I just don’t see it. Im happy to be proved wrong but I think we need a massive character to implement the changes need as stated by CM. This guy won’t do that as far as I can see.

It's promising but we had very similar things on here about Grayson and various other managers.
Yeah means he was the best in that league for sure, but will that hold much power in league one, its a tough one to answer.

Aye but they're not obsessed, just obese

Standard will be quite similar to what we'll get next season TBH.
Did they, truthfully I had no idea who or what to expect

Yay, another fan who is without humility throwing about the Mag-style 'turd at white linen' claims of being just too good for this league. Give your head a shake and listen to the absolute realism being spoken about by our new owners. If you can get your head around that then it might stop you booing a young player who misplaces a pass in the first minute of the first home game of the season.
Tell ya marra, thanks ......

Haway then, amidst the raft of underwhelmed responses, I'm desperately eager to hear who this fictional appointment is? Roy Ferguson, Kevin Allardyce, Jose Di Canio???

How do you know he isn’t a massive character???
Oh what you mean is a name you have heard of? I think we’ve been down that route/rabbit hole a few times
This fella has done very well so far, I accept it’s in a lower league. Those around him are very positive, his peers hugely respectful and there are things about him that show intellect and leadership (MA in Economics and his role in Scottish PFA). Watching his interview it is also clear that he sets the bar high for himself and others around him.
When I put all that together and I compare him to other managers that we have had over the years, it stacks up as evidence of significant and superior potential
I’m very heartened by this appointment. Contrary to your view, I would have been gutted to see another “managerial roundabout” appointment.

This is such a better response than the frequently posted (not by you) - ‘Too long, therefore did not read’ approach.
A bit of courtesy and respect is a welcome change.

I was at their away game v ICT a few weeks back. John Robertson (ex mag) the ICT managers prog notes stated that St Mirren were easily the best team in that division an£ had been one of the worst the year before. He’s also just won the sweaty manager of the month. Plus he sounds like an American PI: Jack Ross PI.
I’m in. The only SAFC managerial appts I’ve been happy with at the time of appt were Reid, Gus, MoN, BSA. The rest since a Brown I either had no opinion of either way or strongly disapproved of. I’m hoying my lot in with this feller.
The Homesick Jack thing hopefully won’t be a big influence.....
Errrrrh we’re in the old 3rd division marra. It’s the joint lowest point in our history.

Nobody knows how it’s going to pan out, best we can do is just back him to the hilt and see what happens. At first I was underwhelmed but it makes a change to have someone that’s young and hopefully going to be able to build something rather than us continue our strategy of fire fighting and short termism. He comes with no baggage of previous or notable failures, almost a totally unknown quantity which in itself is canny exciting because we don’t know what to expect. Hopefully him and Donald are backed in numbers at the SOL.

Ticks a lot of boxes for me and without the baggage of failure, main traits that attracted the new owners to him were his ability to work with a tight budget, great tactical awareness and a big believer in giving youth a chance, apparently Fergie himself and his old assistant who is still at St Mirren as CEO absolutely love him, this is a good choice.
The standard of the SPL must be broadly comparable to League 1 / bottom half championship. He's an unknown quantity in some ways, but who wouldn't be in our circumstances? It's the downside to needing someone new and fresh to help us start again, new means unproven unless we're very lucky and get someone like Chris Wilder.

Nowhere in my post did I say we were too good for this league. We are where our performances on the pitch deservedly put us. What I said is, and I stand by it, we should be ashamed of being in the third tier of English football and that shame should be all the motivation we need to get out at the first attempt.
Anything other than promotion I'll regard as a failure this season.
And before you start saying people should give their head a shake, try reading the f***ing post.

I'm happy with how things are going anyway but the amount of Mag twats tucking themselves up nicely by coming on here and getting all wound up over a league one club is delightful.
Their worst nightmare is safc supporters with a club/owner/team to be proud of while they struggle to find anything to like about Ashley, no matter what league they're in. Without us, they're nothing.

This is my concern too. Recruitment is critical and I’m not sure who is going to be knowledgably covering that this summer. Hopefully scouting was done from Christmas onward, but our track record is poor and we could be swayed by agents. Best of luck to Jack, but I was expecting someone like Hurst who knows the lower leagues in England.

Night and day as far as I am concerned. Grayson was and always will be a bluffer. I was angry and disappointed last year when we gave him the job as it reeked of a lack of ambition. He was far too starry eyed about SAFC to demand anything which is why he got the job.
This lad is on the up, hopefully we can do that together.
I'm happy not to trust anyone currently at the club and to let this lad judge players on his own merit. We've been so bad for so long we need a change.
