Yeah we do need to start seeing some of the young lads stepping up. It's not like they have coattails of older pros to ride along on. Fingers crossed some come of age this year.
Stephen. ****ing. Robinson. I can't take the sheer glamour of this appointment. Speakman probably thinks St Mirren is a French club.
Think a few will end up dumped before too long. Especially if it's true that we are looking at more youngsters a la the west ham lad.
Know nowt about Robinson so I’m in the ‘I’ll judge him on what I see’ camp. If true he must have something. Not convinced those slating him know much more than me but if so what about his teams playing style are you not keen on?
Aye ok…. 3 managers in one season… no manger in over 102 days… no recognized striker in over 18 months is the fans fault…. I’m 66 now and my entire life supporting this club has involved “ being patient “ sick of it now
1.24 points per game with St Mirren. Slightly better with Motherwell. Sacked at Oldham inside six months. Reeks of a bloke who'll be a yes man because he wants the job more than we want him. Speakman will love this one.
Christ, we're now accepting Nixon as gospel just to clutch at any straw to bash the club with. Has he ever been the first to report something accurately about us?
https://www.footballteamnews.com/football-season-guide/st-mirren-scotland-premiership-2023-2024 'predictable and lacking in options'. You can almost hear Speakman's eyeballs rolling into his head in ecstasy. However it does mention them having no wingers there and we could just about put an entire team of them out.... There's some better stuff further up mind. It's a giant step up for him though in terms of quality and expectations, with zero settling in time. And another manager rather than coach. If we get someone desperate to be here rather then someone we were desperate to get, we'll be back here again in January most likely. That power dynamic has the be right if we're going to get anywhere.
So you know what you can find on google with your added spin, ie you don’t know but you’ll use it to have a go anyway.
He has a win record of 35% over 350 games. He has achieved next to nothing. We get by far the biggest crowds in the Championship and could claim to be the biggest club in the division. Yet we seem to have reduced ourselves to begging Still to come or considering a journeyman from a mid table Scottish team. I highly doubt this link is true but if it was it would highlight how much KLD/Speakman had squandered the opportunity they had when they took over. If Leeds had shown the slightest interest in Still he'd be over in a flash. Yet under KLD and Speakman we don't see ourselves as in the same league as Leeds and are potentially reduced to considering run of the mill coaches like Robinson who have less than average records.
Presuming you do know about Robinson. Strikes me people quoting google or wiki stats know as much as I do. Would you turn on him / the club if he came ? Or give him a fair crack with backing?
A vocal part of our fan base are far more committed to disliking our club than any Newcastle fan. Weird.
