CJGJ Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 St Mirren manager not to return for pre-season training The future of St Mirren manager Oran Kearney is in fresh doubt after the club told him not to attend the first day of pre-season training, STV has learned. The Northern Irishman's relationship with Saints chairman Gordon Scott has broken down following a dispute over Kearney's commute. The 40-year-old travels to Ballymoney in Northern Ireland every weekend, where his wife and family live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 My best friend is a St Mirren fan and was telling me about this last night. The board must be crazy to ask him to move. Kearney took over last season after Stubbs brought in a load of awful players who would have struggled in the championship never mind the premier league. Against all odds and expectations he kept them up. After the balls up with Stubbs (predicted by many on here) they struck it lucky with Kearney. Will the next appointment being so lucky? Kearney has a young family and the salary he is on (according to my pal) wouldnt justify him moving them all over hear. If he leaves other teams will be in for him. Hope they get relegated.

Pagey Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If Goodwin goes as predicted above, does that bring into play the coaching move from our back room staff to Alloa? Sure I saw that mentioned on a thread before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodami Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I wonder if this might have some knock on impact on us. Wasn't there speculation that Daly and Fox may take over at Alloa when Goodwin was being heavily touted to go to Dundee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really ideal for a football manager to leave the country every weekend considering games are normally played at the weekend. ? Is he going to manage the game via Skype?

Think he is a good manager, and sounds a thoroughly decent bloke. I watched a lot of the “irish“ league show from start to middle of last season and he came across very well with good philosophies and ways of working. He will do well back at coleraine if that’s his choice or wherever his future lies st Mirren on the other hand are a manky Celtic masterbating scum of a club. the chairman who is so against his manager commuting actually believes they should be top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the guy's at work when he's supposed to be. Better off out of it, if the Chairman is being that much of a *****. You'd be surprised. Celtic managed to empty Lou Macari as he was in breach of contract for not living within a 45 mile radius of Parkhead. I think living in a hotel and not bringing over the family had a major impact on Mourinho's time at Man U as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 After this, I wish they had gone down. Having them in the league brings something more than Hamilton and the likes though. Is this the same chairman who sacked Danny Lennon for being too mediocre and replace him with Tommy Craig? Deserves all he gets if so.

letsalldothebeattie Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Got to feel for Kearney. Done a pretty good job keeping them up looks a decent manager. Hopefully if he does go it backfires big time on St Mirren and sees them relegated this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserves all he gets if so. I dont think it is. IIRC Lennon was sacked by Stewart Gilmour and the current guy is Gordon Scott (happy to be proved wrong). For an ex-hibee I didnt mind Danny Lennon. Saw him play youth football many years ago and he was a stand out way back then. Heard him on Radio Scotland a year or so ago talking about the time he left St Mirren. Tommy Craig and he had agreed that they would both go. Lennon had his meeting with the board and that was him gone. Tommy passed him as he was leaving and said he would text him after his meeting with the board. That text didnt happen as TC was offered the managers job and shat on his pal. He could/should have contacted DL to say he was offered the job and wanted to have a go on his own but he didnt have the balls to do it.

Wasn't that keen on Lennon but feel sorry the way he was treated at Saints. Always found it mad that he's struggled to get more work at the top level of Scottish football. The fact that he dropped down to League 2 to take over Clyde shows he obviously just loves the game and wants to keep involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavropol Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Read today Lennon took them to 8th in the league, kept them up for 3 years and won the Cup (yes, had to bring that up sorry)... doing well at Clyde, wondered if they could go back for him?

Googled Danny Lennon to see what he's up to now as for a while there he was yet another "next big thing" in Scottish football management, destined for big things (see also Alan Archibald, Tommy Wright, John Hughes, Terry Butcher, etc etc) and at 50 he looks like my 83 year old Dad!
