Who knew? Mentioned it on 30 November in McDiarmid Vacancy. Only noticed it because Saints were looking for an Accountant and replies were to her as opposed to Stevie Brown.

Jimmy Wallace Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 She had previously worked at Kilmarnock, but I don't think particularly recently, so not quite accurate to say she was recruited from them. I agree it's odd so little has been made of her appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I’m speculating of course, but so many non-football side managers seem to come and go at Saints very quickly, and this may be because they are not allowed to actually change things and bring in new ideas. Like, for example, the 21st century. If Broon just wants to shift the workload but not the decision-making, nothing will change and she will be gone soon.

I agree it's odd so little has been made of her appointment. Kirsten left there and came here. I don’t think there was much time in between. Possibly even the same month that Paul left (July?). I’m sure she left Kilmarnock just after they performed so courageously against those giants of European football - the Nomads. As chief executive, Kirsten dealt with my son’s complaint against Kilmarnock which he took to the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Such lengths to resolve a complaint about attending a match as a supporter who has a disability! However, we live and, hopefully, learn. I had to personally advise another premier league club recently that their disabled access policy was actually discriminatory - they listened and changed their web site before they too were in danger of a discrimination complaint being made. Some clubs it would seem are still unable to learn. Thanks to the sterling work of Bev and Paul (and the board), no such issues are likely to arise at St Johnstone. Welcome Kirsten, I wish you well and hope that your time with us is a great success. HOODLUM65, Coltrane, blueheaven and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintdunc Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 From what I read Killie were not too disappointed about her departure and, at the same time, also confirmed that it had nothing to do with the defeat by those giants of Welsh football.

Dave H Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I read that and got a lump in my throat...... plastic pitch must not arrive in Perth! I would literally not return until we played on grass again. Really odd that the club have went about it given the importance and interest in the appointment.

blueheaven Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 The below two quotes from that interview really stood out to me. These are things that fans have been saying on the various forums for years, but it's the first time I've ever, ever heard someone from the club actually voice these sentiments. I really hope her approach to engaging with fans and increasing support is going to turn out to be more modern than what we've been used to over the years - if so, then I think this is an exciting appointment. “So we know what we have here and from what I’ve seen the interaction we have with the community is fabulous. But we don’t shout about it – and that needs to change.” “We must make sure we’re out in the schools, engaging everyone, getting more complimentary tickets out to more community groups, making the pre-match and half-time more of an experience than just drinking a Bovril and looking at your phone. It should be far more interactive and engaging. We want people to enjoy match day because a club can be so much more than the sum of its parts. It’s an emotive subject and it should be, it has reach.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Look forward to receiving the best of Robertson, then like a football manager, we get another one. Only difference is: if she is a success we can't get a transfer fee for her.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 The Kristen effect has started.
