Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 15 hours ago, DalryJambo said: What's your background in running a football club? What's the highest level you've taken a club? You (probably, but correct me if I'm wrong) don't have the first idea how to actully run a professional football club. The problem football fans have is that they only care about the results of one team, their team. But, they compare their team against every other team in the league. This means every year (excluding the old firm) we have 9 teams we're competing against and it only takes one of them to get it right and it makes everyone say, look they can do it but we can't. This year its St Mirren, last year it was Aberdeen, the year before it was Dundee United. In the last 3 years St mirren have been bottom half, 6th and in this year are doing well. That's years of building, next season they could be crap again. Aberdeen have been up and down for years, hibs the same...Dundee United arent even in the league any more!! But every year one if them gets it right and they give us a challenge. I 100% feel our club are slowly moving in the right direction, the squad is improving year on year (maybe in its depth, rather than the starting 11) and this will allow us to change our recruitment strategy in the near future (2 or 3 players each summer rather 5-6). Mate hardly gonna be on here if I’ve ran a football club, what a daft thing to start a comment with on Jambos Kickback! If you’re looking to debate an experienced professional in the field of running a football club you’re sorely mistaken in looking here. You then go on to say that we aren’t getting it right in terms of strategy, set-up, tactics in the way St Mirren have this year. Congratulations, that was my point. I agree the squad is getting a better over time but we are lacking an identity on the park and that comes down in my opinion to the wrong managerial appointment.

I agree the squad is getting a better over time but we are lacking an identity on the park and that comes down in my opinion to the wrong managerial appointment. You started by saying "I think the footballing department have over complicated how to be successful at this level." If you've never run a club, how do you know how easy or hard it is? I think the majority of fans massively underestimate how difficult it is to run a football club. You also completely miss my point about our opposition. It only takes one team out of 9 to pull it all together each season and get ahead/challenge us for us to have a bad season, where as we are 100% focused on only one club, Hearts. Now, we've got a bigger budget than most, so it's not quite that simple...we should be doing better. But all the other clubs are trying hard to improve and the gap from us to the bottom few teams, per player per week, isn't really that much.

Thats probably my starting 11 for Sunday. Would have Vargas leading the line too. And please leave the laddie up for corners against. We need an outlet and a pressure release valve when we are up against it. Tell him just to retain possession and take it for a run. Stopping a constant bombardment needs balls and for us to try and hold onto possession in midfield and forward areas. We done it well first half against them before. Let's not sit in quite so much!
