Mr Heliums Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 For all the talk of lack of subsequent success for managers who move jobs within the Premiership, it's sobering to note Saints have a solid record of managers turning down bigger jobs in the top league - and then utterly imploding. Back in the 1980s, Alex Rennie turned down a job at full-time St Mirren about six months before triumphantly leading us to successive relegations and the bottom of the senior football leagues. And in 1999, Sandy Clark rejected overtures from Hearts just so he could finish the job of relegating us single-handedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, if he went to Utd and relegated them it would be a splendid variation on your theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 What a peculiar prediction. I don't actually believe they could possibly be that dumb but it would be funny after all the names linked with the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milnzo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 When was the last time a manager who moved between top flight clubs was successful? Cant think of one recently anyway. That's not to say it wouldn't work but I would be just as happy happy with Mixu, or Irvine. Craig Brown saved Aberdeen from certain relegation and signed McGinn, Hayes and Reynolds. That's about it. Quite good for a bumbling oaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Loving the progression of the St Johnstone fans here. "THERE'S NO WAY HE'S GOING!!!!!!!!1111111111!", "He'd be mad to go", "I don't care if he goes, he's rubbish unless we're underdogs" Where next?

Paris Hilltoon Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'll be gutted if he goes, they're obviously a bigger club. I just don't believe it will happen though. Have another good season with us and he should have his pick of bigger jobs in England come the summer. Our last three managers have all went to much bigger clubs than Dundee United, where are United's last three these days? It's good job but at the wrong time.

Dee Man Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Quite disappointed there hasn't been a screenshot of bookies odds or a Jim Spence tweet in the last couple of hours as I like to be kept up to date with shit that means nothing whatsoever.
