accies1874 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 A number 10, you say? Pass him here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 If he's told Cammy Smith to go the board need to tell Stubbs to f**k off. Don't care how much it costs! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Ironically a number 10 is one of the many players we are crying out for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the players potentially available Tansey looks a better fit but Smith would be fine too imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play, I only ever remember him as a striker who could play deeper, but I've not seen him play for a long time now. Would be perfect timing if he could play in the centre of the park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I don’t think even Stubbs is stupid enough to tell his best player he can leave, surely that isn’t true? Maybe I’m giving him too much credit though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Can he still be an effective striker? If so, we'll take him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 He was - just - my PotS last season. Sickening if this is true. Any of the other bottom half clubs would take him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is a number 10 rather than an out-and-out striker. He needs people pulling the defence around in front of him and making runs in behind. People like Morgan and Reilly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Oh it's absolutely true. I heard it today from someone at the game who (given they are a family member of a player) I have no reason whatsoever to doubt. Cammy was informed of this 'weeks ago' as well. Stubbs legitimately has to go. Edited August 26, 2018 by djchapsticks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird on the bench too when those two imposters were on the park. Can't believe GLS sanctioned this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'd have thought when interviewing for a new boss. the club would have been looking for someone that wasn't going to rip up all the old manager's good work? St Mirren fans seemed legitimately excited about the squad Jack Ross had, so you do have to have sympathy for them that a man without a huge track record of league success is happily dismantling it all. I have pointed at him before but Steve Clarke is the perfect example of the line about a manager needing his own players being nonsense. He took a group who were right in the mix for relegation and turned them into a top six side. I don't know why clubs let a new man come in and axe players that have done well, and that's before even considering who the replacements might be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basis of the rumour is he needs to free a wage so he can afford Kenny Miller and he's deemed Smith as surplus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BEN Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That was absolutely brutal. How Brock madsen lasted till 80 mins I’ll never know.Mullen only player with pass marks today. Really hope the rumors about smith aren’t true Can't fault Mullen for effort but he looked like he had his boots on the wrong feet today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why clubs let a new man come in and axe players that have done well, and that's before even considering who the replacements might be. It's fundamentally broken and a quite ridiculous situation. I honestly cannot believe we are back at this situation already after the success of the last 18 months in galvanising a club that was struggling massively. We knew the squad - as it was - would struggle in the Premiership but we had a good base to build on and at least looked like we'd give anyone a game. Really, all he had to do was supplement the majority of the squad with 5 or 6 new faces. A centre half, centre mid, winger, first choice striker, full back cover and a goalie. Guys like Hippolyte and Reilly would have very much done a job as squad players. Unfortunately though he seems to be binning everyone or trying to bin them to make a point and it's having massive and obvious issues with the rest of the team who still remain from last season. There was an open and outward show of defiance when Cammy Smith came on and Stevie McGinn actually went out his way to high five him as he came on the park. For many it was a clear 'f**k you' from club captain to the management...how do you fix that sort of public show of dissent just 10 weeks into a 3 year contract? Do you bin the captain as well? Stephen McGinn is by no means the perfect footballer but the guy is adored by the fans and rightly so. We've become experts at spotting a looming crisis over the last 5 years as we've stumbled through 3 or 4 in that time. There is definitely massive issues at the club just now and something will give sooner rather than later.

Its only became public knowledge in the last 24 hours. Budgetary constraints aren't the issue. Our manager genuinely believes our best attacking player can't play in a 442. Which is funny as it is compounded by the fact that a guy who made a very good career as a centre half, couldn't spot a decent one for the life of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
