He will be watching opposing teams and I believe he will have a lot to do in the scouting side of things. That's good news to be honest i doubt OK would be happy with anyone getting involved with team selection surely that's just undermining a manger now if you could get some transfer activity updated soon we'd appreciate it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonSense Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 A draw against a 10 man Sellik team that are the worst they have been since Ronny Delia, be interesting to see how your next few games pan out. You will be back on the methadone before you know it !!!!! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be a huge benefit to Oran. Onto something completely unrelated now. This civil war between some online fans and GS has to end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPainesBones! Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Gus doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to come in and try and undermine anyone. As has been said, if he plays his cards right he’s got a job for life with Saints, why try to upset the apple cart! I think it’s a decent appointment, lots of knowledge about the Scottish game for OK to use if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A role that we have no idea what the remit is and a role he has never carried out before - perfect fit. I have no grudge against Gus MacPherson,I enjoyed going to the games when he was manager. This new role specially created just seems like a waste of money to me. Money which could be better spent elsewhere. The only thinking I could possibly see behind it would be that Fitzpatrick is heading for retirement and they are looking for Gus to transition into that role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you write we have no idea what remit. So what do we know so far ? Gordon Scott has said we need someone to identify talent. That means someone who will watch talent identified by Gus and the scouting network. Someone to watch the opposition in both cases reporting to the manager. Only my opinion for me it's a fantastic role for our club to adopt that Gus has many years in the game as such will fit this appointment perfectly.

djchapsticks Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Shame as he is definitely good enough. The fitness and lack of pre-season is going to be an issue with a lot of free agents. We simply can't afford to carry any more passengers who need a pre season, even if only for a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that we can't be carrying anyone, but that's also to admit that we're probably not bringing anyone else in at this stage. Ferdinand will be an exceptional case in that he arrived fit (ish). It's going to be a long autumn. Edited September 20, 2018 by Coventry Saint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's about best we have hope for. If someone is coming in needing weeks of basic cardio like a pre season, unfortunately they won't be right for us at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, Edwards did ok out wide, I thought, and Hodson/McGinn got forward well Vs Celtic (first half, at least). Maybe we'll get away with playing narrow and relying on the FBs for width until January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodson on the opposite side. You can utilise Kyle and Flynn out wide also. I don't see width as a problem. The problem was Stubbs that problem has now gone. Sure a winger would be good as would another striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 We have enough players who could play wide if required whilst we await the January window. More concerning for me is the lack of options up front just now. Too few goals in this squad as it stands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
