The question I find that I’m asking more often is, do we trust him to sign the players of sufficient quality that will allow us to be competitive at this level. From what I’ve seen with his recruitment , he gives me the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fony Titz Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 What makes you so convinced that the tweet had anything to do with the club? Most of the thought for the day type stuff he posts bears absolutely no relation to goings on at St Mirren, so why would this be any different? Isn't the fact that the twitter account is based on his fictional children's book character enough of a hint? Yes, he occasionally does use the account to refer to club related stuff, and perhaps he should reconsider that, but the other stuff, including yesterday's offering, is just fluff and not to be taken too seriously (or literally). While BM over stepped the mark in his post if you follow @BabakoochiBear I think you would have to be blind to not see a direct corrolation between the memes and what is happening at St Mirren.However like any of these self help guidance memes they can generally be taken two ways, positively or negatively depending on how you want to read them. They are a bit like horoscopes in that you see what you want to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's seeing a possible correlation, and then there's abusing Tony in the manner that BM did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a third way to take these memes - with a pinch of salt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that someone sees the kernel of what I am getting at, but let's be honest here I absolutely shat the bed and went off on one when I really shouldn't have. If there was validity in my point, it's been lost in the rubbish I wrapped it up in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is not a change of fortune in the month of September I expect Stubbs last game to be Hibs at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony managed the situation with ease when Jack Ross targeted players. He basically got the ones he wanted. Why all of a sudden do you think that all of the players targeted by Stubbs have failed to materialise. There’s one reason and it’s not Fitzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems so disappointing that when we finally get our heads above the financial water we trip ourselves up. I don't blame anyone for hiring Stubbs, I said before I thought he was the best option from an ever decreasing pool, but it just seems so odd that it's really not working at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do a lot of good work for and with the club however this close season you have continually painted a picture of doom and gloom. We have just been promoted with a lot of change at the top, there is always going to be a transition period from one season to another never mind changing manager in that period. The unnecessary Team Eckersley stuff was the start of it and almost led a witch hunt against the new manager - all because Stubbs told an injury prone player he was free to leave. By all means voice your opinion but at least give it a chance before doing so. It is probably the biggest forum to reach out to Saints fans after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly because we're targeting better players, and are a small fish in the big pond we're competing in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think more Sportscene and online match reports from the press which make for horrific viewing and reading. If Jack Ross had read the Sunderland forum before joining you would have thought he would have ran a mile. BAWA has around 200 posters what percentage of the support is that ? Fact is from the Killie game not one marquee signing has happend when most of the forum was behind Stubbs so your writting rubbish I'm sorry to say. Spartons, Queens Park , Rangers 10man period, Aberdeen , Livingston should have alarm bells ringing. For me it's not if Stubbs will be sacked more what damage will he do before being sacked. He came to a club where team and fans were at one. Even if you don't agree with other opinions can you say were are at one now ? Thank Stubbs for that.

Stevie88 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So we’ve missed out on another target, who we apparently pushed the boat out to sign. I think Kenny would be worth a gamble on a years contract but no chance on a 2 year deal, probably not the worst outcome on this specific target. However, the current squad are far from good enough to stay in the league... especially with a manager who’s incapable of playing our best players in their best positions. What now? My guess is Stubbs signs more sub-standard players & he will be sacked before the end of September. Winning the league last season seems years ago, fucking depressing! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
