    Just for any St Mirren stattos out there, the lad Jim Kellerman from Aldershot has a commonly given DOB of 10/11/97 online, I've seen that on the stmirren.info fansite too. However he was a 1st Year Pro (what they call down there a Scholar) at Wolves in 2011-12...

    He has to be about 3 years younger therefore, as a '97 birth would have been too young to sign pro (have to be 17 in England). The initial signing news gave him as being 23 and that would appear correct. Not seen the correct figure though for what it's worth, FM17 said 11/12/94! :lol:

    Big weight off all of our minds, thanks for that.

  2. So apparently its;

    Tomorrow: Neilson, Stubbs & McIntyre

    Wednesday: Guti, Caldwell & Kearney

    Realistically, my number one choice would be Neilson. McIntyre & Caldwell can GTF. 

    Can't really see us stump up compensation for Kearney unless he shows up incredibly well. Stubbs wouldn't be the most inspiring appointment but probably still a better option than McIntyre or Caldwell. Guti. 

    I'd fucking love us to take a punt on Guti with an experienced assistant.

    Why? He said lots of correct things. 

    Is it the budget comment? He's absolutely correct. He said of ANY job he goes for that he'd want to know of the board's expectations match the budget put forward. 

    If the board want to push for top 6 (not saying they do) but have the second smallest budget in the league, that's not going to sit well with any prospective manger. 

    You really think he's going to say 'aye, give me peanuts to spend on players and I'll deliver European football'. 

    Come on! 

    As long as he's not referring to Fitzy's comments and expecting a budget fitting a top four team.. 

  4. Agree with much of the above. 

    JR has left us in a substantially better shape than when he took over. Although the only way for us at the beginning of last season (regardless of whether we were in League One or the Championship), nobody can deny the fact that he won us the league with exciting football and built a feel good factor about the club stronger than I've seen in years. If I was told 18 months ago that JR would be leaving us as a Premier League team with scope for his replacement to put together his own squad, I'd have bitten your hand off.

    The only gripe I have is if he has indeed spoken to Sunderland before speaking to Gordon Scott. I don't know the legalities around it (if there is any), but to do that after speaking so many times about honesty and integrity towards the club/chairman, it just sours it a little bit. 

    Going forward, my choice would be Robbie Neilson, along with an experienced assistant manager if he's interested. It's too early for Goodwin, IMO.

    I'm just glad that it looks like we're reaching the end of what has been a bizarre end of season saga before the new one starts.

    We're on our fucking way.
