I think most wanted O’Neill, I can truly say I didn’t, but most were also happy with Advocat and Moyes, so I don’t blame Short for those appointments. I agree there was nobody to think of alternative, refreshing faces, rather than tried and tested though. So I’m more than happy to give a fresh face a chance

Following our pitiful snowballing into L1, I though we'd at least reached the concensus that over the past 3 managerial appointments, change has been futile. I'll defend Coleman 100% and even Grayson to a certain extent. They were powerless to impact anything. The club has reached ground zero when they arrived with playing staff that a) weren't capable and b) weren't willing to give a shit.

With new ownership and new board structure revitalising the club this has got to be treated as a fresh start without past comparison. Surely?
 
Saw him interviewed on Scottish tv this week and he came across very well. Also Ambitious, but seemed to want to stay at St Mirren this season.

He signed 3 (permanent) players.

Kirchhoff is and was a crock (good player though)
Kone is shit
Khazri is a fat waster, an expensive one at that.

His signings haven't turned out to be good investments

Could have cleared what we paid for all three and made a profit if we’d sold Kone when his stock was high.

Had a friend who worked at Hartlepool under Neale Cooper and the bloke was poisonous. Signed in a free with a bent Scottish agent for a huge signing on fee then picked up a niggly injury and dragged it out eventually turning round and asking Hartlepool to terminate his contract as he was home sick and refused to pay back the agent fees.

Then proceeded to act like s complete knob, be as destructive and awkward as possible and went shooting his mouth off to the press when he couldn't get his own way. After what Charlie and Stewart said in their interviews to hire a bloke who's acted like this with complete disregard for his employer in the past would be a complete contradiction of what they've said they are looking for. So many better candidates available.
 
For what it’s worth I think Ross will be in by Friday. Fits with what Don said in his interview, young and hungry manager and would fit with him saying he’ll have to “explain his decision”.

If it was someone like Keane it kind of speaks for itself...

I think Grayson is indefensible purely for the Steele and Vaughan signings. Especially Steele.

Sounds like exactly the type of character we need to rid ourselves of.

Jan cost relative pennies and played a key part in our survival. Allardyce was able to manage his fitness correctly and got the most out of him.

Khazri has proven at yet another club that he is not a fat waster and was superb in Ligue 1 this season. The fact that the real waster that is David Moyes couldn’t be arsed to perform any man management was the real issue. As for calling him fat, his body fat percentage is probably less than 10% FFS :lol:

Kone was excellent under Allardyce, so much so that a much better club than us were bidding £20m+ for him six months later.

If we ever had a manager again who “wasted” £15m like Allardyce did, we’d be in a very f***ing good position.

Let's look at them now, with the benefit of hindsight.
They havent been good investments. Not necessarily Allardyces fault but still his buys that haven't been value for money

If anything it showed just how poor Moyes was when he managed to completely alienate pretty much every creative player. Januzaj yesterday was talking about how Moyes played a ridiculous sytem and that his tactics were basically long ball and hope something comes off in the final third. Pienaar ahead of Khazri man.
