Abernethy Saint Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 That is just laughable. Ridiculous. Delilah might well be the first reigning MOTM to be sacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy rhodes fancy watch Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Manager of the month award ? It's a lot pish anyway. Manager of the year award now that's a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Losing at home to Thistle is a hanging offence imo, so not surprised he didn't win ithe still wouldn't have got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySpazz Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Previous managers always seemed to bring in Marcus Haber-types, yet looking at the current team (Sutton aside) TW has assembled a excellent team......I honestly think this current squad is the best we have had since the late 90s.MoM ......Manager of the year!

angus-saint253 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) I don't agree with it, but MOM doesn't take into account budget, depth of squad, Europe or cup games. Its a mathematical equation and Celtic are the only team to have won every league game in October. We don't need a bullsh*t award to know we have the best management team in the league.

541ntees Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Haber looked like he had potential just needed a Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscotty Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I suspect Tommy won't be too bothered about missing out on MOM. He has always come across as a humble man in interviews. I'm pretty sure Tommy will be concentrating on guiding us into Europe again and the possibility of another cup win over MOM any day. Give the MOM to Deila, his ego needs it more.

Brogan Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Agree. The only way that the 90's squad trumps this one is in the nostalgia stakes. Nonsense. We had far better players in the late nineties - O'Boyle, Griffin, O'Neil, Dasovic, Main among others. It was a quality side, peppered with internationalists and international squad members up against far better teams.It's unarguable that today's team has achieved a lot more, but you have to acknowledge wider circumstances, including the overall decline in quality of bigger clubs, that puts us in a far stronger position today.

I have to agree with this. The competition in the 90's was far superior. Just look at the other teams line ups back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byebyedundee Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 i agree that the players In general were better or overpriced however it's been a level playing field our buying ability is less also and therefore the competition is the same the biggest factor has been the loss of Rangers, hearts & hibs therefore giving us an easier path to getting higher in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced at all. I wouldn't say Mannus was any worse than Main. I actually feel safer with Mannus than I did Main. Griffin played in a poor NI team and never really went anywhere. Same could be said for Dasovic who was obviously a bit older. These guys weren't capped for big nations.The league is not as strong as tons of teams aren't blatantly cheating now but we've always lived within our means. We have more strength in depth now than we did then I think. Edited November 4, 2015 by Pat McGroin south inch, Kyle and MySpazz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Why is it that every time a mid-lower end English Championship side fires their manager, I immediately think "oh no!"Today it's Huddersfield. Sadly, the job TW has done with us means it's almost inevitable that he'll go. And whilst there will be some here that'll say "he can do better than that" or "we're bigger than them" the reality is that a club like Huddersfield could well be an attractive proposition to him.

Pat McGroin Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 If he goes, we'll be laughing all the way to the bank. While I don't agree, I think he might be considered too old to be attractive to most of these sides.

The man has his bussiness run like a machine and has recently upped his salary without any added pressure...There is no reason for him to up root his foundation unless it becomes an rresistable challenge which quite frankly is not Huddersfield...be cool we'll all know when his time to move comes as it'll be obvious....

Kyle Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I wouldn't grudge Tommy a move to the likes of Huddersfield to be honest - that's a logical move, he'll make more money and get much more exposure there than he ever would here. It's basically everything that going to Dundee United wouldn't have been.Can't see him going so soon after his new contract was signed tbh.

ejksjfc Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I absolutely loved the Saints team of the late 90's however if I had to choose I would take Mannus over Main ...Davidson over O'NeilO'Halloran over O'Boyleand Millar over Dasovic or GriffinThat is not to say that I would not welcome the aforementioned players of the 90's into today's team, they were all great players for Saints and as such are all heroes in my mind.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I am not sure about the 90s team v this team argument. If they could somehow play each other it would be a belter of a game IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Some short memories here. I'm a big fan of Mannus but Main was better.not at all, I just remember his kicking ability. His ego wouldn't fit in our dressing room these days. Football has progressed. Our current team are fitter and stronger than back then imo. Edited November 4, 2015 by Pat McGroin Cagey and ejksjfc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
