Touch of the Pressley's here. Thinks he's too good to manage an SPL Club up here.....not that he was ever actually offered the job!!

 

Doubt it's a case of 'I'm too good' but more a case of 'you expect x with a budget of y?' sorry but I don't think that's realistic so i'll save everyone's time and withdraw from consideration now. Having 'failed' at MK dons where they seem to see themselves as a Championship Club but haven't spent a transfer fee since 14/15 season where they spent 225k of the 5m+ they got for Delli Alli.

Don't really blame Robbie for being a bit more risk adverse when it comes to his next job, wouldn't be surprised to see him takeover at Dundee United where it's almost a no lose, if he gets them up then he's seen as better than Mixu who relegated them and Mckinnon and Lazlo who have failed to get them back up, if he doesn't get them promoted then there is an inherent problem at the club.

Delusions of grandeur knocking back St. Mirren. Must think he’s destined for greater things after working his magic in Milton Keynes. 

Why would he take the St Mirren job when the Hearts job is his once his MK Dons pay off is finished ?

Just like CL had to wait until his pay off from Scotland was over before he could become involved in football again.

It's obvious.

Ten years a player won a sc, promoted us over hibs and rangers, got us 3rd ( best league finish in a while), knocks back a club like St mirren who said dafties hate, yet they still bash him. 

 

Classy stuff from parts of our support as per.

No one "has to wait" - it's a straightforward choice to take the compo for the duration it's due or seek further employment.  That's assuming he didn't get a lump sum pay off.

PHM tell St Mirren to GTF......step forward Robbie Neilson. Good on him they've been Celtics bitch since the 80s.

 

Just waiting for his mentor to steady the ship before he jumps back on board....In Robbie we trust.?

Winning the Championship doesn't count when your sense of entitlement has rocketed to the moon. 

Remove that trophy from the argument.

St Mirren have a bit of a problem. The heroic Jack Ross has left absolutely nothing to build with except the promotion itself. The squad is gutted, there is probably little money until they are re-established in the top league, and they will be budgeting for survival. It was totally apparent why Ross allowed himself to be tapped up by Sunderland, he was desperate not to be St Mirren manager next season as it is a hiding to nothing...St Mirren where they are now, could be a career-ender for someone in Neilson's position. Ditto Livi TBH, the promoted clubs are the weakest in years 2 weeks on from promotion, and what's worse is there are 2 of them this time around...

Yip, far better taking on a role like utd, county or Partick where realistically you can go up and then build. 

 

Livi, St mirren and Hamilton who are getting gutted as well are all in trouble. 

 

Ironically, this also gives each a good chance to stay up tho, despite on paper being very weak as you say.

 

Utd would be the smart move, Suprised they haven't sacked Casaba and got him in tbh.

Sensible choice by Neilson. At this stage in his career he needs to go to a club where he can achieve something which will then attract a better level of club. Narrowly avoiding relegation is about as good as he can expect with St Mirren, which in some ways is an achievement but doesn’t exactly polish up your CV. He’d be better taking an English League 2 or even National League team up a division which would enhance (or at least recover) his reputation.

1.2 million I was told by a MK Dons Season Ticket Holder who was glad to see the back of him!. 400k each for his 2 assistants....

If thats true (which I doubt) no wonder he is taking his time and weighing up his options.

If I was him the options would be a Caribbean cruise or a round the world holiday.

That’s not quite true, CL took them to court and the settlement wasn’t ever disclosed as to when it was paid. CL was applying for managerial jobs before Budge asked him to be DoF.

But they are due a sell on fee 33% cut of the world beater John McGinns transfer this summer? They also have his all to similar brothers playing for them. 

Straight back down it is ?.

Robbie on STV

 

Looks like he will be Hearts' next manager to me. 

 

Asked if "he thinks he will come back as a better coach" on 2.26; come back to who ? Hearts

 

For me I'd welcome him back. If Hearts want good young managers with ambition then why not.

In what way? Because he doesn’t want to take on a club who could possibly be relegated just like Elvis did?  Robbie is a very smart guy, he will have a plan.  He knew it was time to get out when he did and MK Dons looked a club on the up, he has to be very careful otherwise he will end up just like Elvis.

Defo, needs to make his next move carefully, could very much end up like Elvis. Every right to have a suspicious mind. 

 

If he'd taken the St mirren job, he could very well have been caught in a trap.

He set up to have a go in every single match the first season regardless of opposition.  The second was polar opposite for some reason which was incredibly frustrating although Dundee away through to about November was actually good to watch.

To be honest he actually started to switch playing styles after that first loss at home V Falkirk. (think it was in the January) and it went from there. 

 

It lost him a large portion of the support over time (especially after the Hibs debacle) and I was very disappointed as I thought he was going to be an excellent young manager who'd be well on his way by now. 

 

The Birkikrkara game done it for me.
