If we fail to win tomorrow, arguably the easiest of the next 4 games, that'll be a severe dent to his hopes in the eyes of the Board, if what we've read in the media is correct.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Lasley is part of the furniture at Fir Park as the saying goes. But I feel it would be a lazy option to appoint him. I think the Sun article is lazy. Why would we wait for 4 games to see if he has what it takes. What if he does not ? Tommy Wright would seem an obvious option but would it be more of the same. A safe pair of hands possibly but if we have any ambition I would want us to go for someone who has shown promise like a Graham Alexander or Danny Cowley however unlikely that may be. As long as it is not Levein then he will have my support. I suspect a lot longer than the likes of Yodo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the story of the 4 game test is true, surely the Board will be pursuing other options Iain, as an insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc88 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Lets see how we get on tomorrow, but if the board and players think lasley is up to it then I'd be happy with that appointment. He is his own man and we shouldn't hold the fact he has been assistant to robbo against him. Robbo was assistant to mcghee and baraclough and that appointment turned out alright - and drastic changes were made once he took over. I know he had only been back a month or so under mcghee though. Las was a great captain for us and knows the club inside out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairhill Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Part of the failure was not finding a clear leader on the field who can take them by the scruff of the neck and get something going. He may never have won the EPL but I'm thinking of Gerrard and how he could rise up and take charge by his own example. We need a manager who can find and develop such a player. Las was sometimes able but never quite did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Never happen but Strachan with darren fletcher as no.2 to then move up would be great. Las is a legend and win tomorrow would be magic of course but I feel a total fresh input is needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I honestly think it will be Lasley and with no 2nd string games Ross sort of joint manager til end of the season.Its a pretty weird one as we all like Lasley part of me doesnt want him to get the job to see him fail badly but i would love for him to prove me wrong.

weeyin Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 1 hour ago, grizzlyg said: Las is a legend and win tomorrow would be magic of course but I feel a total fresh input is needed Agree with that. When teams go stagnant, as unfair as it may be, the assistant has to take part of the blame. It's rare that a number two succeeds when a gaffer is sacked/resigns due to poor performances. Assuming there is at least an average level of talent in the squad, a lot of the problems often lie in the psychology of a losing streak. As a result, an outsider with a new attitude and fresh ideas can make a positive difference that an insider cannot. Of course, if Las does take over, I hope he has massive success.

Assuming Las had input into the first team I can't conceive that he's the right person to move us forward. I seem him as a mini Robinson rather than having his own clear vision. He'll need to set us up very differently in formation/personnel to convince many that he's the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 We don't know the nature of the working relationship under Robbo. He may have actively encouraged input from Las and Mo or he may have been very autocratic. We just need to look back to the Butcher/Malpas era. Many of us thought that Malpas was the brains behind the management team with big Terry assuming the army corporal role. In fact it was the other way around. What we do know though is that more of the same won't do today. We're looking for signs of changes to the personnel; changes to players' attitudes; changes to formation; and changes to tactics. That will give us some sort of clue as to Las's ideas. For several reasons its a must win game. Win and Las's stock will rise; lose his managerial prospects will nosedive.

Lobey_Dosser Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Based on nothing more than a hunch, I got the impression that Robinson delegated a little more as time went on, reflecting the trust he had in his staff. Going into this period of interim management, I wonder if Lasley has Mo Ross’ full support as the latter has never been shy in stating his ambition to return to management.

steelboy Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Anyone who thinks Robinson did a good job needs to Iook at what he has left us and get back in touch with reality. He's laughing all the way to the bank and we are heading to the lower leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Longer term this will be seen as a good result as no-one will now consider Lasley for the role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couttsy Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 After today we need to act quickly. Tommy Wright being the obvious.

mfc Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I was never impressed with st johnstone under wright anytime we played them,they were workmen like and hard to beat with a bit of a dirty side to them,all the things we could be doing with now though.

While it wouldn’t be a deciding factor it’s worth noting iirc that Wright fell out with the one player that is performing for us. Huge decision ahead for Burrows and the Board and it would be nice to hear from them. Rightly or wrongly, I always had faith that Robinson would keep us in the league. Who knows what lies ahead now though, we are in a very fragile position and the non-response from the players today adds to the concern.
