We know we will lose Ronan, Jones, Gogic and Alnwick. I'd rather have a guy in (or woman, I'm cool with that) that has a longer remit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he say he wasn't interested or was it that he didn't expect to be considered for the job ? Clangers & McManus could be a feasible partnership !! Just saying, not advocating it !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Michaels Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Give me a duo of Jason & George Naismith over Steven.. absolutely brutal from the board if they go down that route and a recipe for disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely for the simple fact he is available and they could have kicked off that process before now. With that in mind, for whatever reason, Ross is either not #1 target or he is reluctant to return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Clangers as iterim yeah, even to the end of the season, but the new guy should be identified and announced by the split.I don’t think he’s a long term solution, maybe he doesn’t want to be. Point is if we are going to give it to some random ex player who’s never managed before (Brown, Naismith), why not give it to a random ex player who knows the club, knows the players and is a very good coach by all accounts. He’s got as much chance of being a success as either of them have. In the meantime it gives us a bit of stability at a crucial time of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the compo to Hibs is a bit too steep for us and the BoD want to run the clock down, be a bit cheeky and announce we'll stick with Clangers till this end of this season with Ross for next season - or maybe that's a ridiculous fantasy1 Edited February 19, 2022 by btb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if "would rather find a position out of Scotland" is code for exactly that.

Indeed, although so were McInnes and Neilson, neither of them support the club - or at least not that I know. Still if he's a fan, fair enough, you always feel people will give that extra % when it's your own team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If I’m reading the room reasonably correctly… Muttley - no fcuking thanks. Derek Adams - FFS no fcuking thanks. Scott Brown - jesus wept, no fcuking thanks, bawbag played for Sellik and celebrated a goal against us. Steven Naismith - just no, end of. Paul Lambert - hasn’t been that great at any of his two hundred clubs. Clangers - only for three weeks, then sorry, no. Jack Ross - kunt played us like a fiddle, best of a bad lot though. McManus - did OK as caretaker before, but maybe not the answer. We’re doomed! . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I'm 99% sure McManus doesn't want to be a club manager. Can't provide a source, but I'm very sure he's said it very specifically in the past. Stewart Gilmour weighed in on that, too, saying the work McManus does at youth level is far more important to the club. Let's leave him be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it only a madman would want to be a football manager, with it's inherant insecurity, the best you can hope for is a good looking one like Jim! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, MatthewM02 said: Hi, my name is Matthew Muir and I am studying journalism at City of Glasgow College. I have published an article about potential candidates for the St. Mirren job, if any Buddies would be interested in reading. Thanks https://www.cityliveglasgow.com/journalism/2022/2/18/next-manager-options-four-managerial-candidates-to-replace-jim-goodwin-at-st-mirren No criticism of yourself as it’s something the media have been saying as well, but any talk of Kevin Thomson being a serious contender for the St Mirren job should be nipped in the bud. If St Mirren were adrift at the bottom of the league and preparing for a season in the Championship, then I could maybe just stomach that. St Mirren are genuine contenders for a top 6 finish this season, are in the QFs of the Scottish Cup with a winnable tie, and if they got really lucky could be playing in a European competition next season. By all accounts Thomson is doing a good but not spectacular job with Kelty Hearts in League Two, but nothing that I can see that merits his inclusion on the shortlist for a job at the sharp end of Scottish football. Anyone who knows better than me able to shed any light? Genuinely willing to listen if I’m missing something here, but it seems to me he’s done a bit of media work whilst out of a job and now his mates on the TV and radio are throwing his name around as a favour.

djchapsticks Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Can only hope it's not Stevie Naismith as it appears that this would be an appointment based on nothing but old fashioned nepotism if his dad's link to Kibble is correct. And I say this not as someone who thinks 'Kibble bad', but more in the vein of 'giving a Kibble gaffer's boy the job, bad'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
