rick witter Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Pay the compensation and go and get the man who is proven in this league and gets results time and again with a fraction of our budget. We need experienced guys in charge and that is even more evident after today. He would also get a rocket up our underachieving players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hibs thought Butcher was the right man. Wright has no expectations so doesn't have the same level of pressure from the stands. I'd be very hesitant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Wasn't sure about TW before but we could do a hell of a lot worse. Only 'proven' manager in this league bar McInnes that can deliver top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendricks Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Whether we go for Wright or not the stark differences between how a tiny club like St Johnstone and the 3rd biggest club in Scotland, Hearts, are being run in terms of the football side is unbelievable. Whilst St Johnstone squeeze every last drop from their meagre resources, and remember they struggle to get 3000 home fans through the doors, we, with our 14,000 ST holders and 8000 FoH subscribers flounder around in such an incompetent and abysmal manner it is completely bewildering. We are a total shambles on the pitch. As a club we are massively underachieving. We have no clue how to recruit players on a consistent basis, we sign bunches of players who are no better than what we already have, we have some totally ludicrous and unworkable footballing setup which is completely unnecessary for a club of our size and will never be a success and we constantly fail to utilise our resources thus handicapping and self harming ourselves. St Johnstone have a structure and do everything to give the best opportunity to their manager to succeed. We have lost all sense of what is even best for the club. The next few days will tell us everything about Ann Budge and whether she has any clue whatsoever as to how to turn around the football side of things.

Paolo Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It wasn't very eye bleeding when they tore us up for arsepaper at Tynecastle a while back, Winston. One thing is for sure, we cannot carry on with the same 'model. We are not a feckin college for head coaches. We are the third biggest club in the country and should act accordingly. It also isn't as eye bleeding as our football over the last year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they invest a lot or not isn't really relevant.. it's a big part of what Hearts are doing. One of many things we need from a head coach is a strong track record with kids. Otherwise our own academy funding is a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only games I remember against Saints in recent years, particularly up there, have been horrible. Not denying we need a big shake up and Wright has done a fine job but it's a totally different scenario. I'd confidently predict our fans would be screaming about being served up shite pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyowalnut Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Why would we turn our noses up at him? He's done a great, and consistent job with saints. He's not my favoured choice,but then again I'm becoming so disillusioned with this recruitment process I don't know who is. To perhaps go against the grain of many,I don't particularly care if a manager brings in youngsters. I want to see the team win. If that's with 11 27 year olds that came from elsewhere,as long as we are winning I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and it would seem May was out on loan a few times and became a regular at Saints when Wright was appointed in summer 2013. May went on loan to Alloa and banged then in. Then went on loan to Hamilton and banged them in. Think he realised that he had to improve physically to play at the top and did a power of work himself to do that. Read an article once that he shared a flat with a personal trainer and they worked together on his fitness and strength. Love this guys attitude. He's determined to be the best player he can be.

That's how bad it has got at our club mate. St Johnstone are a far better team than us. They don't ten over that many players and all the players in their side want to win for he manager. I would pay the compensation for him and get him in tomorrow if it was up to me. We will probably appoint another puppet and be looking for another manager and a whole team of players gain in six months.
