grant MFC Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Steve Clarke? Im trying to think of another Steve Clarke as surely your not seriously meaning the one that's the Assistant Manager at West Ham? He was on £400,000 a year! Doubt the saints will pay anywhere near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name comes up because he's an ex-player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggie_93 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Im led to believe that Derek Adams has signed a deal with St Mirren any truth in this? Very much doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goobalsmack Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 HAHAHA, I Think its quite funny how a bunch of hopeless duds actually believe tht wif no budjet they can find a better manager, in my opinion, they have simply thrown away their only mere chance of survival next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Im led to believe that Derek Adams has signed a deal with St Mirren any truth in this? If the takeover is to happen, a new manager will be appointed after that. Gilmour has apparently said an announcement will be made within the next couple of days to inform the fans what is happening. Until that announcement I would be very surprised if anything happens on the managerial front, no matter what the papers (or idle gossip) allude to.

BuddieinEK Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Im surprised McGlynn hasnt been mentioned. Ive been mentioning him on another site. For me... Adams would be my no 1 target... with McGlynn an adequate alternative. What are his best and worst points in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Law Stud Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think Adams would be a good appointment unless you were taking George Adams too. IMO McDowell should be the target as he is known and trusted by Celtic and Murray Park with their youths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deky Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think anyone with half a brain is suggesting that he would be a realistic candidate. His name comes up because he's an ex-player. He's bluddie minded though, always a plus. Jim Gannon will be the new St Mirren manger, but I've voted for Lennon because Gannon's not an option.

Jam Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Think McDowall is the best for the job, but I would also like to see big Mixu in the Scottish game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Think McDowall is the best for the job, but I would also like to see big Mixu in the Scottish game. I was looking to see what Mixu was up to, and wiki shows he's not a manager just now. He may be doing things in the media, I'm not sure, but I feel the return of Mixu would be welcomed by most Saints fans. While the Hibs fans didn't take to him, he wasn't given a lot of time and finished in the top 6 in his only season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stall Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 f**k i hope not for us. Why not? He's been managing in Scotland for 3 seasons now and his teams have finished above St Mirren every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiekranky Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Surely Pressley has to get a mention, a young ambitious manager like that would jump at the chance to f*ck up another SPL side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on £400,000 a year! Doubt the saints will pay anywhere near that. £1.2m a year I believe. With Zola on £1.8m. Shows just how gargantuan the gap between SPL and EPL has become when the assistant manager of one of the relagation candidates gets paid double (and maybe more?) what the highest manager in the SPL gets.

Szamo's_Ammo Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't know why Gordon Brown is on the list. Does he have any managerial experience? I can't think of anyone becoming a football manager having not been involved in the sport as player/coach previously. If Gordon Brown is 1000/1 then what are the odds on Jocky Scott who hasn't even been given a mention? The St Mirren board could make a few quid.

Demented Zebra Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think anyone with half a brain is suggesting that he would be a realistic candidate. His name comes up because he's an ex-player. Steve Clark took in a Saints home game recently and admitted he was shocked by the standard on display , not just Saints but the SPL in the whole. He went on to say he would consider going into management in the SPL . Not convinced he knows the Scottish game well enough though he did well when boss of Newcastle for a period. Kenny McDowall remains my number one choice , however I can’t see Stuart Gilmour appointing him after sacking him as Jimmy Bones assistant. Our fans are going on about a take over but Gilmour in today’s PDE does not hint at one in the near future.Thankfully no compensation was paid out to Gus due to a clause in his contract. Gilmour has obviously learned over the Hendriegate affaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Gilmour wasn't the chairman when McDowall was sacked, was he? Was he on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Gilmour wasn't the chairman when McDowall was sacked, was he? Was he on the board? McDowall was sacked in 96. John Paton was chairman at the time. Gilmour didn't become chairman until 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
