Stevie McManus will go out on loan - probably Cowdenbeath - as will Stevie Doris with Jacko coming back.
Of the senior squad - both goalkeepers will still be here. Defensively, I expect Mark Campbell to go out on a month's loan to get match fitness (possibly Brechin or Partick???), Hannah to move into a managerial role (possibly assisting the new Montrose boss - especially if its Eddie Wolecki) and Owen Coyle to only be used in emergencies from now on, especially with Jacko coming back.

Nothing more than a guess - honestly!!!

John Henry. Keiren McInespie, Scott Paterson,David Hannah, Mark Paston.
Any advance on these guys.

Henry and Paston are here for the rest of the season - definite.
Hannah can leave at any time - likely to go into management or stay until the end of the season.
Paterson - injured and out until February or March, contrct ends December 31, not likely to be retained IMO
McAnespie - contract expires Dec 31, running out og time as it would appear no talks have opened up yet between club and player.

Why would you think Henry's leaving? Coyle seems to consider him to be pretty much an automatic starter when fit, so I'd be shocked if he dumped him now. I'd be surprised if Paston went as well - who would we replace him with? The guy's barely even been given a chance yet.
I agree that Paterson and The Davester will probably go. Not sure about Keyring though - Coyle was giving him a bit of praise in today's PA and I've a feeling he may get a contract until the end of the season to give him a chance to prove his worth.

I know he works hard and his running of the ball can cause problems, but I wouldn't be sorry to see Ryan McCann go. I don't think he really contributes anything of great value to the team, especially with Stevenson playing well, and if we needed to get players off the wage bill to bring in a winger and/or a creative midfielder then I think he could be on his way out.

There's many a player I would want shifted off the wage bill before McCann was to be considered for the chop. As you say he works hard, he is capable of finding a pass and is a good tackler - just what we have been crying out for in the last couple of years IMO.

He might not have hit the standard he set himself last season but as Chopper says there's many more i'd like to punt before him!
If he could recapture his form of last season he'd be first pick every week.

Not sure about that. I didn't think he was particularly impressive last season either. He was alright, not bad, nothing special - just as he is at the moment and was before that. He's not a bad guy to have in the squad, and I think you can bring him off the bench and be pretty sure that he won't make any major mistakes or let us down, but he's not really a player who makes a massive difference either. He's just an average mid-table First Division player - he does work hard and I like that about him, but we'll never win the league with guys like him starting regularly, and if we did get promoted he'd get nowhere near the team in the SPL. I'm not saying I actively want him punted, but I wouldn't be remotely bothered if he was.

I think the following should be shown the door:
Campbell
Keyring
McCann
Hannah
Patterson
The next one may be controversial but here goes:
I honestly think Peaso is our most talented player and if fit would score a lot of goals. However, we have been saying that for 4.5 years. It seems to me we are never going to get a fit peaso - maybe its time to cut our losses and sell him. If he was fit - he would be my first name on the team sheet but we are a 1st division club - can we afford to pay good wages for 10 games a season? Maybe we should take him to Marvin Andrews and see what he can do with him :)

Who's to say he wasn't there last week when Starvin' Marvin was at the Nazarene Church!!!
Although, in theory, I agree with the controversial inclusion of Peaso on your list, in practice, I feel we have to keep our best players as those 10 games a season could see him score the goals that gives us, feasibly, an extra 10 points over the course of that time - a total that could be the difference between us and the champions!!!

i think he has alot to offer us, he just needs to get his finger oot...like a few players at times!!
I also fear Dobs could be out the door in January! :cry:

St Johnstone midfielder David Hannah is waiting to find out if he has beaten five other candidates for the manager's job at Montrose. (Daily Record)
