St Johnstone have been a managerial proving ground in recent seasons. Owen Coyle did a great deal of good work without achieving promotion to the SPL, but his two years there managed to sufficiently impress Burnley that they tempted him south. The people of Burnley were probably as surprised as the rest of us when Own led them to the FA Premier League but five months into the season he jumped ship to Bolton Wanderers.
Coyle kept Bolton up in 2010 and again in 2011 but they slipped from the league last summer. Poor form in the Championship soon turned sentiment against the manger and he was relieved of his duties in October.
Derek McInnes followed Coyle at St Johnstone and brought them into the SPL in his first full season but 15 months ago, after being touted for several jobs in England, he left for Bristol City, who, bottom of the Championship, sacked him today.
Steve Lomas is St Johnstone’s current manager and the latest to impress clubs south of the border offering larger pay-packets. He would be foolish to accept a job from a struggling club who have sacked their manager mid-season. As we have said several times before, managers receive a great deal of credit or blame but the success of a football club is infinitely more dependent on the entire structure of the club.
St Johnstone’s structure is just fine. The same is true of Inverness, where Terry Butcher decided to stay this week, as well as Ross County and Motherwell. The city clubs, Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts, Dundee United and Dundee all churn through seasons as compulsive underachievers. If they were able to do something about this fact our league would be the envy of most.

Petec,
no problems bud,
wee tune for you,
—————————-
A very interesting video and Thanks for posting it, I’ll save it to the phone and the Howlers can discuss it this weekend. ;)) theres a lot in it.
Right off to bed.
Much to do in a few hours.
If anyone knows of anyone who makes jewelry, or has any use for semi precious stones, I would have enough to start a couple of businesses.
I have everything required to make bracelets, necklaces earrings, you name it.
Letting it all go at cost price or less.
Take care and god bless.

It is only fair that I post what I emailed the Howlers, I’m not part of a secret society after all.
Watch this to get a real handle on what you are posting……..

There is so much more to be “aware” about. I’ve never seen such an overt Masonic video masquerading as something good than that one, I have no idea if the singer has anything to do with the video, if he does, then he should be avoided at all costs.
Good Night. I will catch any responses Monday night.
TET @ 23:49
Apols for delayed reply.
Totally agree.
I think we both have the same concern – the mibbery will be playing a big part over these two legs :(((
Italian huns, no less.
Mibbes a good time to talk to Roma and the support on what to expect from the mibbery.

I spent the years 1961-66 in broomloan rd… The old tenements before the high rises were built. My mum dad brother and sister were there from about 55.
Remember the steamie and swimming baths ….

Did somebody mention A4 sized tenners??
I’ve got a thousand here going cheap – been trying to get rid of them for ages >:((
Will throw in 500 A3 sized ponies, ten A5 sized tons, and a black and white printer-failed monkey.

After a week without my computer I realized my best friend is a small silver square box with an apple on it…
Thank God for CQN!!
Cold and snowy in the valley..
So the cold weather closed CQN did it? Snow hitting the MLs this morning?
Cold morning from snowy Manchester
Hate driving in this.

No joy back from Alan on that mobi number, perhaps I can ask BT to pass on my mobi number and email addy to Alan or Gerry through your good self?
Ps theres a cyber pint of Magners in it for ye :¬)
I see Lenny is getting bored with answering questions about some new third division club. Quite right too. If we draw them in the cup then fair enough, he said, (assuming they are not put out by Dundee Utd …) but apart from that he will stick to teams we actually play.
Beautiful sunny morning in Clydebank! Where’s this snow????
Morning bhoys from a very cold hun free mountain.

I have loads of the stuff, probably enough to start about ten small businesses.
Mail me nohunshere@hotmail.com
When naming rights to stadia have been mentioned before we were talking tens of millions.
Chuck getting a paltry 1.5 for ibrokes. Not bad for a Third Division club and the Sports Direct Stock Liquidation Sale Arena does have a nice ring to it…
“Make Mine a Magners!”
ASonOfDan,
Can we call it Liquidation Arena for short? Can we?
Man City fans paid £62 for a ticket at Arsenal. I take it they only did so because they thought they were going to see Tha rangers…
