Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I feel for Lasley. You have your 1st game as Manager and you have Chapman in goals and Mugabi in central defence. Like playing with 9 men. In fact it would have been preferable. Would love him to succeed as he has the club at heart. But like many on here I think being Assistant Manager makes u part of the problem. Tommy Wright would get my support but I feel we need a different direction and TW would be too similar to SR. Would like a young exciting Manager who has fallen on hard times such as G Alexander, Danny Cowley or even Malky Mackay. The latter would be a tough one but if Livingston can appoint someone who had a 6 year prison sentence then.... I was a Robbo fan boy but this seasons signings have been awful. We have had issues with injuries but Accies were missing more 1st team players than us. I like Tony Watt. He at least tries but he is not prolific. Someone up there beside him that could score would be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I can’t even remember what McGinley is like, not seem enough of him but could he not have been tried at left sided central defence. First sub being White was a resignation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ped_MFC Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 My heart says avoid Wright as the way his teams at SJ played would make your eyes bleed. Head says he's the most obvious choice to ensure we're still in the top flight come August. We need someone to grab these guys by the scruff of the neck, get them organised and (hopefully) motivated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Whoever comes in needs to be ruthless and a good man manager. They will also need to be given funds to make about 4/5 signings. Good quality loanees if necessary. Not an easy task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I cannae get excited at the thought of Tommy Wright taking over, but he's got what most of us would accept is a good league record for a provincial club and realised a cup final isn't just a good day out. God knows why he'd be interested in us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd fancy him to at least keep us up and after that showing at NDP that might be the extent of our ambitions. You were looking for a reaction today and we got nothing. We are in BIG trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Would wright really be interested in coming to manage in the same league with a club similar to the one he left and on the same type of budget to try and achieve the same objectives all over again.he is probably the type we need right now but I'm not so sure about him.

fizoxy Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Redemption stories are nice, but I don’t want us to be the club that gives the racist his ticket back into management during a period where players are taking a knee to protest racial injustice. I don’t think even our marketing team can pull together a portfolio for that one. He was also up to dodgy dealings with agents fees, so I’m not sure he’s a fit for us.

Expand Aye your right,his family had stayed in ireland while he was over here,which I'm sure was one of the main reasons he had for wanting a break,i think his relationship with the st johnstone chairman had turned sour over his playing budget which was also a factor.

middleeastdave Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 The goalkeeping situation is very concerning, if Carson is out for a while we will be up the Swanny, as Chapman needs to leave never mind a second chance. PJ Morrison I am still not convinced, I am not sure how he performed with Falkirk, I know he had a few clean sheets but just got this feeling he is not ready for the Premier League, I hope I am proved wrong.

Lobey_Dosser Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Regardless of who comes in we appear to have a number of players who are unwilling to give their all for the club. That puts us in a really worrying position. I feel for Lasley, this opportunity couldn’t have arose at a worse time for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Aye there's been a couple of times recently where robinson alluded to certain players are unwilling to give there all and then lasley said something similar today.it sounds like there could be a few rather than maybe 2 or 3,that is definately a worry,hopefully we can get as of them out the door this month as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no aggression in his play, physicality or defensive instinct. His individual performance against Hibs is the by far the worst so far of the three jokers who we have replaced Hartley with.

Talk about a manager wasting money on transfers, there is your man. A media darling whose reputation far outstripped his ability. Ruined a decent Motherwell team, and was heading the same way with Hibs. There was horror stories of player indiscipline at Rangers and yet he managed to maintain a good reputation in the Scottish game. His second spell as Scotland manager I think is a fair reflection of his capability. Expand Totally agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 My top 3 would be Simo Valakari (we’ve already approached) however he’s just recently moved a few months back. Ian Holloway, good manager at high levels will have some very good contacts and has always good the best out of teams usually. Graham Alexander, relatively young and ambitious with fresh ideas, probably unfairly sacked by Salford this season with them in play off spots, will have knowledge of the Scottish game, had a decent start to managerial career and could be a stepping stone.

underboyleheating Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Paul Cook would be an excellent choice. However, I’m not sure if he would fancy managing in Scotland. He left Wigan in August and is looking to get back into management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
