Does anyone know of Stephen Robinson has been approached for the managers job?
13 Oct 2025 08:17:45
Thats who i d like to get the job Dada, knows the league and a back to basics approach, at least at the start and i d be intrested as to how well he d adapt to working with better players.

Think he is the best we can appoint now. Pragmatic and done well in the league. No nonsense approach and would make us hard to beat. Think that may now be the best way forward however our board won't stoop as low as st Mirren. They want someone not from here as Robinson wouldn't be glamorous enough. Real stink coming from that board in terms of the way they view Scottish football in my opinion. Which is rich considering none of them can seem to get our team winning so it must be a hell of a lot tougher than they all though.

Our view of Scottish football has been a real stink long before our new board arrived. Ferguson, Miller, Doig, Shankland, McInnes have all slipped through the net in favour of sub par foreigners.
Any concerns you have with the board should be aimed at why they want to keep Thewell and Stewart and give them power and control instead of Gerrard. This is why Gerrard refused the managers job.

I do think he is in a McLeish mold. Who had a 30.8, 47 and 66% at Motherwell, Hib and then Rangers. At St Mirren 34.8% and 42% at Motherwell Al on a limited budget.
13 Oct 2025 10:09:38
20% win rate, 25% win rate and 30% win rate at his clubs surely by everyone's logic on here he's just Martin 4.0? Why would you want him.
13 Oct 2025 10:11:33
I would absolutely take Robinson! I feel like it's less of a risk getting a manager in that knows the league and what we'll be up against each week! Even the most established managers will be a risk if they don't know and understand the league!
13 Oct 2025 10:21:19
Game is over if that's who we Appoint as our next manager don't understand why some fans would settle for Robinson or would want him we need to aim higher if we want to compete in Europe and in the league.
13 Oct 2025 10:26:00
Or Martindale? Owen Coyle? I'm away for a lie doon and I'm at work.
13 Oct 2025 10:31:33
I think Robinson would do a great job. I'd get him in till the end of the season with the option of a 2 or 3 year extension based on performance targets.
13 Oct 2025 10:46:02
Great insight Defoe into why Gerrard refused the managers job. Can I ask your source for that information?
13 Oct 2025 10:53:34
Martindale is a very good manager his past is likely the reason that he's still at livvy, i'd take Martindale right now absolutely no problem.
13 Oct 2025 11:17:48
Yet again the snobbery against people working in Scottish football creeps in, don't you realise that win percentage in Scotland is always going to be skewed because of Rangers and Celtic, then the rest all have the ability to take points off each other. There are good Scottish based managers out there who would do a great job at Rangers, or indeed at Celtic, but because they aren't a big enough name will never be given a chance or the time to settle. It's absolutely appalling that people in our fanbase are like that. Walter Smith would never be given the chance these days that he was given all those years ago, I'll leave you all to think that one over.

Alloa. Gerrard wants the final say on players signed and staff. Thelwell and Stewart don't want to relinquish this power. They want a yes man. The manager should always have the final say. I just hope the board see sense.
13 Oct 2025 12:36:59
Bottom of the barrel stuff.
13 Oct 2025 12:02:18
Had a nightmare last night, was stuck in a lift with Stewart, Robinson and Martindale. Horrific, but Rafa turned up and beat them up with a beeg cloob .
13 Oct 2025 12:08:59
This is how far we've fallen! Robinson is what some want!
Sad days, we are now officially a club riddled in mediocrity! Perhaps a title every 10 years!
Zero ambition, zero planning, no connection from owners an empty rudderless vessel.
Anyone wanting to spin this any other way is burying their head in the sand.
13 Oct 2025 13:20:44
I'm not snobbish against Scottish football but what I wouldn't want is Rangers playing the type of football that St Mirren and before that Motherwell played. Back to basics is right, batter the ball up front to two big guys to battle for it. It may get us second place in Scotland if that's our ambition but we could forget about winning the title and doing anything in Europe .
Just because Martin has depressed us all, we shouldn't just give up, we should be looking to improve by signing good players and playing good football .
13 Oct 2025 13:25:42
Defoe, i think Alloa was more wondering what your source was (other than mainstream media rumours) for why Gerrard refused, rather than your take on why he refused. We've all seen the rumours about wanting more control, until it's confirmed by the club or Gerrard, no-one really knows.
13 Oct 2025 14:43:58
GDog aye that's what it looks like they are just seeing names and going parrot fashion, Robinson is like someone on helium can you imagine him and Stewart having a wee chat?
