Bairnardo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If everyone requests odds on a different 'New Maradona' we can have a Record story on the shortlist of Ariel Ortega, Marcelo Gallardo, Carlos Marinelli, Javier Saviola and Andres D'Alessandro by Friday. Was coming in with Gallardo for the sweep. b*****ds. Ach well, Fernando Redondo has shown interest, and, shifting back to Spain, Julen Guerrero has been viewing houses in Paisley as he makes a play to oust Guti from the potential St Mirren hotseat.

Stubbs seemed like a complete failure at Hibs who was verging on being sacked before winning the cup, he then jumped ship at the first opportunity, to the relief of Hibs fans. Now do the same sort of negative summary for both McIntyre and Caldwell. He wasn't saying Stubbs is the best man for the job, he was saying he looks the best of a bunch of bad candidates. Pragmatically, if there isn't a manager that I would prefer, and to be honest there isn't, we should go for a manager who is likely to have the greatest pull for players. In that case the prime target based purely on shallow assumption, would be Guti, but other than him you have to say Stubbs, for good or bad, has a higher profile than the others being interviewed. Who knows, with the way the English leagues are, Ross could be punted within 6 months (I hope not, I do genuinely wish him well). If that was the case and we were struggling at the time after making a bad appointment now, could he refuse our SOS? Not that I would put money on any of that actually coming to fruition.

Epic fail imo Have you got a crystal ball. It's hilarious how down beat so many Saints fans are at Stubbs making out how crap he is before he has started the job. Mellon it looks like Tranmere Rovers are wanting to keep him how can we compete with their wages , we can't. The Hollywood hit list from Holland and Spain have never heard of Paisley never mind St Mirren. Could they name one Celtic player from the curret team ? Doubt it. We need our feet on the ground and get behind the new manager move forward stop living in dream land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't saying Stubbs is the best man for the job, he was saying he looks the best of a bunch of bad candidates. I don't know anything about Caldwell as a manager. McIntyre had QOS playing well, and had County safe in the top flight until the final season, and even then he'd likely have kept them up if he'd stayed, Coyle had more to do with their relegation than McIntyre. Stubbs failed at Hibs, won a cup on the way, and then failed at Rotherham. You'd be hiring him entirely on one cup run. He's not even got experience of managing in the top flight, if that's what your after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apply and apply for jobs all over Europe constantly yet never seem to actually manage anyone. Kevin Harper knows why Kluivert won't get the job.....

Coventry Saint Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm bored of it now. I want to start hearing about player signings and it's embarrassingly quiet on that front while this shite's going on. Just take fucking anyone. We're in a battle this season either way now, let's just get our heads down and crack on with it. Try to avoid the drop and reassess next season.

ShaggysBeard Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'd imagine it feels like a free hit at it. You either stay up and become a hero or get relegated and call it a difficult season following promotion/first year in the job. St Mirren often give young managers a chance when they have had success at lower divisions like Jack Ross, Ian Murray, Danny Lennon. I'd want Hopkins if I was a St Mirren supporter.

ST Mirren is a club who has to work within the Scottish transfer market and lower reaches of English leagues these superstars have no idea of that market. That was my original point.

To be fair, the question he was asking was why would a foreign manager be asked to name a Celtic player at a job interview for St Mirren? Anyway. Glad this is all being resolved in next 24 hours. Time to make moves and get a squad built. Whoever it is needs 100% backing from the supporters instead of 'that's shite, I wanted ______' I include myself in that should be appoint Caldwell or Mcintyre. They'll need full supporters backing.

Judge him on league results only and I'm not sure he looks good at all. Looking at it completely based on records, he was in charge for Hibs for 100 matches and they won 59. He's got the strongest win rate of any of the remaining candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
