The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread


Recommended Posts

That's a bit of a blow to our own survival chances to be honest, if Stubbs had stayed any real period of time I'd have backed St Mirren to easily be filling one of the bottom two spots come May.

That may still happen but they do have some decent players for this level. I'm not sure which competent managers could be coaxed to Paisley given the deficiencies they do have in other areas of the pitch, but it's no real surprise to see Stubbs going after what I witnessed last weekend. Just couldn't seem to get his team motivated at all.

That him and Darren Jackson don't get on with many people at the club.  I also heard that he doesn't speak to his players but gets Rice or Jackson to do it.

It's a combination of things, or at least seems to be. Things that are undeniable are that he got rid of players that did us a job, and telling more that they could go, then replacing them with poorer players or not replacing them at all. His man management appears to be awful, he subbed Kpekewa 3 mins into the second half against Livingston (why not just take him off at half time?), he dropped Cammy Smith then gave some mealy mouthed interview about whether Smith was staying or not. His tactics were baffling, and his attitude on the touchline was stinking. 

Sacked after 4 league games on the face of it seems ridiculous but what we saw was dreadful, and the rumours that he doesn't get on with anyone appear to be true. You can't continue with a manager who doesn't get on with the squad.

Bit of karma that he is potted after a loss to Hearts.

Was an utterly classless c**t in our Championship procession and couldn't even give us any credit on Saturday.

Good Luck to St.Mirren now, time for a seasoned campaigner to pull you out of the shite Stubbs has left.

Basically from the start he's rubbed folk the wrong way. Said the team that coasted the championship wasn't good enough that completely isolated the backbone of the squad.

Told Eck and McKenzie to find new clubs about a week into pre season which also pissed off the existing players.

Signed some amount of shite.

Told Cammy Smith, who won 4 player of the year awards last year, he was free to find a new club. This caused captain McGinn and Stubbs to fall out alledegly.

Story that he had also fallen out with the nicest guy on the planet, Tony Fitzpatrick. 

Story they he also wasn't on speaking terms with our Academy chief Allan McManus.

Signed some amount of shite.
