18BAIRN76 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Most successful manager in our recent history. Would back him to build a side that would absolutely skoosh the seaside league too.

Rocco Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Most successful manager in our recent history. Would back him to build a side that would absolutely skoosh the seaside league too.He's a shocking man manager and I'd bet a lot of players wouldn't want to play for him, which would make it hard to attract decent players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Will people stop saying “we all wanted Hartley”. No we didn’t, but we gave him the benefit of the doubt. He failed miserably in the long run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered why fans always demand a "young up and coming manager", the best manager in St Johnstones history was hired at the age of 49, just a month or so away from 50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art of employing a manager like players can be the luck of a roll of a dice and unfortunately we haven't been rolling high numbers in both the manager and player departments. I dont think someone with a bit football savvy upstairs helps all too much, would be a benefit no doubt but Alex Smith was around for years and the same carnage has been ongoing when he was here and when he was gone, in fact he gave the board the green light re Hartley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley's attitude (boasting about us pursuing him) should've been noticed. McKinnon had 4 months to identify January signings, limited options aside that's far more time than most managers are afforded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUMBER 7 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) After a defeat tomorrow and next Saturday, I can already hear the first question of interview “ Well Ray, we took it to the last day, but just fell short “. Guaranteed it won’t be “ If you had attacked a bit more in recent weeks you might have taken more than 4 points from a possible 18 or maybe 6 from 24” Partick H Draw - Just about acceptable, Thistle we’re improving, but we didn’t really have a go. Inverness A Draw - Acceptable Q of S A Draw - Unacceptable, especially given the ending. Alloa H Loss - Unacceptable but still should have won given chances missed. Dunfermline A Win - Acceptable if fortuitous. Morton H Loss - Unacceptable of the highest order. Dundee Utd A - ? Ross Co H - ? DKD if fit owes us one huge performance today, as apart from him being ineligible twice against Ross Co his sending offs and suspensions would defiantly have made some difference to the outcomes against Q of S , Alloa and Morton, possibly 5 points worth ? Coyb, expect the unexpected. Edited April 27, 2019 by NUMBER 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He failed miserably in the long run. He was given backing, and the benefit of the doubt. He had done well at Alloa (including giving us the occasional pasting), it had gone wrong at Dundee, but we hoped he was the type of guy to learn from his mistakes, and was keen to re-establish his reputation as a manager on the up. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant to even accept that he had ever made any mistakes, and wasn’t prepared to put in the hours and miles to put together a proper football team. The outcome was inevitable, but I am sure in his head, he wasn’t to blame for any of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
