff sorted. It's pretty messy. Hope they don't do anything half arsed and completely balls it up.

More like their Celtic mad fuhrer is pumping a fortune at Neil Lennon, tbh.

As for Coyle, i dont think id be wanting him if we stayed up. If we go down then maybe but it kind of felt like he caught lightening in a bottle first time around. I dont think he'd manage it again.

We need something new.

Unless they're punting Dempster I can't see Lennon joining.

Theyre an absolute shambles where one foot doesnt know what the others doing.

Theyll hire Lennon then discover he cant work beside Dempster, and end up having both leave within a week or something equally mental.

Actually much harder than I thought it’d be and had a late swap of Montgomery for Wright as I didn’t like the back three of Rooney, Shaughnessy, Kerr. Ridiculously harsh to have left some of the players I’ve left out too.

This would be mine too, but swaping Kennedy for Craig.

Easy to forget just how good some players were in certain seasons, but there was one game that season, Dundee away, where Kennedy was probably the best I think I have ever seen a player play in a Saints shirt.

Swanson too was immense for us in periods. Again, some games he was near unplayable.

If we could have had peak Swanson, Kennedy and O'Halloran in the same team together we would have absolutely smashed some teams.
