That said, had Kearney achieved all of that he'd have been on his way too!! Give him time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. However it really was something what Stubbs managed in that period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be good for you, to be honest. He's very well thought of in the Irish League and of course at Coleraine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start I never red dotted you, and secondly the need for further posts was your own initial ambiguity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the four posts then. Oh, I'm sure "better men than me" have done a lot of things to you. That comes across pretty clearly. The four posts simply demonstrates you are bad at making a point. It seems to really annoy you that someone did though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had already taken that route by posting three times. Unlucky. Swing and a miss etc, as your Greenock counterpart would say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soctty Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Jacksgranda said: No, Kearney, by all accounts, did a very good interview in the summer, and was pipped at the post by Stubbs. However, if he had made the start that Stubbs has made, he would have probably been out the door by now, and the new man unveiled (not necessarily Stubbs). No matter who you appointed in the summer, if he had made the start Stubbs did he'd have been out. If you give Kearney time, he'll turn things round, but it might take him a season or two. He had 7 seasons at Coleraine, which is a considerable length of time in the Irish League where instant improvements are nearly mandatory. David Jeffrey is being given time at Ballymena and I'll nearly guarantee you he will bring them success, given another season or so. You've completely missed the point. Stubbs wasn't sacked on results alone. His "man management", his choice of coach, the destruction of the team spirit, alienation of so many of our title winning team and his relationship with the board, were all far bigger problems than the results. Kearney has already won the fans over in a way that Stubbs didn't even attempt to do. If he can have a similar effect on the players, we'll be far better off than we were before, before we even start considering tactics or any further additions to the playing staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demented Zebra Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Jacksgranda said: Give him time... The man is just in the door and will be given time even if we go down. What he has done is lift spirits at the training ground going by the smiles on faces. That brings a happy environment which has been lacking. Anton Ferdinand will probably sign before the Celtic game. There is also a Nigerian striker and a left winger on trial. The board look to be backing the manager who has done a bit of home work. Will it come good only time will tell as a St Mirren fan I'm now more hopfull now that the shambles Stubbs and bully boy Jackson have gone. Brian Rice is a good number two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
