Lose on Wednesday and against Hearts and you're potentially 5 points off bottom with 10 to play. A grenade manager makes that a risk. Or- 2 wins in our next 2 games takes us 4 points off of 3rd place. I know which permutation i prefer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but your glass is always barley a quarter empty mate. Honestly have yet to see over the years anything positive and St Mirren from you. Every week you predict Saints to lose lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross travelling up and down from Northumberland to Easter Road shows he is wanting another English club hope we keep well away. A bloke who failed at Sunderland & got sacked, then sacked again (you can argue the merits of that) at Hibs isn’t getting a gig in England again any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost 10 games in 75 at Sunderland and overall has a win rate of just under 50%. I think he's been treated pretty badly at his last 2 clubs. If Jack Ross is to become our new manager, it will have been some piece of business from us. Probably about 400k in and an upgrade of manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddiesaint Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 In the last 5 games, only 1 team has gained more points than us, and they sit top of the table. Given the fact we played one of those games without a manager or Assistant manager I'm pretty happy with that form. Not saying the unbeaten run is going to continue all that much longer - but its strange to see people act like we're doomed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 One thing all St Mirren fans can agree on is that Jim Goodwin is a handsome basturt’ of a man. Whoever we appoint therefore needs to up their game in the sartorial stakes. To decide who would make the best St Mirren manager, I searched in Google ‘Scott Brown in a suit’, ‘Steven Naismith in a suit’, and ‘Jack Ross in a suit’. The results are in. Welcome to St Mirren Jack Ross, you had a good interview but maybe next time Naisy, and for actual fcuk sake Broony. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I can’t get my head around how a team sitting in our position in the Premiership is being strongly linked with two ex-Scottish internationals who have never managed a first team game in their lives, Apart from ‘they might turn out to be good’, can anyone give a solid reason why either of them deserve to manage St Mirren in the Premiership as their first job? Surely, surely to god, Jack Ross isn’t being overlooked for either Naismith or Brown, and I would be worried about the competence of our board members if that turns out to be the case. I don’t think either of them should be appointed, but appointing former international players who’ve never managed before is hardly some batshit mental idea that no one’s ever tried.It happens at all levels of the game, with varying levels of success.Rangers appointment of Gerrard worked out ok, Arsenal appointing Arteta not so much. Hibs did it with Maloney a few weeks ago, were their fans up in arms?Again, I don’t think we should go down this route, but if we choose to that’s okay. We are in a position to take a gamble with safety assured and a proven and experienced squad. I’d certainly much rather Naismith than Brown. He’s a smart fella who is very well spoken of at all his former clubs and I think he has what it takes to be a good manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumbartonBud Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 The unanswered question at the moment with Naismith and Brown is who they would bring in to assist. If they bring in another rookie then it looks very much like a major gamble, an old head then they will surely have some baggage. Presumably Ross would be looking at Potter and maybe Sammy, making things difficult for Jamie. An interesting few days ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Aberdeen salaries will be greater than ours - can't see Sammy leaving them for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that, and I’m fully aware a club at our level won’t be taking their pick of the best out of work managers. What doesn’t sit right for me, is that at a time when St Mirren have a genuine chance of achieving their highest league placing in near 40 odd years, we are over looking a tried and tested manager at this level in Jack Ross, in favour of a couple of guys who have managed at Racecourse level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestion at the time was that JR, on his holidays, was contacted by Sunderland and agreed terms without the knowledge of SMFC. If there really is a split in the board then my guess is it would be the 3 above who are against because they weren't happy with Jack's conduct 4 years ago. Tough one.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure of the facts but going by some of the tweets I’m seeing, there’s major unrest behind the scenes. Stewart Gilmour Having a pop at Kibble on Twitter last night, has fuelled the fire. You do wonder what impact this kind of online unrest will have on any potential new manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
