For fear of wind up accusation... The Chairman himself on the Algarve last night. Didn't have to, but, offered the little information.

Look, I know it's knickers in a twist time for the usual suspects, but, the club chairman has stated the club has chosen their man & will announce next week. Him being on the Algarve at present - just who was he speaking too?

That was the last green keeper. The investment over the years now paying off.

Ex-SFA coach previously at Braidhurst now employed by Benfica is the link. My nephew, a season ticket holder at ours, is part of the elite system at Braidhurst & has attended Benfica earlier this year through that programme & again was asked over in the summer. Awarded their prestigous Rui Costa award for his achievements, he was offered an extended stay with use of a personal translator et all. Suspect he'll be back. Still can't bring myself to shout "C'mon the Hibees" when I go to watch him at his current club though.

Part right. Not Mr Mackay... but, definitely a posters mum getting pumped

Please don't. It's been guesswork for 46 pages noo. I think my eyes will bleed looking as the usual suspects whataboutery goes into overdrive.

You've got me... I'm hooked. These attributes describe messrs Ferguson, Mourinho and Guardiola to name a select few and certainly not Mark McGhee unless we're glossing over a sizeable chunk of his tenure here. Suppose experience is a step up from the 'safe pair of hands' chat on here.

We keep hearing on the need for an experienced manager - how so?

What you and most on here seem to forget, every managerial appointment at our club is a punt.

Well, our information has it that no compensation would be required for Simo... Just saying likes, plenty of lazy hacks frequent here for a scoop.

Many local taxi drivers wear club ties? I'd wager not a lot. Hearing there are more over in November. The new regime certainly seem to be forging links & casting nets wider.

Bearing in mind, he was interviewed as a favour to his agent last time round... Not even in their reckoning, he knows it, hence, the open interview on BBC Sportsound last week.

They don't? Definitely arrived prior to the Accies match as I seen them being collected at Edinburgh airport that very morning. Fella collecting them definitely had club colours on.

You do know there is a difference in the use of flares & smoke pellets? Bore off with the rest who are tapping into something you prejudice without having a grasp on what has actually happened.

That's not what I said, suspect you know that. But, hey, if it helps you ingratiate yourself with all the wankers & bullied at school who frequent here batter in.

Here we go again... For those holier than thou uber fans... Does it get on your wick when the club offer and in most cases support those involved?

Bite all you like. Rated by some, keeping a shite St Mirren team up every season & winning silverware into the bargain.

Smart money is on Danny Lennon!

Debate all you want... definitely wont be here by close of business tomorrow.

Shut the book. Right there.

Won't stop the usual suspects...

Even by your snide standards that's a shit retort. Expected some more sport to be fair.

Disharmony in the dressing room it is then...

The training pitches don't feature sophisticated sprinkler systems like at Fir Park, you, in your lofty stance should know that. Now had the 'mark Imrie out the game' from 2 different sources involved so no smoke without fire?

Friday morning ONLY was spent on an artificial surface when the facilities were available all week. Gameplan discussed at length was 'mark Imrie out the game'... Worked well right enough. Given the lack of rainfall over the past month, grass surfaces are naturally harder so I'd surmise impact injuries are less likely to occur on the artificial surface - seems our players decided differently and won out. Well, if the manager rarely visits the training field... Oops that's another story.
