    Any chance to have a pop at SAFC and the forums are like Redcar beach ...

    If it is Robinson then Speakman is done here, first beale and potentially Robison after having nigh on 4 months to find a replacement

    It's not going to be Stephen Robinson when we've been linked with the likes of Maric and Wicky.

    I wouldn't be so sure. Every time we've been searching for a head coach under Speakman we've been linked with coaches from all corners of the world and then ended up with a British coach.

    His style isn't exactly too dissimilar to Stills either.

    Clearly aren't going after all of these young progressive coaches only to fall back on Robinson.

    Just doesn't make any sense and I refuse to believe the club are acting as erratically as that.

    I wanted Neil, I really didn't want Mowbray. I really didn't want Beale just because I thought there were much better coaches out there and I was very underwhelmed.
    However I don't think his record before he came was as bad as people were making out.
    Yes it was a basket case when he came, but that wasn't all to do with results either.
    I don't care what any supporter says they didn't know enough about him to start the witch hut before he even came through the door.
    It pissed my off that KS selected Beale over Maric but even he isn't that experienced in head coach role.
    I would really not be happy if this Robinson came in after the coaches we've been linked with, however if he was I would judge him on results, however I do feel it would be another basket case as the witch hunt would be identical to Beale.
    That kind of negativity around a football club will never end well. I'm not one for blaming fans as we are unbelievable, I love travelling the country in our masses, but there are some cock wombles in the ranks that don't realise they harm they do to the club

    I’m hoping it’s coming from someone’s back end

    I think Speakman will know he can't make that mistake again. If we're going British, Rosenior makes more sense. Both as the obvious option and the sensible choice for Speakman.

    Speakman hired Beale and has had 4 months to find a replacement so no, I don’t trust Speakman.

    There's a massive difference in what people will believe.

    Any positive rumours and they'll say there's no chance it'll happen.

    Any negative rumours and they're jumping straight in attacking the club as if it's gospel.

    It's so rapid and automatic it destroys their own argument.

    I hope so.

    Was at a St Mirren game in November and I can't say it was enjoyable. Mikael Mandron was their top scorer this season:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    My trust is speakman isnt in a great place after the Beale appointment, however, he did get the previous appointments spot on

    This appointment is massive for him and KLD so i havent minded them taking their time to get it right

    Having said that if we dont have a manager by this time next week ill be pretty worried

    Add the sentence before it for context ;)

    "Squad also lacks wide players to provide good service to the forwards. Makes the team a little predictable and lacking in options."
