Tried to play some good stuff. Could be a good leftfield appointment. Should have got the job the last time , Stubbs was not a popular appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really understood the antipathy towards Shiels, I always found him quite entertaining. I know he managed Morton, but that's hardly a crime.

Forced to compete with a squad that isn't his in a league he doesn't even have some meagre playing career in. He could be the messiah- but he's setting himself up for a hiding to nothing. As daft as it sounds, the best bet would be to go for some dull, uninspiring option at the moment to steady the ship - then maybe come the end of the season evaluate things from that point? Tbf, if we punted McCann I'd be screaming for Ketsbaia or Weighorst as everyone loves a foreign import but at least they've played here! If he does join, I hope it goes well, but not at the expense of us! With all due respect Ludo I hope whomever Mirren appoint does go horribly wrong because if it doesn't it WILL be at the expense of us. And St Mirren fans I have no quarrel with them at all, in fact I admire them for supporting their club when they are basically right in the belly of the Old Firm beast.

djchapsticks Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'll be honest, I'm quite excited for Kearney coming in. The player testimonials at his current club are rather glowing in terms of his man management and adaptability but for me, the most important attribute for a modern football manager is intelligence, which he appears to have plenty of. I'm excited to see what he will bring to the table in terms of both tactics and how he goes about dealing with and motivating players who are on a low at present.

I think not being Alan Stubbs is going to give him a good head start on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this precise point in time, what you describe is undoubtedly the most critical attribute to get right in the new man. Not his recruitment, or even his tactical awareness. We need someone who can connect with the players, lift them out of the Stubbs-induced malaise, and inject some spirit and confidence into the squad. The rest will come in time, but the critical foundations must be in place. In all honesty, I think we have enough ability in our squad to keep us in touch with the other teams near the foot until January. Then, OK will have the opportunity to stamp a bit more of his identity on things. We need to be patient, however. OK has a tough job ahead of him, but it is a great job for the right man. Let's hope OK is that man. I have a good feeling about this that I never had with Stubbs from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I expect we should see something official from the club today. There seems to have been an issue with some personal details, but it’s all been sorted for him to be in charge of his last game at Coleraine this Saturday. He should be in place for Monday and what a start to have in his first game against Celtic on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways it's not Sheils' fault, as the media knows he is a complete rent-a-quote buffoon and will lazily use him to fill their papers/websites.
