We should be looking for a good start to the season and St Mirren are going to have a tough season. If we lose these winnable games we will go into the tougher ones under real pressure. a free doesnt mean we shouldnt be looking to win it but it does mean we are not under the intense pressure we would have been had GA stayed the atmosphere would have been utterly toxic , if we went a goal down it would be utter poison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk And he’s probably the experienced ‘head’ that would benefit us just now. Its unlikely though, as I’m sure he’s involved with one of the highland league sides as some kind of advisor on a full time basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Glad it's not my job to appoint our next manager as there's no obvious name popping into my head. Given the timing, we can't really afford to take weeks over it but at the same time, an appointment we need to get right. Tricky balancing act...

Guessing not. Pretty unusual situation for any club, I reckon. Be interesting to see the names that get suggested by the media. It won't be any of them, but it'll be interesting...

C&A not the shop Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Huge appointment. Someone with experience of making do with what's available (like an international manager) would be ideal. Levein would be a great shout I think. As would Strachan if he was interested in managing again. If there was an ex well player with the credentials I'd be delighted for them to come in but I can't think of any other than Lambert. In fact he's been out of work for 18 months, he's probably a decent shout. Ipswich binned him after he got them relegated and wasn't looking like taking them back up but he's got a load of experience and has a connection to the club. He needs a success somewhere to get a big job again so maybe we're the place to do it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Paul Lambert is a good shout which I would have no problem with, big Dunky Ferguson another but imagine SOD's reaction if we got Patterson on loan?. My leftfield appointment is Darren Fletcher being assisted by Faddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert was the only one I could see out a job. Difficult to say , always is. Don't mind taking a few weeks to get the right person and have someone like Hammel look after things for a few weeks.

Marshall Mcleo Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Is Duncan Ferguson still looking for a job. At least if he does well we know he won't get the Scotland job if it becomes vacant. He would instill passion and fight into the Team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 The vacancy has arisen when there are no obvious candidates available. It’ll be interesting to see if the Board look for experience or are willing to give a young upcoming coach a chance. Big Dunc would probably go terribly wrong but he’s the one exciting name that springs to mind. Maloney and Thomson may express an interest. Lambert probably doesn’t fancy a return to Scotland.

real dosser Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Since we won't be paying compensation we need to look at who is available just now. Duncan Ferguson Paul Lambert Claudio Ranieri Any of them float your boat??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&A not the shop Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Big Dunc would be great fun, might go wrong nit it would be good fun. First player to play against us in a cup final that has ended up managing us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyred Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 If he has walked with a contract running until 2025 he deserves huge credit, I would not do that in his position. Credit also for the closing comments, gone with a bit of class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
